Nick Jonas Details Daughter Malti Marie’s Extreme Premature Birth and NICU Fight on Jay Shetty Podcast

On Jay Shetty's podcast, the singer gives his first detailed public account of the neonatal crisis.

Overview

  • Jonas says the baby arrived in January 2022, far earlier than the April due date, weighing about 1 pound 11 ounces (approximately 765 grams).
  • He recounts that medical staff resuscitated and intubated the newborn immediately after delivery.
  • The infant remained in the neonatal intensive care unit for roughly three and a half months and underwent six blood transfusions before discharge.
  • During pandemic restrictions, Jonas and Priyanka Chopra alternated 12‑hour hospital shifts to stay with their daughter.
  • Jonas now describes Malti Marie as a healthy four‑year‑old and says each day with her feels like a gift.
