Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have welcomed their first child.

Their baby girl arrived 12 weeks early and was born via surrogate at a South California hospital outside LA, Daily Mail reports.

Jonas, 29, and his wife Chopra, 39, shared their happy news with the world on Friday via Instagram, where they posted the same message to both their accounts.

"We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much," they wrote, adding a heart emoji at the end.

The pair tied the knot in 2018 when they celebrated Chopra's Hindu and Jonas' Christian heritage with a lavish double wedding ceremony.

Since then, the couple has spoken often about starting a family. Just this month, Chopra told Vanity Fair that children were definitely on the cards.

"They’re a big part of our desire for the future. By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens" said the Quantico star, adding that they would have to slow down when a baby arrived, and that "we’re both okay with that.”

Congratulations messages have been pouring in for the happy family, with celebrity friends and family members coming out in their droves to wish them well.
