He further mentioned, “I think there's a real thing that you'll see. I want you to think about this powerful stuff, family, that aspect. Then, outside of that, when I cry over a movie, it's ‘The Lion King’. You know, things that I'm getting to watch with my daughter these days and kind of read some of those experiences, the stories that shaped who I became, and now I'm sharing that with her. It's a totally special thing to experience”.
As per ‘People’, he said that he also "always" cries during movies on planes. Nick welcomed his daughter with his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in 2022.
On April 8, Jonas shared a photo on Instagram of himself kissing Malti on her head. "Week 1 in Vancouver”, he captioned the adorable shot. Last month, Priyanka, 43, appeared on an episode of Amanda Hirsch's Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, where she also gave an update about raising their daughter.
How The Lion King Connects Generations for Nick Jonas
"As she's growing older, we've started to also kind of just deflect a little bit. She moves around a lot, (so we) let her have as much anonymity as she can. It is her normal, and people will be curious about her, and I never want her to be fearful of that or judgy or skeptical of the humans she meets because there are good people in the world, and I've had wonderful experiences with friends like that. It's okay for her to be aware of it, but to have a sense of choice”, she added.
Looking ahead: Fans can expect Nick Jonas to continue sharing more heartwarming parenting moments as Malti grows up.
