The surrogate child that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas unexpectedly announced on Instagram months after breakup rumors was born 12 weeks premature.

The Bollywood star and her A-lister husband announced their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 on Instagram, months after split rumours, and saying family will ‘happen when it happens’

The couple are ‘overjoyed’ by the arrival but asked for privacy to ‘focus on family’ with their as-yet-unnamed 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl set for a hospital stay before coming home

Last November speculation was rife that Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and her Disney actor husband Nick Jonas had called it quits. She dropped his name from her Instagram handle and the world went into meltdown.

Fast forward two months and the star couple have confirmed they are first-time parents to a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl via surrogacy. At the time of the break-up rumours, Chopra admitted the reaction to the name change had left her feeling vulnerable and said she had made a conscious decision to keep much of her life private – and it worked!

The couple sure surprised fans with the announcement, and here’s everything you need to know about the biggest Hollywood 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 news of the year so far.

TMZ reported the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on Saturday in a Southern California hospital. The couple were spotted near San Diego at a dog beach the day before the little girl was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.

Daily Mail reported the arrival of the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 is very premature with the surrogate giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 at 27 weeks – 12 weeks ahead of the expected delivery date.

The report stated the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 was due in April and Priyanka had planned her work schedule around the due date but the early arrival changed everything.

The 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 is expected to remain in hospital under the care of doctors until she is healthy enough to go home with the Hollywood couple.

So, why surrogacy?

Gunna Shoots His Shot at WNBA Star Angel Reese – Is She Interested?

Gunna and Angel Reese are big fans of each other’s work, but some folks think their friendship turned into full-fledged flirting yesterday. Gunna and Angel Reese have long been big fans of each other’s work on social media, but now some fans are bringing romance rumors into the mix. This all comes because of the Unrivaled League’s recent game between Rose and Mist, in which the WNBA star played. The rapper and producer Turbo were right there on the sidelines to support her, but a court-side interview made many fans think that maybe there’s something deeper there. When Wunna answered a question about whether or not he could score in Unrivaled’s three-on-three play style, he had the following to say to Chief Growth Officer Chloe Pavlech: “If Angel Reese is on my team, yeah.” While this could just be a friendly and praiseful comment – after all, Turbo agreed – you already know how the Internet gets with male-female celebrity friendships. Gunna and Angel Reese were bound to inspire these rumors at some point, regardless of their actual bond. She attended his Chicago concert in May and praised his 2023 album a Gift & a Curse, whereas he reacted to her using “HIM ALL ALONG” for an Instagram highlight clip with the following comment: “HER ALL ALONG.” Gunna & Angel Reese’s Recent Moves As you can see, there are plenty of reasons as to why people are linking Gunna and Angel Reese romantically. But until either one of them addresses these rumors, we don’t find it prudent to speculate. Elsewhere, the One Of Wun hitmaker recently pledged to better himself through physical activity, although it’s not basketball. He revealed in a conversation with Spotify that he will run his first marathon. We don’t exactly know the context around this or why exactly it’s going down, but even if it’s simply for health and fitness promotion, we’re not complaining. Meanwhile, Angel Reese is still drawing headlines for everything from locker room shenanigans with teammates to her increasing celebrity status. A relationship with Gunna would certainly play well for the gossip, but again, maybe we’re all just reading far too deeply into this. In any case, the two clearly admire each other, and hopefully this speculation doesn’t diminish that if that’s not where they’re going.

Rubi Rose Sparks New Fire in the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar Debate – Who’s Really the GOAT?

Rubi Rose is team Drake, and as to be expected, social media is gearing up for another round of heated debates over who’s the best. “Remember when [people] tried to say, ‘Kendrick over Drake’? LOL, WTF,” Rubi Rose tweeted on Friday (Feb. 28) night. She didn’t offer much context, but it’s worth noting that Drake is fresh off _$ome $exy $ongs 4 U_, his joint project with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which has definitely helped win back a good chunk of public support. Unsurprisingly, plenty of people agreed with her take. “That debate was wild, but numbers don’t lie. Drake runs the charts,” one user commented under Rose’s post. Another added, “If I had to only listen to one artist for the rest of my life and no one else but that artist, I’m picking Drake over Kendrick so easily.” Kendrick Lamar Fans Fire Back At Rubi Rose Naturally, Kendrick Lamar fans also had a lot to say. “Remember when you thought Drake shouted you out,” someone shared, referencing “7am On Bridle Path” from 2021’s _Certified Lover Boy_. Humorously, Rose once thought the record’s “See the watch collection and assume I got time / ‘Cause of the ruby rose two-tone” line was a double entendre about her. “Drake stans [are] still trying to wipe that L away, huh?” a separate comment read. By now, the backstory barely needs explaining. Fans have been locked in a nonstop debate over who’s better ever since their 2024 beef. While Not Like Us sealed Lamar’s victory lap, “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” were arguably two of Drake’s stronger tracks to come out of the feud. Rubi Rose Almost Collaborated With Kendrick Lamar At One Point Interestingly, Rose has met Lamar once before with the help of the Compton emcee’s cousin and “family ties” collaborator, Baby Keem. During a conversation with BET, the _For The Streets_ artist spoke about her encounter with the 22-time Grammy Award winner. “We just met and talked. We were going to work in some way. It didn’t end up happening, but we still met up and talked. He just gave me advice as a young person starting off in this [industry],” she detailed. “He was literally just telling me how good my music is and what my potential can be, and how I have to believe in myself.”
