Chopra got hitched to singer-actor Nick Jonas in December 2018 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, in both Hindu and Christian ceremonies. Their daughter was born reportedly via surrogacy earlier this year, and the couple shared the good news in May. The baby gets her name from Chopra's and Jonas's mothers, whose names are Madhumalti Chopra and Denise Marie Jonas, respectively.
