Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Daughter Won't Be Following This Family Tradition
There's a lot to be said for kids following in their famous parents footsteps. However, when it comes to Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's daughter, she's straying pretty far from the path trod by her very active parents. That's because Jonas recently revealed that the couple's daughter has no interest in one activity that both of her parents absolutely love.

The former Jonas Brothers singer was chatting with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark when he shared that their 5-year-old daughter Malti has no interest in playing soccer, according to People magazine.
'We tried soccer — did not like that,' he revealed while on the morning show. 'But karate, she's really taken to karate. It's basically they get in their karate outfits and they just say, 'hi-ya,' and they just do that.'
The news comes as a surprise for those who know Jonas and Chopra well, consider the two have a pretty big affinity for the sport themselves.
In case you don't know, Jonas loves playing in charity soccer matches. And Chopra, well she was very vocal about the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team scoring a big W in their fight over equal pay. All of which lead many to believe that little Malti would be a natural when it came to the sport.
But, as seasoned parents everywhere know, kids are born with their own likes and dislikes, no matter how deep their parents' passion for a sport goes. So, it's likely that Malti will continue to carve her own path out for herself when it comes to her extra curriculars. Hopefully her parents continue to support her, no matter how far she strays from their own personal interests.

Diddy's Ex 'Jane' Claims He Forced Her To 'Finish Strong' After Three-Day, Drug-Fuelled Sex Sessions
Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged victim has given more details about some of the sexual encounters she had with the embattled rapper. Testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," the woman claimed that Diddy often pressured her to "finish strong" during their sexual encounters and allegedly gave her Ecstasy to keep her awake during "freak offs" that lasted multiple days. She stated that their relationship lasted from 2021 until his arrest in December. During that time, she not only participated in Diddy's so-called "freak offs" but also regularly cooked for him. In the ongoing trial against Diddy, another alleged victim revealed that he always wanted to maintain high intensity during his infamous "freak offs." Whenever she told him she was tired, she claimed he would respond with, "You're not getting tired on me, are you?" before saying, "Let's finish strong," and giving her Ecstasy to keep her from falling asleep. Sometimes these encounters would last more than 24 hours, with one allegedly going on for as long as three and a half days, according to the victim. They reportedly also involved multiple "rounds," some including Diddy himself and others involving his hired male escorts while he watched, directed them, and m-sturbated. Jane also testified that after the drug-fueled marathon sex sessions ended, she would often go to Diddy's house with him. There, she engaged in domestic activities such as cooking for him, making sure he showered, giving him massages when needed, and turning on his favorite TV show. Previously, Jane told jurors that she met the music mogul in late 2020. At the time, she was on a girls' trip with a friend who was in a relationship with the rapper, per People Magazine. After linking up, the duo reportedly had a first date in January 2021, and months later, Diddy began speaking to her about his wild sexual fantasies. Eventually, she agreed to engage in the rapper's requests and claimed that when she had sex with another man while Diddy watched for the first time, she was "super nervous" during the encounter. According to Jane, she initially felt exhilarated afterward but soon regretted it, as it triggered more similar scenarios, which the rapper allegedly called "hotel nights." In return for participating in these encounters, Combs reportedly paid Jane's $10,000 monthly rent. She claimed he held this over her whenever she refused to take part in the "hotel nights." Many of the encounters Jane described with Diddy shared strong similarities with what the rapper's ex, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, testified to during her time on the stand. Jane claimed that Diddy referred to their encounters as "hotel nights" or "debauchery," while Cassie testified that he called them "freak offs," a now-infamous label for the drug-fueled sexual encounters the rapper is accused of engaging in with his female victims. Jane had also revealed that she and Diddy gave each other nicknames. She called him Ernie while she was Bert, referencing the popular "Sesame Street" characters. Similarly, Diddy had also requested a nickname from Cassie, compelling her to call him "Pop Pop," a name she had previously used only for her grandfather. "He wanted me to have a nickname for him," Cassie said when she took the stand during the early days of the trial, per Page Six. "He asked me what I called my grandfather, and I said I called him Pop Pop." During her testimony, Cassie also claimed that their arguments didn't cause most of the violence Diddy inflicted on her. She alleged that sometimes he hit her simply for having the "wrong" facial expression, and in those moments, he became a "different person." "I also felt at certain times … I knew it wasn't even about me … [I would] make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face," Cassie said. Additionally, Cassie claimed that she continued to engage in the "freak offs" with Diddy because of her love for him, unlike Jane, whose continued involvement was reportedly due to the rapper's financial control over her. "I was in love and I just wanted to make him happy," said Ventura during her testimony. "It basically entails the hiring of an escort and setting up this experience so that I could perform for Sean." Diddy is facing two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and one count of racketeering. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to all charges and reportedly rejected a plea deal ahead of the trial. If convicted of the sex trafficking charges, he could face a minimum sentence of 15 years. For the transportation to engage in prostitution charges, he faces up to 10 years in prison. As for the racketeering charge, he could face life in prison. However, sources have suggested that the rapper may beat the charge as the actions leading to the racketeering count only reflected that of a "crazed, criminal, jealous boyfriend" acting out.

Nick Jonas to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley in upcoming biopic
Nick Jonas was made for rock 'n' roll, at least onscreen, as he's been tapped to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic about the glam rock band. The 32-year-old pop star will reportedly lead the cast of 'Shout It Out Loud,' a film that's said to follow the rockers' early days in the 1970s, according to Deadline. Sources told the outlet that Jonas will be doing his own singing, but that he'll need time to train in order to replicate Stanley's voice. The film is slated to begin production late this year or early next. 'Shout It Out Loud' is being helmed by McG, the director known for films like 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle,' 'The Babysitter' and most recently, 2024's 'Uglies.' No other casting decisions have been revealed, though McG reportedly has someone unidentified in mind to take on the role of bassist and co-vocalist Gene Simmons. None of the people involved in the project nor any members of the band had publicly remarked on the news as of Thursday afternoon. Though Jonas is most well-known for his part in the music trio the Jonas Brothers — alongside older bros Joe and Kevin — he's certainly made the rounds on stage and screen. He most recently appeared in this year's 'You're Cordially Invited' for Amazon Prime Video, alongside Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. Jonas is currently starring with Adrienne Warren in 'The Last Five Years,' which opened at the Hudson Theatre in April. He previously appeared onstage in the musicals 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' and 'Annie Get Your Gun.'

Dakota Johnson, 35, Turns Heads in See-Through Dress Amid Split Reports
Dakota Johnson, 35, Turns Heads in See-Through Dress Amid Split Reports originally appeared on Parade. Dakota Johnson stepped out in Tribeca on June 5 wearing a sheer dress. The outfit consisted of a strapless leotard underneath sheer fabric that featured a high neckline and long-sleeves. The Fifty Shades of Grey star was photographed leaving her hotel in New York City before heading to tape Late Night With Seth Meyers. This marked the latest stop on Johnson's recent press tour for the new film, Materialists. The outing comes just days after People magazine reported that Johnson and her fiance Chris Martin had split. "It feels final this time," a source told the outlet. Neither Johnson nor the Coldplay singer, who had been dating since 2017, have spoken out about the reports. The two were last photographed together in mid-May. For now, Johnson seems focused on her career — and her newest film. It's really the first time that she's appeared in a rom-com outside of Fifty Shades, which was a bit more... intense. In an interview with the LA Times, Johnson explained that she chose not to take on rom-com rolls because "they're not good." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'I think a lot of what I read these days is void of soul and heart. And Celine is all soul and heart. I really love a rom-com if it feels like I can connect to the people in it. And I think I've found it hard to connect to the people in some of the ones that I've been offered," she said, referring to Materialists director, Celine Song. But Johnson admits she couldn't turn down this particular role. The reason? 'The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the f— they're supposed to do with their hearts. And what's the right move? I found that very honest and I found it just so relatable," she said. Dakota Johnson, 35, Turns Heads in See-Through Dress Amid Split Reports first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
