The actress and the artist share the news from their networks and ask for privacy during this new process.
Actress Priyanka Chopra and artist Nick Jonas have announced that they have become surrogate parents. “We are delighted to confirm that we have had a baby through surrogacy. We respectfully request privacy during this very special time in which we will be focusing on our family. Thank you very much ”, the interpreter has written on her Instagram profile, the same text that Jonas also shared on her personal account. Although neither of them has revealed the gender of the baby.
The announcement has been made public a week after the 39-year-old actress, in promotion of her participation in the film Matrix Resurrections, stated in an interview with Vanity Fair her desire to have children with the singer: "It's something I definitely want to do and I hope that when God wants it, at the right and opportune moment, it happens," he said then.
After going through Bollywood and starring in the Quantico series, Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas, one of the brothers and members of the Jonas Brothers musical band, in a three-day wedding following the Catholic and Hindu rites, after three months of the relationship. Last November the couple had to deny alleged crisis rumors because Chopra removed her husband's last name from her Instagram alias (until then @priyankachoprajonas and now it's @priyankachopra). The decision was motivated by the desire to separate their professional lives – media exposure on networks – from their personal lives.
The couple is not the only one in the universe of celebrities who have paid for a surrogate, an increasingly widespread practice among public figures. Cristiano Ronaldo's twins, Eva and Mateo, were the fruit of a surrogate mother in the US. Kim Kardashian, the reality star and global influencer paid $45,000 (about 39,000 euros) to a surrogate mother to gestate her third child with Kanye West, Chicago West (the agency in charge would pocket $70,000 more). The contract that he signed with the woman, as revealed by the Magazine, implied, in addition to not consuming alcohol or drugs during the months that the pregnancy lasted, other activities such as dyeing his hair, riding the subway, eating raw fish, or touching cat litter. With his hands.
It also happens in Spain: the interpreter Javier Camara is the father of twins prior agreement by this contract in 2017, the also twins Tadeo and Diego de Miguel Bose were born by surrogacy, as well as the son of the designer Nacho Aguayo or of the singer Miguel Poveda. The actor Roberto Enríquez, known for the productions Isabel or Hispania, traveled to Delhi (where this process is cheaper than in the US), where his children Martina and Manuel were born. The businessman Kike Sarasola, one of the staunch defenders of reproductive policies through surrogacy, resorted to this technique on two occasions together with her husband, Carlos Marrero, to be the parents of a boy and a girl.
