Nick on explaining his condition to Malti
On being asked about how he manages his condition as a father, Nick Jonas said, “There were days early in our daughter being home where a low would hit me right as she needed a bottle or needed my attention for something and it was a very new thing to experience. And thinking through, one day, too, explaining it to her: Why daddy has to take a second, or whatever the thing is, was really not something I’d thought about.” He said normalizing such conversations “feels wonderful”.
Nick on Priyanka being aware of his condition
Nick also revealed that Priyanka Chopra has access to his blood sugar numbers via an app. And when he is out for a concert or on an outing with his brothers, he shares the data with any one of them. He further said that just like he used to alert his brothers when his blood sugar is high, he alerts Priyanka in the same way. “I do the same with her. It just helps avoid unnecessary speed bumps. She’s been an absolutely incredible partner, not just with the management of the disease — she’s fully educated on what to do in any scenario—but also as a parent now,” he said.
Nick and Priyanka will be celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary next month. They had tied the knot on December 1 in 2018 and welcomed Malti via surrogacy last year. Priyanka usually accompanied Nick to his concerts and is often spotted cheering for him from among the audience when she is not away for work.
