Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed that her three-year-old daughter “insists” on being called Moana. The 42-year-old actress described Malti Marie—whom she shares with husband Nick Jonas—as “such a girly girl” and a big fan of princesses, especially the main character from the 2016 film Moana and its 2024 sequel. In homage to her favourite princess, Malti even introduces herself with this extra name.
Priyanka Chopra reveals her daughter Malti’s obsession with princesses; shares how Malti introduces herself as Moana: “I’m Malti Marie Moana.”
On Good Morning America, Priyanka Chopra said, “She introduces herself as Malti Marie Moana Chopra Jonas. She insists she’s Moana. She insists it’s her name, like officially her name in school. She says, ‘I’m Malti Marie Moana.’”
The Heads of State star shared that her daughter enjoys playing dress-up using Priyanka’s clothes. She said, “She loves coming into my closet, wearing my shoes, seeing my dresses. She was with us when we were getting dressed for the Met Gala, and she put on my gloves and my hat and she said, ‘Mama and Gaga are going to a ball, just like Cinderella.’”
Nick recently shared that Malti isn’t particularly impressed by his fame and prefers when he plays Moana with her. Speaking to People magazine, he said, “She wants to play Moana and Maui with me, and that means more to me than anything else, is that time with her. And just the fact that I’m just Dad when I’m home, it means a lot.”
Nick added, “The best part about being a dad is you could feel like your coolest self on top of the world, and she just doesn’t care at all.”
Until last weekend, the Jonas Brothers singer was performing in The Last Five Years on Broadway and has been enjoying some “quiet family time” with Priyanka and Malti while they’ve been in New York.
He told Extra, “We’re loving just nice walks through Central Park. That quiet family time is such a good reset from being here at the theatre. As you saw when you saw the show, it’s pretty intense at times. The schedule—eight shows a week—is a lot, but it actually allows me to have time with them and be in one place, which you don’t always get when you’re on the road. So, it’s been a nice change of pace.”
