The couple announced the birth of their first child on social media with identical statements. Unconfirmed reports claim that the couple is now proud parents to a baby girl, despite the fact that the couple did not reveal any additional details.
According to a report by Daily Mail, the British daily, there were quotes by a source saying that Chopra and Jonas have been blessed with a baby girl, who was 12 weeks premature: “The baby had been due in April but the surrogate ended up giving birth on Sunday, so she was very premature.”
According to the report, Priyanka and Nick had been wanting a baby for "quite some time" and eventually met with a surrogacy agency in California to discuss their options, where they met their surrogate. "Their busy work schedules also mean that it's difficult for them to physically be together to conceive when she is ovulating, so some time ago they went down the surrogacy route. This is the woman's fifth surrogacy. They met her and really liked her," the source told the publication. A TMZ report also claims, citing similar sources, that Chopra and Jonas' first child is a baby girl.
