“Watching you with our daughter fills my heart with gratitude.”

Priyanka Chopra is showing her appreciation for Nick Jonas on Father’s Day.

On Sunday, the Citadel star posted a new photo of Jonas and their two-year-old daughter, Malti Marie, to her Instagram Story. In the sweet snap, Jonas sits next to Malti, who is strapped into a green car seat, on a luxury bus. As he stares out the window, he nonchalantly holds a milk bottle to Malti’s mouth.

“Watching you with our daughter fills my heart with gratitude,” Chopra captioned the picture. “You’re an amazing dad and husband. @nickjonas ❤️ #HappyFathersDay.”

Chopra and Jonas, who married in 2018, welcomed Malti via surrogacy in January 2022. Since then, the two stars have candidly spoken about the transformative effect of parenthood.

“She’s got me wrapped around her finger. I don’t even know how I’ll ever discipline her because I just don’t have it in me,” Chopra said in an interview with Elle last year.

The actor also opened up about the health issues that had Malti undergoing treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit for more than 100 days after she was born. “I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything and I just want to see her happy,” Chopra said. “I want her to be the happiest. She’s a super smiley, happy baby, and that’s all my goal is—to see her joyous. Every time she smiles, it lights up my world, and that’s all I want to do.”

In a 2022 interview with Variety, Jonas talked about how Malti has shaped his worldview. “The weight of everything is much more intense,” the singer said. “I think it’s now about trying to be as present as possible and as thoughtful as you can be for your family, but also for other people’s journeys. I’m so grateful for [Malti Marie] and the wonderful perspective of being a parent.”
