Nick Jonas Details Daughter Malti’s Extreme Premature Birth in Emotional Podcast Interview

He offers a rare, clinical recollection of the neonatal crisis following her early January 2022 arrival.

Overview

  • Speaking on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Jonas says Malti was born extremely preterm at 1 lb 11 oz and appeared purple and nearly lifeless.
  • He credits NICU clinicians with resuscitating her at delivery, intubating immediately and stabilizing her condition.
  • She remained in intensive care for about three and a half months, underwent six blood transfusions and went home after more than 100 days.
  • Jonas recalls alternating 12-hour hospital shifts with Priyanka Chopra during the pandemic when only parents could stay with the baby.
  • The couple had announced her birth via gestational surrogacy in January 2022, and he now says she is a healthy four-year-old.
