Priyanka Chopra shares a rare thought on motherhood as she posts photos of baby Malti

Priyanka Chopra has opened up about what it's like to be a mother, sharing a series of sweet photos of her seven-month-old daughter, Malti.

To recap, earlier this year, Priyanka became a mother for the first time. The 40-year-old welcomed Malti via surrogate – joining a long list of celebrities who also used a surrogate, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Kardashian – with her husband, Nick Jonas.

Now, the actor has shared a rare thought on what parenthood as been like so far, telling her 81.3 million Instagram followers that she's experienced a: "Love like no other."

The sweet caption was shared alongside a series of snaps, the first of which shows Priyanka cuddling up with her daughter. "The best!" one fan responded in agreement, as another put: "Aaww." Supermodel Naomi Campbell, who also recently became a mum for the first time, left a love-heart emoji in the comments section.

Just last month, it was revealed that Priyanka and Nick have plans to expand their family. "They’ve always known they wanted more than one because having a big, close family is the most important thing to both of them," an insider told HollywoodLife. "It’s all they’ve ever known, and their siblings are one of the most important parts of their lives so it’s something they definitely want for Malti."

The source continued: "They’re not ready to welcome another just yet but when they do, they’re going to use a surrogate like they did last time. It’s not a matter of if, it’s only a matter of when."

As for when that might be, a second insider claimed that Nick hopes to have children that are "close in age" – just as he is with his brothers. "Nick has talked about this with his brothers and not only does Nick want his children to be close in age, but he also wants his kids to be close in age to his brothers, Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas' kids."

The source went on: "Having cousins is so important to them and they are loving how the bond between their kids is natural."

"Nick, Kevin and Joe want their kids to look at their cousins as siblings," the insider added. "The boys' parents, of course, are pushing all of them to have as many kids as possible. The more bonus Jonases the better."
