Nick Jonas has opened up about how marrying Priyanka Chopra transformed his life, sharing an emotional reflection during his appearance on the Jay Shetty podcast. When asked what advice he would give his younger self, the singer’s response was simple yet deeply personal: congratulations on marrying Priyanka Chopra. He said the marriage has been one of the most defining moments of his life, shaping not only his personal happiness but also his outlook on relationships, family, and responsibility.
Nick spoke warmly about his bond with Priyanka, praising her emotional intelligence and instinctive understanding of people. According to him, Priyanka often senses situations and personalities long before he does, a quality he admires and has come to trust deeply. Their relationship, he suggested, is built on mutual respect, honesty, and a shared ability to navigate the pressures of public life together.
The conversation grew more emotional as Nick discussed the birth of their daughter, Malti Marie, an experience he rarely speaks about publicly. Born prematurely during the Covid-19 pandemic, Malti arrived under intense circumstances, weighing just 1 pound, 11 ounces. Nick recalled the shock of an early hospital visit that quickly turned into an extended stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, where Malti spent over three months fighting to grow stronger and required multiple blood transfusions.
Nick revealed that he and Priyanka took turns in 12-hour hospital shifts, supporting their daughter and each other during an emotionally exhausting period. He admitted that the experience left a deep mark on him, with memories of the hospital environment still vivid. Despite the fear and uncertainty, he described Malti as resilient from the very beginning, crediting her strength for helping them endure the difficult months.
Looking back now, Nick said fatherhood has changed his perspective entirely, making every day feel like a gift. He believes the strength Malti showed at birth continues to shine through her personality. For Nick, this chapter of life — marriage, parenthood and family — represents a fulfilment he never imagined but deeply cherishes.
