The couple did not reveal the sex of their newborn, but TMZ reported that the surrogate gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday.

On this occasion, let’s look back at their relationship history –

2016 – The 29-year-old singer slid into Priyanka’s Twitter DMs, with a casual, “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.”

The same day, the 39-year-old actor responded with, “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.”

2017 – The two, however, met for the first time at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar party. After the event in February, the couple hung out a couple of times and ended up attending the Met Gala together later that year.

However, the duo claimed they were “just friends” at the time.

“We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together because it was fun,” Priyanka told Jimmy Kimmel shortly after the event.

2018 – In May 2018, they went on a total of three dates together: to a Beauty and the Beast Live show, an NHL game, and a boat outing.

Dating rumours intensified the following month when Nick brought Priyanka as his plus-one to his cousin’s wedding in New Jersey.

In July, Nick shut down a Tiffany store to buy Priyanka’s $200,000 engagement ring and proposed to her just after her 36th birthday.

Five months later, on December 1, the two tied the knot in two ceremonies at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
