Home is where the heart is.

"We can't help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we've been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced," the couple wrote on Instagram. "After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home."

"We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children's La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let's get it M! Mommy and Daddy love you."
Although the pair has tried to keep their parenthood journey on the private side, both mom and dad wanted to publicly acknowledge each other during the weekend.
"I want to take a minute to say a special Mother's Day wish to my incredible wife @priyankachopra on her first Mother's Day," Nick wrote to Priyanka. "Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness. I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother. I love you."
