BABY GIRL
later reported that the baby was born Saturday in a Southern California hospital.
The outlet reported that they welcomed a baby girl, though a name has not yet been revealed.
The pair were spotted walking hand in hand San Diego at Del Mar Dog Beach just the day before their daughter was born.
SPLIT RUMORS
Nick and Priyanka welcomed the first child together just months after fans wondered if the couple had called it quits.
The speculation began when the Quantico actress deleted Nick's last name from her Instagram profile.
Her bio now reads simply: "Priyanka."
She made a similar move on Twitter as that bio now shows her first name in bold letters and nothing more.
Many fans thought that her changing social media name meant the two had parted ways.
Months earlier, fans expressed their concerns for the pair when they celebrated Valentine's Day separately.
At the time, Priyanka was filming a movie in London whilst her husband was in Los Angeles, filming his final season of The Voice.
SHUTTING DOWN SPECULATION
Following months of split speculation, Priyanka and Nick shut down rumors when they appeared on the Jonas Brothers Family Roast, a comedy special that released on Netflix in November.
They continued to prove their romance was going strong when Nick posted a PDA photo with his wife on Thanksgiving.
In the photo, the duo were cozying up next to each other on a couch.
Priyanka had her arms wrapped around Nick's shoulders and was leaning in to kiss him from behind.
