According to a report in the Daily Mail, a source close to the couple revealed that Nick and Priyanka had been wanting to have a baby together for quite some time, however, their schedules had hampered their family planning. The source added that owing to their busy schedule, the couple had explored other options. Nick and Priyanka were connected with a woman in southern California by an agency, and they had believed her to be a good match. The source was quoted as saying:
"Priyanka doesn't have any fertility issues preventing her from having a baby, but she is 39 now so it's not getting any easier. Their busy work schedules also mean that it's difficult for them to physically be together to conceive when she is ovulating, so some time ago they went down the surrogacy route. This is the woman's fifth surrogacy. They met her and really liked her."
In a report published in the US Weekly, it was suggested that the new parents have been blessed with a baby girl. According to the publication, it was also reported that Nick and Priyanka are hoping to have “at least two children” someday. A source had informed that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ daughter was born 12 weeks early at a Southern California hospital outside LA. The report had further added that the baby girl would remain in the hospital till she is healthy enough to return home to Nick and Priyanka. The source had also informed that the couple was expecting their baby in April, and thus, Priyanka had even cleared her work schedule for the same.
