Priyanka Chopra Shares Photos of Daughter Malti's Journey from Birth to Present Day: 'Time Flies'

The actress looked back on when her now 2-year-old daughter was born in a sweet post shared on Instagram

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is feeling nostalgic over her daughter Malti Marie.

On Monday, the proud mom, 41, took to Instagram to reflect on her parenthood journey while sharing some adorable photos of her 2-year-old daughter, whom she shares with husband Nick Jonas.

In the first sweet snap, the Quantico actress cuddled Malti while smiling for the camera, while in the second throwback snap, a newborn Malti placed her tiny hand on her mom's face.

"Time really flies. 😇🙏🏽🥹 starting the week right. #mondaymusings #nostalgia," the star captioned the post.

Priyanka and Nick, 31, welcomed Malti, their first baby together, on Jan. 15, 2022. The little one spent her first 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after being delivered a full trimester before her due date.

While speaking about the difficult time in British Vogue's February 2023 issue, Priyanka admitted, "I didn't know if she would make it or not."

"I was in the OR [operating room] when she came out. She was so small, smaller than my hand," she shared at the time. "I saw what the intensive-care nurses do. They do God's work. Nick and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don't know how they even found what they needed [in her tiny body] to intubate her."

The couple made daily visits to the NICU, first at Rady Children's Hospital in La Jolla, California, and later at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, for the first few months. "We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband's chest," she continued.

Malti was released from the hospital just in time for Priyanka's first Mother's Day in May 2022, and Jonas marked the special occasion with an emotional Instagram post.

"On this Mother's Day we can't help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we've been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced," his caption read in part. "After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family's journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is."

Earlier this month, Priyanka shared an insight into her little girl's personality as she posted a shot of her giggling in a ball pit on Instagram.

"R u kidding me?! 🥹😍 @maltimarie is such a champ. She surprises me everyday [sic]. Fearless and spontaneous. Grateful and curious," she wrote of her daughter, explaining that the picture was taken after Malti had "climbed up this slide all by herself and launched herself off on her TUMMY, down the slide landing into the ball pit in a fit of laughter and unbridled joy."
