Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas became parents for the first time first earlier this year. As they announced the new arrival on social media, the couple opened up about their decision to use a surrogate to welcome their daughter, Malti.
Now, seven months on from Malti's birth, it seems that Priyanka and Nick are already looking forward to welcoming more children in the future, and a source close to the couple has revealed their surrogacy plans.
"They’ve always known they wanted more than one because having a big, close family is the most important thing to both of them," an insider told HollywoodLife. "It’s all they’ve ever known, and their siblings are one of the most important parts of their lives so it’s something they definitely want for Malti."
The source continued: "They’re not ready to welcome another just yet but when they do, they’re going to use a surrogate like they did last time. It’s not a matter of if, it’s only a matter of when."
As for when that might be, a second insider claimed that Nick hopes to have children that are "close in age" – just as he is with his brothers. "Nick has talked about this with his brothers and not only does Nick want his children to be close in age, but he also wants his kids to be close in age to his brothers, Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas' kids."
The source went on: "Having cousins is so important to them and they are loving how the bond between their kids is natural."

"Nick, Kevin and Joe want their kids to look at their cousins as siblings," the insider added. "The boys' parents, of course, are pushing all of them to have as many kids as possible. The more bonus Jonases the better."
In January of this year, Nick and Priyanka took to social media to share the exciting (and surprising) news that they had welcomed their first child. In a joint statement shared on both of their Instagram accounts, the new parents said: "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate."
The happy couple continued, "We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much."
The couple join a long list of celebrities who also used a surrogate, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Kardashian.
