Friends and family were quick to send in their well wishes, including Nick's brothers, Joe and Kevin Jonas, as well as Ryan Tedder and Vanessa Bryant.

The couple have previously been open about their plans to have children.

When asked about growing their family in 2021, Jonas shared: "She is the most important piece of the puzzle, and it's obviously something we hope happens, and god willing, it comes together," he said about his wife to E! News.

"It's going to be a beautiful journey, and I hope for many, or whatever that is," he said. "We'll go figure that out when they get there, but for now it's just about making sure we're good."
