New Delhi: Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband Nick Jonas are proud parents to their daughter Malti Marie, who was born in January 2022 through surrogacy. Priyanka later revealed that they opted for surrogacy as she had ‘medical complications.’ 

In a recent interview, she opened up about freezing her egg in her 30s. She shared that she froze her eggs at the suggestion of her mother, Madhu Chopra, an obstetrician-gynaecologist. 

In an interview with Dax Shepherd, she said by freezing her eggs in her thirties she felt a sense of freedom. “I felt such freedom, I did it in my early thirties and I could continue on an ambitious warpath, I wanted to achieve, and I wanted to get to a certain place in my career. Also, I had not met the person I wanted to have children with. So, with that anxiety-inducing, and with my mom who is an ob-gyn (obstetrician-gynaecologist) going, ’36…just do it',” she said in the interview. 

“My mom had said this to me, and I did do it for myself as well. I tell all my younger friends that the biological clock is for real. It gets so much harder to get pregnant after 35 and to carry to term and all of that. Especially with women that have been working all our lives. But science is at such an amazing place right now where if you can afford it, I tell people you save money for a car, do it for this Christmas, this is the best gift you will give yourself because you are taking the power of your biological clock. You can work for till however long, your eggs will be of the same age as when you froze them,” she continued. 

Priyanka also shared that she loved children and that was one of the reasons why she didn’t want to date Nick Jonas initially as she was not sure whether he would like to have kids at 25. 

“I always knew I wanted kids and that was one of the reasons I didn’t want to date Nick because I was like I don’t know if he would want kids at 25. I love kids, I have worked with kids at UNICEF, I have volunteered at kids’ hospitals, I am like a kid whisperer, and I would rather spend time with children than with adults. I love kids, all our parties are kids and dogs friendly, at our house, you can bring them anytime,” she told Dax Shepherd.
