Neither revealed the sex of their newborn, but Page Six has confirmed it’s a baby girl.

Reps for the pair didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

The couple’s exciting announcement came just a week after Chopra, 39, indicated her and Jonas’ desire for children in an interview with Vanity Fair.

“They’re a big part of our desire for the future,” the Quantico actress shared. “By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”

Chopra and Jonas, 29, have been married for three years. They tied the knot in 2018 in an extravagant three-day affair in India.

In March 2020, the Bollywood star said that although she had a “packed” schedule, having a family is “very important” to her.

“It is something that I definitely want to do and I’m hoping that whenever God wills it, at the right, opportune time, it’ll happen,” she told Tatler magazine at the time, expressing a similar sentiment to what she told Vanity Fair.

But despite Chopra’s and Jonas’ hectic lives, the Baywatch star clarified in her new interview, “No, we’re not too busy to practice,” alluding to their steamy sex lives. When asked whether they’d slow down on the professional front, she responded, “I’m OK with that. We’re both OK with that.”
