Priyanka Chopra posts first photo of daughter Malti Marie’s face on Instagram

After a little over a year of hiding her daughter’s face with emojis and strategic poses, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has debuted Malti Marie’s adorable mug on her Instagram feed. On February 19, Priyanka shared two selfies of herself and her baby girl, who is now 13 months old.

In the first pic, the actor wore a terracotta-coloured leather moto jacket with a white tee and aviators. She wore her hair down, and Malti Marie sat in her lap not looking at the phone camera. Malti Marie wore a matching Fendi set in light pink and a thin white bow on her head. In the second selfie, Chopra holds her daughter and covers her face while lying in bed in a floral patterned robe. In this photo, there is another person’s arm on the top right, which presumably belongs to Malti Marie’s father, Nick Jonas.

“Days like this, ❤️” Chopra captioned the photos, tagging her location as Las Vegas, Nevada. Maybe Malti is already an Adele fan? 

Though this is the first time a photo of Malti Marie’s entire face has appeared on her grid, the actor previously shared a glimpse of her daughter in a video from the Jonas Brother’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. On Valentine’s Day, she shared a shot of Malti Marie’s side profile but made it the second pic in a slideshow. “I’ve been really protective of this chapter of my life with my daughter,” Priyanka Chopra told Vogue in January. “Because it’s not about my life only. It’s hers too.” 

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married in 2018 and welcomed Malti Marie on January 15, 2022, per People. However, the couple later revealed that she spent 100 days in intensive care before they were able to take her home. “On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” Jonas wrote on Instagram in May 2022. “Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is.”
