“Congratulations,” actor Lara Dutta Bhupathi commented, meanwhile, producer Guneet Monga wrote, “Omg. This is so special...big big congratulations. Best news.”

Earlier in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Priyanka Chopra was asked about starting a family with Nick. Then, the actor had said, “You know, you want to make God laugh and tell her your plans and I am not the one who makes those plans, but yes absolutely, whenever it’s the right time, it’s something that we definitely want.”

Priyanka Chopra has also told Vanity Fair magazine, “They (children) are a big part of our desire for the future. By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.” She went on to say that the couple is prepared to slow down once they have a child. “I’m okay with it.” “We’re both okay with it,” she stated.

Priyanka and Nick got married in December 2018 after dating for a while.
