Singer, Nick Jonas and his actress wife, Priyanka Chopra have announced the birth of first child, a baby girl, through surrogacy.
Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman (the gestational carrier) agrees to bear a child for another person or people, who will become the child’s parent(s) after birth.

The baby’s arrival is a major milestone for the couple after years of marriage.
The actress, 39, and Jonas Brothers musician, 29, tied the knot in two glamorous ceremonies at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India, in front of 225 guests.
While the happy couple first wed in Jodhpur, they had two ceremonies over the course of five days — one Hindu and one Christian — to honor each of their cultures, which they blended during each celebration.
When asked about starting a family after their joyous nuptials, Priyanka told PEOPLE they were taking it day by day. “I always say, ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ So I’m not taking any chances,” the actress said.
“We definitely want kids, and when the time is right, it will happen,” she noted.
Priyanka has been open about her excitement for motherhood as back in June 2018, the actress said;
I am a very ‘live in the today,’ maximum ‘live in the next two months’ kind of person. But [in] 10 years, I definitely want to have kids. That is, it’s going to happen in the next 10 years. Well, hopefully, earlier than that. I’m very fond of children and I want to be able to do that.
Nick and Priyanka’s newborn joins a trio of cousins to play with, including Kevin Jonas‘ daughters Valentina Angelina, 5, and Alena Rose, 7, plus Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner‘s baby girl Willa, 1, whom they welcomed on July 22, 2020.
Congratulations to the couple.
