Priyanka Chopra Jonas Says Daughter Malti Is a “Performer”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is a proud mother to 4-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonaswho she shares with her singer husband Nick Jonas.

For Marie Claire‘s March 2026 Craftsmanship Issue, the actress opens up about her young daughter’s huge character and the way she takes after each of her mother and father in a single key approach: she’s a born performer.

“She’s in the middle of a room just telling her jokes and singing at the top of her voice,” Chopra Jonas tells Lola Ogunnaike. “It’s such a surprise to me that she’s this human being who has a lot of me, my husband, her grandparents, her ascendants, and day-after-day she’s a shock. She’s the best reward of my life. All my priorities have modified. Everything begins and ends together with her.”

Malti had a troublesome begin to life, spending 110 days within the NICU.

“Our daughter was very coveted and very desired because I had a really tough time with pregnancies,” Chopra Jonas tells Marie Claire. “She’s my miracle baby, so everything just stopped when she was born. I think it’s a preemie mom or a NICU mom thing, but I’m still in constant fear. When she’s not right by my side or she’s at school or when I’m in a different country, it’s this feeling that your heart is running outside your body.”

By its nature, Chopra Jonas’ work takes her overseas on a common foundation, however parenthood has taught the celeb to be extra discerning with the roles she chooses to tackle. She will not be pulled away from her husband and daughter if the challenge is not value it.
