Actress Priyanka Chopra had frozen her eggs in her 30s before meeting husband Nick Jonas.
Priyanka recently appeared on the podcast Armchair Expert.
She said that before she met Nick, she “hadn’t even met anyone that I wanted to have children with”. She said that her mother, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, then recommended that she freeze her eggs. At the time, she was 35 years old and felt anxious and pressured because she wanted to have children.

Priyanka, now 40, revealed that when she met Nick, she was hesitant to date him because of the 10-year age difference. ‘I always wanted to have children. That was one of the main reasons I didn’t want to date Nick at the time.””At the time I was like, ‘I don’t know if he’s 25 and wants kids’. But I always wanted kids. I love children,” she continued.
Priyanka further revealed that when she decided to freeze her eggs, she considered her career as well as her relationship with someone else. ‘I felt free. （I did it [egg freezing] in my thirties, so I was able to continue on the path I wanted to achieve’.
She also acknowledged how expensive egg freezing can be, but urged anyone who wants to have children one day to save up for it, and said she tells ‘everyone’ to freeze their eggs. ‘It becomes very difficult to get pregnant after the age of 35 and stay pregnant to term. Especially for women who have worked all their lives,’ she added.
However, they also mentioned that healthcare has made more fertility treatment options available in recent years and that ‘science is now in a very wonderful place’.
Priyanka and Nick married in 2018 and welcomed their first child via a surrogate mother in January 2022.
