Mystery no more! Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas’ daughter’s name has been revealed three months after she was born via surrogate.
The couple’s little one has been identified as Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, according to her birth certificate obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, April 20.
The document states that Malti was born just after 8 p.m. on January 15 in San Diego, California. The reasoning behind her name has yet to be revealed, but the moniker traditionally means a small fragrant flower or moonlight, according to multiple baby name sites. It is often used within the Hindi language and Indian cultures.
Jonas, 29, and Chopra Jonas, 39, previously announced on January 21 that they are now parents after keeping their family plans under wraps. “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram statement at the time. “We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much.”
The duo, who wed in December 2018 in India, hope to have “at least two children,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, noting that “friends [were] excited” for the new parents.
The Quantico alum and the Jonas Brothers member spoke about their plans to start a family ahead of their daughter’s arrival, with Chopra Jonas telling The Sunday Times in January 2021 that they wanted “as many [kids] as possible.”
The following month, the “Jealous” singer told Extra, “We’d be blessed with any child, son or daughter or anything. Just knocking [on] wood that it happens. … I’m sure her mother will want to weigh in [on names], and my family would want to weigh in too.”
