The music insider adds that the pair "have been preparing" for a baby for quite some time.
The Sucker singer and the actress were already thinking of growing their family when they purchased their Encino, Calif. mansion together in 2019, according to a real estate source, who says the couple spent months renovating the residence to make it more family-friendly.
Jonas and Chopra's newborn joins a trio of cousins to play with, including Kevin Jonas' daughters Valentina Angelina, 5, and Alena Rose, 7, plus Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's baby girl Willa, 1, whom they welcomed on July 22, 2020.
