Nick Jonas speaks for the first time about the difficult and 'terrifying' birth of his daughter Malti Marie: 'She was resuscitated'
Nick Jonas shares the challenging experience surrounding the premature birth of his daughter Malti Marie, revealing the emotional turmoil faced by him and Priyanka Chopra during and after the event.
In a candid discussion during an interview on the Jay Shetty Podcast, singer Nick Jonas opened up about the birth of his daughter Malti Marie, describing it as a difficult and frightening experience. The couple had originally anticipated Malti's arrival in April 2022, but unexpected circumstances led to her premature birth. Despite receiving overwhelming congratulations from their fans, Nick revealed that he and his wife Priyanka Chopra had to manage their own feelings of anxiety and uncertainty during this tumultuous time.
Malti was born prematurely and required immediate medical intervention, being resuscitated shortly after her birth. Her early arrival forced her to spend more than three months in the neonatal intensive care unit, a period that undoubtedly heightened the couple's stress as they navigated the emotional rollercoaster of first-time parenthood under such extraordinary circumstances. This revelation sheds light on the often unseen struggles that new parents can face, particularly when complications arise.
The couple had shared their joy at becoming parents through surrogacy but faced the reality of their daughter's health challenges even while celebrating this major life milestone. Nick's openness about Malti's birth underscores the importance of mental and emotional health for parents, especially when dealing with unexpected health adversities in newborns, and highlights the resilience required during such pivotal moments in their lives.
