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. Related: Joanna Gains Opens up About 'Tension' at Home Ahead of Major Milestone for Her Daughter 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. Up Next:

Lesbian soccer stars Kristie Mewis and Sam Kerr are officially moms & share first family photo
The queer soccer fam just got a little bigger as star players Kristie Mewis and Sam Kerr just announced the birth of their baby! Last November, Mewis, a U.S. Women's National Soccer Team midfielder, and Kerr, Chelsea striker and Australian national team captain, told the world they were expecting a baby in 2025. Now, the baby has finally arrived, and the happy couple announced the news on social media. The two love birds posted an adorable selfie on Instagram with the caption, 'Our little man is here,' showing off the new addition to their family: baby boy Jagger Mewis-Kerr. See on Instagram Fellow soccer players Mary Fowler, Caitlin Foord and Katie McCabe all took to the comments to congratulate the pair. To announce they were pregnant last year, Mewis and Kerr posted a series of photos on Instagram that included them holding an ultrasound and Kerr pointing to Mewis' belly. "Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!" Kerr wrote on Instagram at the time.

USA v Australia: SheBelieves Cup women's football international
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature — U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) February 23, 2025 Getting in behind the Japanese defence, Colombian talisman Linda Caicedo gave her side their first goal of the tournament just before halftime. Share Share How long has it been since the USWNT made eleven changes to their side between games? Smooth by Carlos Santana, featuring Rob Thomas was top of the Billboard charts the last time it happened, while The Talented Mr. Ripley had supplanted The Green Mile atop the box office. Share Starting XI: Mandy McGlynn, Emily Sams, Korbin Albert, Lynn Biyendolo, Alyssa Thompson, Jaedyn Shaw, Tierna Davidson (C), Emma Sears, Gisele Thompson, Claire Hutton, Crystal Dunn. Subs: McKeown, Nighswonger, Sentor, Heaps, Yohannes, Sonnet, Coffey, Macario, Cooper, Ryan, Fox USWNT boss Emma Hayes, meanwhile, has gone fully Gary Oldman in Léon the Professional. Who's she rotated? EVERYONE. The English coach has 11 changes made to the starting line-up that downed Colombia last week – just the sixth time in the 758-game history of this side that they've changed all eleven players from one game to the next and the first since January, 2000. As part of the young talent being brought through the American setup, 19-year-old Kansas City Current midfielder Hutton will make her international debut, while teenage Angel City defender Thompson has been tapped to make her first-ever international start. McGlynn will receive her second cap, Sams her third, and, on her 24th birthday, Sears her fourth. In her 66th cap, Davidson will wear the armband for the USWNT for the first time. Share Starting XI: Tegan Micah, Winona Heatley, Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Mary Fowler, Alanna Kennedy, Hayley Raso, Holly McNamara, Ellie Carpenter, Charlotte Grant, Kyra Cooney-Cross Subs: Arnold, Lincoln, Heyman, Hunt, Prior, Murphy, Torpey, Van Egmond, Yallop, Gaelic, Gorry, Freier As flagged by Tom Sermanni, the interim coach flagging that there would be rotation throughout the tournament coming into it and hinting at changes following the drubbing by Japan, the Matildas have made four changes to the XI that lost 4-0 to the Nadeshiko. There increasing momentum behind her to supplant Mackenzie Arnold for the starting goalkeeper role, Micah gets the start between the posts, while Heatley comes in for Clare Hunt, who had a week to forget between her thrashings at the hands of Arsenal in the North London Derby and then Japan, in defence. In an awkward situation where her lack of minutes at club side Tottenham almost means national team staff need to get some minutes into her, Grant comes in for Tameka Yallop -- suggesting that Steph Catley will kick inside and play centrally in a back five. Most exciting, however, is the return of the Mac; Holly McNamara, the best young talent in the A-League Women and arguably right up there with Fowler and Cooney-Cross in the Australian ranks, coming into the starting XI to make her first start since facing Thailand at the 2022 AFC Women's Asia Cup, a gap of 1122 days enforced by two separate ACL injuries. She replaces Gorry in the XI, albeit she's likely to be deployed much higher up the pitch – thriving as a nine with Melbourne City this season. Share Howdy all, Joey Lynch here and welcome to the Guardian's live coverage this morning's SheBelieves Cup clash between the United States and Australia. Today is the second matchday of the annual invitational tournament, with both sides heading to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona off the back of vastly different experiences in their opening fixtures of the tournament last Thursday in Houston, Texas. Powered by goals from Catarina Macario and Ally Sentnor, the USWNT downed Colombia 2-0 in their first game, extending the unbeaten run they have built across the past 12 months to 21 games. The Australians, in contrast, were smashed by Japan in the preceding fixture, outplayed in every pretty much every facet of the game as they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat. Kick-off time under the roof in Glendale is at 3pm local/5pm ET/9am AEDT. Share
