The Journey to Parenthood

In an earlier interview with British Vogue, Priyanka shared the reasons behind their choice of surrogacy. “I had medical complications. This was a necessary step, and I’m so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely, and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months.” Malti Marie was born prematurely and spent a few weeks in the NICU before joining Priyanka and Nick at home.

In summary, Frankie Jonas’s reflections on Malti Marie and Nick’s fatherhood add a heartwarming layer to the Jonas family’s story, highlighting the love and joy that little Malti Marie brings to their lives.
