Priyanka Chopra Admits Daughter Malti 'Gets Away with Anything with Me' After Spending More than 100 Days in the NICU
Malti spent more than 100 days in the NICU
"She comes into my closet, she goes to the magic closet. She'll wear my shoes, walk out. She'll take my bag, walk out," Chopra Jonas shared of her daughterPriyanka Chopra Jonas is treasuring every moment of motherhood.
The actress, 42, appeared on Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie podcast and opened up about raising her daughter, 3-year-old Malti, whom she shares with husband Nick Jonas.
After she was born, Malti spent 110 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which may have something to do with Chopra Jonas' willingness to give her daughter whatever she wants, the actress explained to Kelce.
"She really fought and clawed her way into life. And I have so much admiration for her," Chopra Jonas said. "So she gets away with anything with me, honestly. I'm just like, 'Yes, take it. It's yours.'"
Chopra Jonas added, "She comes into my closet, she goes to the magic closet. She'll wear my shoes, walk out. She'll take my bag, walk out."
The Quantico star has recently been relishing in precious family moments. In May, she and Jonas attended the 2025 Met Gala — a huge night for fashion, of course, but also a larger-than-life prospect for Malti. Chopra Jonas recalled her daughter saying, "Mama and Dada are going to a ball!"
Another night, her family was out for a fancy dinner. Jonas dressed the part and wore a suit; Malti likened her father to a prince and insisted he dance with her in the restaurant. Their father-daughter dance lasted a good ten minutes, Chopra Jonas said of the adorable moment.

But some of her favorite moments with her daughter are simple ones at home, Chopra Jonas added.
"It's my escape. Like, if I'm having a s----- day, that's what I do, I come back home to my daughter and my husband," Chopra Jonas said. "I come back home, especially to her, and I just throw my bag, my shoes, whatever, and just snuggle into her."
She continued, "And everything is okay in the world."

Years After George Clooney Asked Tabloids To Stop Publishing Photos Of His Kids, Amal Clooney Said She Takes Away People's Phones When They Visit Her Home To Maintain That Privacy
It's no secret that George and Amal Clooney are very strict about maintaining the privacy of their kids. Related: Last year, George — who shares 8-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with his wife Amal — opened up about why he doesn't want photographs of his children circulating online. 'I have a goal of trying to protect, I don't want pictures of my kids,' he said in a GQ interview. 'We deal in very serious subject matters, with very serious bad guys, and we don't want to have photos of our kids out there. So we have to work hard at trying to stay private, and it's tricky, as you can imagine.' Related: A few years prior, George penned an open letter to the Daily Mail and other publications requesting that they refrain from publishing photos of his 'children's faces.' He wrote, 'I am a public figure and accept the oftentimes intrusive photos as part of the price to pay for doing my job. Our children have made no such commitment.' Now, Amal has opened up further about the lengths she goes to in order to avoid having her children photographed by anyone — including friends and family, it seems. Related: Speaking with Glamour magazine this week, Amal revealed that she and George often opt to entertain their family and friends at their house — and they make sure to confiscate everyone's phones while doing so. 'Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult. But that's also why we entertain a lot at home. I now have a phone basket that I use to take everyone's phones away!' she shared. 'It's important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange. And I would say becoming a parent means you're more troubled by some of the intrusions,' she continued. Related: 'So we do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children. We don't put our children out there, we've never put their photo out there or anything like that,' Amal added. Interesting! Let me know what you think in the comments.
