Nick Jonas shares his feelings on being a father to Malti
Nick Jonas and his wife, Priyanka Chopra, welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie, in January 2022. In a recent interview with People, the global pop star opened up about his journey as a father to a two-year-old. He reflected on the contrast between his stage persona and his role at home, admitting that while he may feel like the coolest person in the spotlight, none of that matters to his daughter, who remains blissfully unaware of his fame. In his words: “The best part about being a dad for me and balancing things like this work stuff, and this is hard work, is that you could feel like your coolest self on top of the world, and she just doesn’t care at all.”
Nick revealed that at her young age, Malti loves playing games inspired by the popular Disney princess Moana and her companion, Maui, with him. Though it may seem like a simple activity, it holds immense meaning for him. The singer confessed that instead of feeling sidelined, he cherishes the fact that, at home, he is simply “dad” to his daughter. Reflecting on fatherhood, Nick shared: “She wants to play Moana and Maui with me, which means more to me than anything else. That time with her is precious, and the fact that I’m just ‘Dad’ when I’m home means a lot.”

Additionally, despite frequently attending their concerts, Malti sweetly mispronounces “Jonas Brothers” as “Donut Brothers.”
