Nick Jonas recently shared a heartfelt message to his younger self, revealing that the one piece of advice he'd offer is a simple yet profound: “Congratulations, you get to marry Priyanka Chopra.” Speaking candidly on the Jay Shetty Podcast, Nick reflected on the incredible life changes he’s experienced since his marriage to the Bollywood superstar in 2018. His thoughts centered on the joys of family, with a special mention of their daughter, Malti Marie, and how much this new chapter of his life has meant to him.
Nick went on to praise Priyanka’s instincts, sharing that she’s often able to read people’s emotions better than he can. “She’s always right about people before I can see it,” he said, admitting that he often realizes later that she was spot on. Their partnership, built on trust, respect, and a shared ability to handle life’s pressures, continues to be a source of strength for both.
The conversation took an emotional turn when Nick spoke about the premature birth of their daughter, Malti Marie. Born at just 1 pound, 11 ounces, under intense circumstances, Malti spent over three months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and needed six blood transfusions. “She came into the world under very intense circumstances,” Nick recalled, revealing that what was supposed to be an April birth became an emergency early delivery. The couple had to split their time into 12-hour hospital shifts during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting their daughter and each other.
Despite the emotional strain, Nick shared that Malti’s fight from day one left a lasting impact on him. “She fought every day,” he said, expressing immense gratitude for her resilience. As Nick reflects on these challenging yet rewarding experiences, he feels that every day with his family, especially with Malti, is a gift – a gift that began with his marriage to Priyanka Chopra, a union he wouldn’t change for anything.
