She wasn’t joking after all! Almost two months before Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas announced that they had welcomed their first child via surrogacy, the Bollywood beauty actually hinted that they were “expecting” as part of her routine during the Jonas Brothers Family Roast.

During the one-hour Netflix comedy special, which premiered Nov. 23, the 29-year-old musician’s wife poked fun at the couple’s age gap, Instagram popularity and swirling pregnancy rumors.

“We are the only couple who doesn’t have kids yet,” Priyanka, 38, remarked on stage. “Which is why I’m excited to make this announcement…Sorry babe…”

After a long pause, she jokingly clarifed, “Nick and I are expecting…To get drunk tonight and sleep in tomorrow.”

While the audience roared with laughter, a close-up shot captured the “Sucker” singer’s shocked face as he raised an eyebrow and leaned forward for the punchline. Priyanka and Nick, who celebrated their third wedding anniversary last December, made the announcement that the two had indeed become parents in identical Instagram posts on Jan. 21.

“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” they wrote on their respective accounts. “We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family.”

They did not share the baby’s name or sex. Over the years, the happy couple, who first met at the 2017 Met Gala, have expressed that they were looking forward to expanding their family. In fact, last January, Priyanka opened up to E!’s Daily Pop about the couple’s dream to have kids in the future, jokingly adding that she wanted as many children as it takes for “a cricket team.”

“Family is a big part of my life,” she exclusively told E! News. “It’s always been a part of my dreams.”

Fast-forward to this January, when the Quantico actress told Vanity Fair that their plan was still just as big, telling the outlet that “by God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”
