Despite their requests for privacy, the couple has faced scrutiny regarding their decision to have a child through surrogacy, with detractors questioning Chopra’s age and health.

Chopra, 39, and Jonas, who is 10 years her junior, have been candid about their desire to have children, yet rumors about their ability to conceive have persisted.

As they celebrated their love with a lavish wedding that blended Hindu and Christian traditions, the couple remained undeterred by public opinion. However, their path to parenthood took a different turn when they chose surrogacy, a decision reportedly influenced by their demanding careers rather than any fertility issues. Sources indicate that their busy schedules made traditional pregnancy impractical, prompting them to seek a surrogate to help them realize their dream of parenthood.

Chopra and Jonas have maintained a level of privacy regarding their child’s details, including the 𝓈ℯ𝓍 and name, which some speculate is due to the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’s premature birth. Nevertheless, the couple has expressed their joy in embracing parenthood and their plans to expand their family further.

Critics have often fixated on Chopra’s age, but the couple’s journey underscores that age is merely a number when it comes to love and family. As they navigate the challenges of parenthood, it is clear that Chopra and Jonas prioritize their family’s happiness over public perception, and they are ready to cherish this new chapter in their lives.
