Chopra told Vogue that Jonas reached out to her on Twitter, suggesting they go out on a date .

"I'm hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet," he recalled writing in 2016.

Chopra gave Jonas her number, and the two soon began a texting relationship, which Jonas described to Vogue as "friendly with an eye toward flirtation."

The pair then met in person for the first time in 2017 at the Vanity Fair Oscars party — where Jonas got down on one knee.

"This is in front of a bunch of people," he recalled. "I say, 'You're real. Where have you been all my life?' Like, loud ."

"It was too respectful if you ask me," Chopra told Vogue of the date.

When Priyanka Met Nick: A Love Story

By Abby Aguirre

The first time Nick Jonas met Priyanka Chopra, he got down on one knee.

Jonas tells me the story on a sunny afternoon in Las Vegas, in an expansive suite at the Wynn. He has just flown in to meet Chopra, who has been here a few days for a charity event. The engaged couple haven’t seen each other in weeks—not since a trip to India, where, by the time you read this, they will have wed in a pink sandstone-and-marble palace in Rajasthan .

By some miracle of genetics (or dermatology), Jonas, 26, has the same fresh face that graced the cover of Tiger Beat ten years ago, but his once-wavy hair is now cropped short, and even black long sleeves cannot hide the small mountain ranges that are his biceps. Though their age difference has been a point of obsession in the press (Chopra, at 36, is ten years older), Jonas seems the more senior and serious of the two. He moves around with a quiet, clandestine intention, as though, in addition to ordering room service—two turkey burgers, no buns—he might be looking for his house slippers. (“I call him Old Man Jonas,” Chopra says when I note this.)

Seated primly on the couch in a mustard-and-black floral sheath by Christian Dior and black heels, Chopra is chatty, exuberant—and psychotically pretty. Sophia Loren–in–her–heyday pretty. Take-her-to-a-Dodgers-game-and-you-will-end-up-in-the-owner’s-box pretty. (That happened on their third date.)

Jonas uncorks a bottle of champagne and pours us mimosas. The bended-knee encounter took place at the Vanity Fair Oscars party last year, he explains. Jonas was hanging out at the bar, dressed in a velvet suit, a white rose tucked into his breast pocket. He noticed Chopra breezing through, in a long black sequined Michael Kors Collection dress.

“And I put my drink down,” Jonas tells me, “get on one knee—this is in front of a bunch of people—and I say, ‘You’re real. Where have you been all my life?’ Like, loud .”

Nick and Priyanka were not perfect strangers. They’d been texting each other for months because—well, because this is a 2018 love story. (More on the texting later.) Chopra had a car waiting and a flight to India to catch, but that didn’t stop Jonas from suggesting a drink. “I looked at Anj” (her manager, Anjula Acharia), Chopra says. “And I said, ‘ Five minutes .’ ”

Watch: It’s Priyanka Chopra vs. Nick Jonas in Vogue’s Newlywed Game:

It would be almost a year and a half before Jonas proposed. Naturally, they would spend most of that time not seeing each other. Yes, Ralph Lauren invited them to attend the 2017 Met gala together—not knowing anything about their months-long text flirtation. And yes, they met for a proper drink a week before the Met at the Carlyle hotel in New York. Chopra ended up inviting Jonas to her apartment that evening—even though her mother was home watching Law & Order in her nightgown. (Introductions were made, and Jonas confirms that Chopra’s mother, Madhu, was indeed wearing her nightgown.)

All along there were signs, chemistry, a mysterious familiarity building. Looking back, Chopra can pinpoint the moment she felt a subtle shift. She was on a date in L.A. with Jonas and he said, “I love the way you look at the world. I love the drive you have.” “As a girl, I’ve never had a guy tell me, ‘I like your ambition,’ ” Chopra says. “It’s always been the opposite.”

PRIYANKA CHOPRA IS undoubtedly one of the biggest movie stars in India. She’s acted in more than 50 films, including India’s first superhero franchise, Krrish . She played an autistic runaway in Barfi! , India’s submission to the 2012 Academy Awards. For her portrayal of an exploited model in a 2008 drama about the Indian fashion industry called, simply, Fashion , she won a National Film Award—India’s equivalent of an Oscar.

But movie star doesn’t begin to convey Chopra’s place in Indian culture. Having become famous at the age of seventeen, in 2000, when she was one of three women crowned Miss India, and then doubly famous later the same year when she was crowned Miss World, Chopra is something closer to a head of state, albeit one with a remarkably diverse portfolio.

Her production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, develops movies across India’s regional film industries and in its various languages: Sikkimese, Punjabi, Hindi, English. She has a YouTube series in the works and has become something of a tech investor as well, with a stake in the dating–and–social media app Bumble, which she is helping to bring to India this fall. (“It’s the idea of it that I love for India,” she tells me. “It’s empowering girls to take control of their futures. You want a career? Go online; pursue the person you want to meet. Choose the kind of guy you like.”)

In recent years, Chopra has become well known in America thanks to the FBI drama Quantico —which made her the first Indian-born woman to lead a prime-time network show in the United States. Although Quantico was canceled this year after three seasons, Chopra most definitely was not. Come February she will star opposite Rebel Wilson in the rom-com send-up Isn’t It Romantic .

Chopra, in other words, has done what no Indian superstar before her has managed: cross over into Hollywood. “High-profile people in the industry in India would be like, ‘It’s never happened before. It’s not going to happen. You’re wasting your time,’ ” Acharia says. (By the way, Chopra is the only celebrity managed by Acharia, whose primary occupation is venture capitalist.)

At the news that Chopra was engaged to the youngest Jonas Brother—and when photos surfaced of the couple’s roka engagement ceremony in Mumbai, showing the onetime teen idol in a kurta-pajama—a kind of mania broke out. Partly it was the seeming abruptness. Didn’t they just start dating? Is he old enough to get married?

If anything, the attention in India was more intense. There Jonas has acquired a national nickname, a play on the Hindi word jiju , which means “brother-in-law” or, more precisely, “sister’s husband.” As of this summer, in Indian newspaper headlines and across Indian social media, Jonas is now referred to as “National Jiju .”

Watch Priyanka Chopra Dance to Nick Jonas’s Soulful Song, “Close”

Chopra and Jonas own, by my count, six homes, spanning a distance from Mumbai to Mammoth, California. Two weeks before our lunch in Las Vegas, I meet Chopra at her penthouse in Lower Manhattan, with its wraparound views and its white fluffy rug, over which Diana, her tiny terrier-chihuahua, has free rein.

We’re not here long. Chopra is starving. She alerts her security that we will be walking to a café nearby. We take the elevator downstairs, where a swirl of staff appear and disappear. One security guard remains, hovering within a five-foot radius of Chopra at all times as we make our way uptown on foot. Compared with Mumbai, I remark, where she would be mobbed, New York must feel like a respite. Chopra responds by identifying paparazzi positioned in various spots along our route—“There you go,” she says, “there you go”—their telephoto lenses protruding from behind parked cars.

We get to the café and settle into a table in the back. Soon a waiter delivers what can only be described as wooden slabs of deconstructed avocado toast. As we assemble our respective toasts, Chopra tells me about her childhood.

Both of her parents were doctors in the Indian Army. Her father, Ashok, was a surgeon. (He died of cancer in 2013.) Her mother, who now co-runs Chopra’s film-production company, was a gynecologist. They met at a party in Bareilly, a city in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, and were married ten days later. Madhu jokes about her daughter’s own fast engagement. “She’s like, ‘It’s in your genes,’ ” says Chopra.

When she was twelve, Chopra visited relatives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was amazed that students didn’t wear uniforms. She asked her mother to let her stay in America for high school. “That was my teenage vanity,” Chopra says, laughing. “I was like: I get to be cute? Girls are wearing makeup and their hair down. Land of the free, here I come!”

She spent part of her ninth-grade year in Cedar Rapids, and the rest with relatives in Queens, New York. Tenth grade she spent with extended family in Indianapolis, Indiana; eleventh grade in Newton, Massachusetts. Her favorite city was New York. “Because it was Queens ,” she says. “So diverse, so fun.” She discovered hip-hop. “I had braids. It was a whole thing—puffer jackets, I was in love with Tupac. I wore black for 20 days when he was killed.”

She was less crazy about Newton, where she was subjected to racist taunts at school. (“Go back on the elephant you came on,” she remembers. And “Oh, my God, do you smell the curry?”) “It really marked the way I felt and my self-esteem.” Chopra decided she’d had enough of the U.S. “I wanted to go back to the uniform.”

Madhu barely recognized her daughter at the airport. “I sent her there a lanky, carefree tomboy, and what came back was a gorgeous female,” Madhu tells me later. “From a chrysalis to a butterfly.” The attention from boys would be so intense that Chopra’s father installed iron bars on the windows of the family home. “The house looked like a fortress,” Madhu remembers. (“A jail ,” Chopra says.)

One day, Chopra’s brother Siddharth was paging through one of his mother’s magazines when he happened upon an advertisement for the Miss India contest. “This little fellow, my son, all of nine years old, came into my room,” Madhu remembers. “He said, ‘Is Didi beautiful?’ I said, ‘I think so.’ He said, ‘Is she five-eight? I said yes. ‘Is she seventeen?’ I said yes. ‘OK, then why don’t you fill this out?’ ” (Later, when I reach Siddharth, who is now a chef in Mumbai, he tells me that Chopra had taken over his bedroom. The Miss India idea was his plot to reclaim it. “I thought, I’ll get my room back.”)

Chopra was studying to become an engineer—but she begged to go to the preliminary Miss India competition in Delhi. “I remember the doors of this hotel opening, and these tall, lissome, gorgeous women walking out—in my head, in slow motion—and big tears started rolling down my face,” Chopra says. “My mom said, ‘Don’t worry about how you look. Speak so that they listen to you. Have something to say.’ ” She won.

She won the Miss World competition in London, too—at which point the film offers started pouring in. Chopra learned acting on set, by doing. “Life prepared me for it,” she says. “All the moving around. I knew what cultural differences were. I knew that differences don’t make us different. Differences make us interesting.”

Chopra was ten years into her movie career when, in 2010, she was contacted by Acharia, who was riding a wave of success of her own and had found a business partner in music executive Jimmy Iovine. The two were looking for an Indian artist who could break into the American market. By chance, Acharia had seen Chopra in a spoof hip-hop video a few years earlier. Chopra agreed to a meeting.

Her first single, “In My City,” made with will.i.am, was released as the official theme song for the NFL’s 2013 Thursday Night Football season. The reaction was hostile. Social media erupted with a flood of racist comments (“Who is this Arab terrorist?” and “She’s not American. This is an American sport”). “It took me back to being that sixteen-year-old girl again,” says Chopra. She pauses. “I remember talking to my manager and saying, ‘It will always be like this.’ ”

So when, the following year, the ABC casting executive Keli Lee flew to Mumbai to persuade Chopra to meet with her about Quantico , Chopra was hesitant. “The only thing I told her was: I don’t want my ethnicity to lead the part that I play,” Chopra says. “I want to have a job. I want to have a plot. I want to have a story.” The night the show premiered, Chopra calmed her nerves the way she often does: She sat by the pool of her Los Angeles hotel in a bikini, with a Bellini in hand. “Bikini Bellinis make me calm,” she says. “It’s my happy place.” Quantico blew up and was ultimately broadcast in 64 countries during its first season.

Never, during all that time, had Chopra allowed herself to be photographed with a boyfriend. “I’ve had that rule my whole life,” she says. “Never publicly acknowledge a relationship. Ever.” But when I bring up Jonas, Chopra covers her face with her hands. She visibly melts . “What is happening? I’ve not known myself like this,” she says. “This guy turned me into such a girl! If I could blush, I’d be tomato red right now.”

Cut back to Vegas, where Chopra and Jonas have now unearthed and reviewed the electronic record of their courtship.

“It was Nick who sent the first message,” Chopra says.

Jonas confirms this, deadpan. He’d sent a text to Graham Rogers, Chopra’s costar on Quantico : “ ‘Priyanka. Is. Wow.’ ” Jonas lets the words hang. “That’s not the way I talk.”

Next was a direct message from Jonas to Chopra on Twitter: “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.” I ask for the date. “September 8, 2016,” Jonas says. “We checked this morning.” He goes on: “She responded day of with a message that said, ‘My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.’ ” (Here Chopra erupts, like she’s cheering at the Super Bowl: “Boy got the number !”)

They text back and forth, an epic correspondence—“friendly with an eye toward flirtation,” Jonas says. Then came the Oscars drink. Then the Carlyle and Chopra’s apartment. “We hung out for a couple of hours,” Chopra says. “He patted my back before he left.”

“There was no kiss. There was nothing,” Jonas confirms.

“There was a back pat ,” Chopra says, with a look of pure incredulity on her face.

“She’s still upset about that.”

Chopra demonstrates the platonic pat on Jonas’s back.

“Your mom was in the house!” Jonas says. “I thought it was a respectful first night.”

“It was too respectful if you ask me.”

They had an incredible time at the Met and the after-­parties. Later, I call Nick’s brother Joe Jonas, who was also there with his fiancée, the actor Sophie Turner. “I think she kind of knocked him off his feet. He was just this little puppy dog,” Joe tells me. Joe still has a photo he took of Nick at the end of the night, at the Carlyle: “He’s sitting on the floor. And Sophie and I were just laughing at him. We’re like, Look at this little smitten, drunk kid right now.”

Priyanka Chopra on Her Intricate Beaded Headpiece at the 2018 Met Gala:

Jonas and Chopra didn’t see each other for an entire year after that. Not until the next Met gala, in fact, where, oddly, they ran into each other on the red carpet. This, apparently, was the pivotal point when timing began to work in their favor. In Los Angeles later that month, Jonas invited Chopra to a live performance of Beauty and the Beast . They met at the Chateau Marmont. Jonas: “She walks into the Chateau, and I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and understanding about this next chapter of my life.” The next night, they went to the Dodgers game. The following morning, Jonas called his mother and informed her that he was going to marry Chopra. “This is date three,” Chopra says.

Jonas proposed in Crete. As far as Chopra knew, it was to be a birthday trip. Jonas waited until after midnight, so that future engagement anniversaries would not coincide with her birthday celebrations. He had the ring with him, having shut down a Tiffany & Co. in London to pick it out with his brothers a few weeks earlier.

“I got down on one knee, again, and I said: Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?” Jonas says. “No joke—she took about 45 seconds. Forty-five seconds of silence.” (Chopra says she was speechless.) Jonas pressed on. “I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections.”

The roka took place in August. “It was such an incredible coming-together of two really ancient cultures and religions,” Chopra says. Jonas’s father, a pastor, said a prayer. A Hindu priest led blessings. “Nick did the Hindu prayers,” Chopra says. “The prayers are in Sanskrit. Even I can’t say them. But he did it in Sanskrit. The Indians were so impressed with their National Jiju .”

Chopra and Jonas are drawing up long-term plans. They will still do what they’ve done thus far, we can assume, but philanthropy will become an even bigger focus. We can also assume they will have children, possibly several. “My ultimate dream is to have kids,” Chopra has said in the past. “As many as I can.”

First, Jonas and Chopra will marry. They will have two ceremonies—a traditional Indian wedding and a Christian service officiated by Jonas’s father—each held in different spots at the palace in Rajasthan.

The three-day extravaganza promises to be over the top. “People will need vacations after this wedding,” Chopra says. It will be, in tone, not unlike Jonas’s description of the roka : “Two very different cultures and religious backgrounds, and the beauty of it was, there was so much love and acceptance for our side.” “Nick’s mother thinks she was Indian in a past life,” Chopra adds. “She rocks a sari.”

Chopra will wear a custom gown by Ralph Lauren, very likely more than one. Before this, Lauren has made wedding dresses only for his daughter, his daugh- ter-in-law, and his niece. But he personally came to Chopra with sketches. Jonas will dress like royalty, as is customary—turban, sword—and he’ll ride in on a horse.

“Are you comfortable on a horse?” it suddenly occurs to Chopra to ask.

“I am,” Jonas says. “I can’t wait.”

Jonas and Chopra will walk around a fire seven times, once for each of the seven lifetimes they will spend together. Truth be told, Jonas is already of the opinion that they’re on their third lifetime together, possibly even their fourth. Either way, he says, “I’ll take seven more.”

A Complete Timeline of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's Relationship

Priyanka and Nick's love story is nothing short of a modern-day fairytale.

In just four years, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have proven to be the epitome of a Hollywood fairytale couple. With the nudge of a mutual friend and the impact of a steamy music video, featuring a nearly shirtless Jonas, theirs was a love story that blossomed in no time.

In case you forgot how their whirlwind romance came together, here's a little walk down memory lane.

Chopra revealed that she was first attracted to Jonas after seeing the music video for his single, “Close,” featuring Tove Lo, which was released in 2016.

She explained to Harper’s Bazaar , “I decided to date him after seeing the video where his shirt comes off. So that song is my favorite.” Jonas tweeted about the single, which was released a year after his two-year relationship with fashion influencer Olivia Culpo, writing: “The first song you’re gonna hear tomorrow night is about how I literally can’t open up and be vulnerable with someone.”

September 2016

Thanks to mutual friend Graham Rogers, who starred alongside Chopra in Quantico and Jonas in the indie thriller Careful What You Wish For , they started communicating. Jonas made the first move via Twitter direct message, and Chopra got the ball rolling with a series of texts that Jonas defined as “friendly with an eye toward fliration.”

February 2017

It wasn’t until the Vanity Fair Oscar Party when the two finally met. The Jumanji actor recounts his courageously public gesture to Vogue , “I put my drink down, get on one knee and I say, ‘You’re real. Where have you been all my life?’ Like, loud.” A seemingly Hollywood Cinderella story, Chopra, who was set to catch a flight to India that night, told Jonas she had five minutes.

Just a week before making their debut on the Met Gala red carpet, Jonas and Chopra met for drinks at The Carlyle. Chopra invited Jonas to her apartment to meet her mother — a bold move for two people claiming to be “just friends” at the time.

The pair stunned on the red carpet, looking longingly into each other’s eyes, their arms securely placed on each other’s backs. Chopra wore a custom Ralph Lauren trench gown with an exaggerated popped collar and dramatic 20-foot train that draped over the museum staircase. Jonas watched in admiration while donning a Ralph Lauren geometric printed suit.

A few days following the event, Chopra made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! , where she skirted a direct answer to host Jimmy Kimmel’s dating inquiries. Chopra coyly responded , “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren and we decided to go together. It was fun.”

Chopra and Jonas didn’t see each other for a year until their red carpet bump-in at the 2018 Met gala. It appeared that even with a full year apart, the two hadn’t missed a beat. Later that month, Jonas and Chopra attended a live performance of Beauty and the Beast and a Dodgers game the following night. Nick called his mother the next morning, proclaiming that he was going to marry Chopra just after having their third date.

Chopra and Jonas’s relationship status was promptly validated by a handful of flirtatious Instagram comments , captions and posts. Amid dinner date sightings in West Hollywood and hand-holding in Brazil, speculation quickly turned into confirmation. And so the whirlwind of romance began. Chopra met Jonas’ parents at a family wedding, then, shortly after, Jonas met Chopra’s family in India.

On Chopra’s birthday celebration trip in Crete, Greece, Jonas popped the question. “I got down on one knee, again, and I said ‘Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?’” The Voice judge recalls to Vogue , “No joke — she took about 45 seconds. I said ‘I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections.’”

August 2018

A month after their proposal, the couple journeyed to India for an engagement ceremony. “[A roka ceremony symbolizes] confirmation from both sides of the family that they approve of the engagement. We both left that ceremony full of joy,” Jonas shared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon . “We had this beautiful ceremony and we felt so connected and our families all met and it was spiritual, and then we put it on Instagram and we were like, ‘Oh my God, it’s official.’”

October 2018

Prior to his proposal, Jonas shut down the London Tiffany & Co store to shop for his then-soon-to-be-wife’s ring. Chopra then held a Breakfast at Tiffany ’s-themed bridal shower at the Blue Box Café in NYC. The Baywatch actress graced a strapless feathered Marchesa midi dress.

November/December 2018

The Chopra-Jonas three-day wedding took place in India at the luxurious Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. The palace, which stretches across 26 acres of land, is the sixth largest private residence in the world. Festivities began November 30 and concluded on December 2.

“It was just three days. One Indian ceremony and one Western Christian ceremony and one day of pre-rituals which we have in the Hindu wedding,” Chopra told Ellen DeGeneres two months following the couple’s nuptials. “Usually, Indian weddings are like a thousand people, at least. We had only 200, which was mostly family - both of us have giant families. We wanted to keep it super intimate.”

January 2019

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas gave the public a few minutes of insight into their relationship as they played Vogue ’s edition of “The Newlywed Game.”

Shortly after announcing the reunion, The Jonas Brothers, released their hit song, “Sucker.” The three famous brothers joined their leading ladies (Kevin’s wife Danielle Jonas, Nick’s wife Priyanka Chopra, and Joe’s then-fiancé Sophie Turner) in an Anthony Mandler-directed music video.

“I actually didn’t know much about [The Jonas Brothers],” Chopra revealed on Ellen. "Nick and I both didn’t know much about each other, so we did a show-and-tell after we started dating where we showed each other our work from when we were younger — the embarrassing stuff, like the horrible things. It was great. That’s how we got to know each other’s careers.”

The couple attended their first Met together as a married couple. It seemed like just yesterday when the two caused outbursts of excited gasps among audiences as they made their 2017 debut (then, as friends). Embracing the theme of camp, Chopra wore a gray Dior gown, complete with a cape, silver cage bodice and colorful, floor-gazing feathers. Jonas suited up in an all-white look with glittering jeweled accents.

The fashion didn’t end there. The gorgeous couple made several appearances in Cannes, where they flaunted a number of covetable wardrobe ensembles.

December 2019

It was announced that they would be joining forces with Amazon Studios to produce a reality series about couples preparing for a sangeet. Mirroring the Jonas and Chopra's own wedding ceremonies, the project will follow engaged partners rehearsing a song and dance routine for a grand performance prior to tying the knot. Chopra shared on Instagram, “the ceremony celebrates the love and magic that comes from friends and family that join together through music and dance the night before a wedding."

January 2020

Chopra and Jonas strip down to matching white dress shirts and crew socks, paying homage to that notorious Risky Business scene in The Jonas Brothers’ “What a Man Gotta Do” music video.

The Isn’t It Romantic actress opened up about their marriage when she was featured as a guest on an episode of Diane Von Furstenberg’s podcast , InCharge. "We wrote like five things that we love about each other," she told DVF. "And the first thing he said was 'your ambition.' I've never heard a guy say that.”

During the uncertain times of a global pandemic, the pair encouraged fans to follow suit with contribution efforts in the fight against COVID-19. They donated to 10 charities, helping those facing extreme hardship. Chopra held an Instagram Live conversation with World Health Organization’s doctors, in which Jonas made an appearance in full support.

November 2020

For their two year wedding anniversary, Nick Jonas posted a sweet message to celebrate his wife. "Two years married to the most wonderful, inspiring and beautiful woman. Happy anniversary @priyankachopra I love you," he wrote on Instagram.

Priyanka shared her own note with a sweet photo of the couple holding hands. "Happy 2 year anniversary to the love of my life. Always by my side. My strength. My weakness. My all. I love you," she wrote.

On his latest solo album titled Spaceman, Nick wrote a handful of songs that he explained were mostly just "love letters" to Priyanka when talking to Zane Lowe .

"I sort of started writing this record back in July. My wife was over in Germany finishing up this little movie called The Matrix," Jonas shared during an appearance on The Tonight Show. " And I was like, 'You know, I feel very disconnected from the world, first of all, and now my person.' And I just dug in writing ... within a couple of days I was like, 'Oh, this is a solo album.' And a few days later, I was like, 'This is a kind of themed album.'"

January 2022

On Jan. 15, the husband-and-wife duo became first-time parents with the arrival of their baby girl, Malti Marie, via surrogate.

"We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family," the couple wrote on Instagram

"It was kind of an instant thing," the singer told "Entertainment Tonight of his relationship with her. "I knew once we locked in together that I had a partner for life and a teammate, someone I could walk through the good times and the bad times with, and that was the key."

April 11, 2019: Chopra Jonas admitted that she 'judged a book by its cover' when she first started dating Jonas

"I've known him for two years," Chopra Jonas told Tina Brown during an  interview at the Women in the World Summit in New York "I didn't think that this would be what it turned out to be, and that's maybe my fault. I judged a book by its cover."

The "Isn't It Romantic" star said that there was one moment in particular that caused her to change her opinion of him .

Chopra Jonas explained that she and Jonas "were on a date" and hanging out with friends, but she had a meeting to attend. She said she was "dropping hints" to her friends, who insisted that she skip the meeting to stay with them. 

"I was like, 'If someone gives me reason enough to cancel it, I'll cancel it,'" Chopra Jonas said, hoping that Jonas would chime in and also ask her not to leave. 

"He just didn't pick up the hint," she continued. "I said it twice, I said it thrice. Finally, he took me aside and he's like, 'Look, I'm not stupid. I know what you're trying to do, but I will never be the one who will tell you to cancel work because I know how hard you've worked to be where you are. So if you could've canceled it, you would've done it.'"

The actor went on to say that Jonas told her: "I'll take our friends out for dinner, we'll wait for you, and you finish your meeting and come back."

Chopra Jonas said "that was the first time someone has ever done that" and indicated that they respected her work ethic. 

"And who gave me credit for what I've done," she added. "It was just mind-blowing for me."

September 2019: Jonas told Insider that Chopra Jonas was 'the best teammate' during his hectic touring schedule with his siblings

Jonas, who was promoting his partnership with Cigna , told Insider that the biggest difference between being a boyfriend and a husband is that "your life does change in a pretty big way."

"It's about being patient with each other and adapting each day to how quickly things change and evolve," he said. "But thankfully, she's incredibly patient and supportive."

"Our schedule this early on in our marriage was kind of unexpected, the tour extending as long as it has, but she's the best teammate in all that," he added. "The support that I feel from her gives me all the encouragement and strength, in addition to the fans being so amazing, that I need to get up there and do my thing every night."

December 1, 2019: They celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary by posting photos from their nuptials 

Jonas had told Insider that "the wedding itself was quite the blowout, so we will probably be a bit more chill" with their anniversary. 

"My promise. Then..today.. forever. You bring me joy, grace, balance, excitement, passion.. all in the same moment...thank you for finding me..Happy First wedding anniversary Husband.. @nickjonas And Thank you to everyone for the love and good wishes. We feel blessed," Chopra Jonas captioned a post on  Instagram , which included an assortment of photos and videos . 

February 9, 2021: Chopra Jonas shared details about her and Jonas' relationship in her memoir, 'Unfinished'

In one chapter, the actor recalled the first time Jonas visited her home country of India in June 2018, shortly after they started dating. While she was preoccupied with a meeting, Jonas took her mom out to lunch and Chopra Jonas sent security to spy on them .

"Unable to take the suspense any longer, I sent a member of my security team out to take pictures of them at the restaurant they'd gone to — OK, to spy on them — so I could study their body language using my 'Quantico' skills," she said. 

Chopra Jonas also admitted that she Googled the "Close" singer after he slid into her DMs in 2016 because she wasn't too familiar with who he was. 

January 15, 2022: The couple's 1st child, a daughter named Malti Marie, was born via surrogate

The stars shared the news publicly on January 21 with a statement posted on their Instagram   accounts  that read: "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family. Thank you so much [red heart emoji]."

The two stars didn't disclose the baby's name, sex, birthday, or additional details at the time.

However, a birth certificate obtained by TMZ  three months later revealed the child's name and details of her birth (she was born after 8 p.m. on January 15, 2022, at a hospital in San Diego). 

May 8, 2022: Jonas revealed that their newborn was finally home after spending more than 100 days in the NICU

In honor of Mother's Day, the musician posted a photo of the family of three, being careful to conceal their baby's face to protect her privacy.

"On this Mother's Day 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," Jonas captioned the photo. "After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home."

"Every family's journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is," he said. 

He gave a shout-out to the medical professionals who assisted them and shared heartfelt words about Chopra Jonas.

"Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness," he said. "I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother. Happy Mother's Day. I love you."

January 19, 2023: Chopra Jonas opened up about motherhood in a cover story for British Vogue 

The actor said that she and Jonas spent "every single day" in the NICU with their daughter  for three months and "didn't know if she would make it or not."

Chopra Jonas also said she had "medical complications," so surrogacy was "a necessary step, and I'm so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months."

She also said that it was "painful" when people speculated about her and Jonas' reason for choosing surrogacy.

"It's so painful when they talk about my daughter," Chopra Jonas said. "I'm like, 'Keep her out of it.' I know what it felt like to hold her little hands when they were trying to find her veins. So no, she's not going to be gossip."

"You don't know me," she added. "You don't know what I've been through. And just because I don't want to make my medical history, or my daughter's, public doesn't give you the right to make up whatever the reasons were." 

March 2, 2023: The couple announced their latest joint venture, Rob's Backstage Popcorn

Their latest partnership is with Rob's Backstage Popcorn , which was founded by Rob Garbowsky, the father of former Jonas Brothers bassist Greg Garbowsky, who's now part of the band's management team. Jonas serves as a cofounder and Chopra Jonas is a partner and investor. 

In March, the snack brand unveiled a new flavor called Priyanka's Mumbai Nights , developed by Chopra Jonas and inspired by her love for the city where she previously lived for over a decade.

During a virtual pre-launch event attended by Insider, Chopra Jonas revealed that she first tried Rob's Backstage Popcorn while accompanying the Jonas Brothers on their Happiness Begins Tour, which kicked off in 2019.

The "Citadel" star and self-proclaimed snacker said that the collaboration was "so organic" because Garbowsky had already been working on an Indian-inspired flavor at the time.

"It came from Rob's idea and then us eating Indian food and Nick saying, 'We must do that,' and then Rob was like, 'I already worked on this," she said. "It was like the universe sort of conspired for it to happen. I was just a conduit."

Chopra said that the popcorn's name is a nod to the "kick and the heat" of the flavor, which features ingredients like black pepper, turmeric, and cumin. She was also hands-on in the design of the popcorn bag, and wanted it to be "glamorous" with "a slight touch of gold."

The bag's spearmint color was also inspired by their daughter Malti Marie's nursery.

"It's such a calming room," Chopra Jonas said. "It's a special color in my life. I won Miss India in a sari wearing that color. It pops up in really important moments in my life."

During the event, Jonas said that he and Chopra Jonas enjoy working together on things that align with their personal interests .

"When it comes to the things that we've worked on together, whether that's investments or collaborations like this, it really is just about finding things that are an authentic fit in our life," he said.

Their involvement with Rob's Backstage Popcorn was a no-brainer because they "always have popcorn in the house," Jonas said.

"It's less about looking at it as a business model or even working together," he said, explaining that it's a matter of, "How do we take the things that we love and enjoy in our home and in our experiences and share that with people in a different way? Whether it's popcorn or a ski brand, it just has to fit and check those boxes."

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Relationship: A Complete Timeline

By Christopher Rosa

What started out as a whirlwind romance soon morphed into full-fledged love. If you’ll recall, in July 2018, People magazine reported that Jonas Brothers musician Nick Jonas and Quantico actor Priyanka Chopra were engaged after just two months of dating. This was confirmed a few weeks later by the couple, and by December of that year they were married. Five years later, they’re happier than ever.

Let’s look back at their love story, starting with when they brought the fire emoji to life at the 2017 Met Gala:

2016: Though we have no idea at the time, Nick Jonas slides into Pri's DMs. Priyanka Chopra later revealed that at the time, she was in a not-great relationship, but didn't want to give Nick a shot because of their age difference.

“I was in a tumultuous relationship at that time,” Chopra told Dax Shepard . “This is ’16. We had common friends who didn’t want me to be in my relationship and were like, ‘Oh, he’s single too.’ He’s really not with that girl, but he is. It was complicated on both our ends.”

“I was also like 35, Nick was 25,” she continued. “I really put a stop to it in a way because I judged the book by the cover. I said, ‘I wanna settle down. I have been there and done the fun dating things.’ I was, like, ready to get serious.” They continued texting until a week before the 2017 Met Gala red carpet in New York City, where they met IRL for the first time…

May 2017: Chopra and Jonas attend the 2017 Met Gala together as guests of Ralph Lauren and set off a firestorm of rumors. They each played it coy when asked about their relationship in interviews following the event. “Yeah, we were on the same table and we already know each other,” Chopra told Jimmy Kimmel. “So he was like, ‘Hey, you wanna go [to the Met Gala] together?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, okay, let’s go together.’ It ended up working out.” Jonas doubled down on this, telling a radio station , “I’m single. She and I knew each other from before.”

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

May 2018: Fast-forward to one year later—Memorial Day Weekend—and the chatter intensifies again. Us Weekly publishes a report claiming the former Bollywood star and Jonas are seeing each other. “It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other,” a source said.

Chopra and Jonas’s activities over Memorial Day weekend seemed to corroborate this. They went on a total of three dates together: to a Beauty and the Beast Live show at the Hollywood Bowl Friday, a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Saturday, and a boat outing alongside Wilmer Valderrama, Glen Powell, and Chord Overstreet.

Keep in mind during all of this, Chopra and Jonas are consistently favoriting photos they uploaded to Instagram:

Early June 2018: Chopra and Jonas pick up their Instagram flirtation . Jonas comments, “That smile,” with a heart emoji on a photo of Chopra laughing with her friends at In-N-Out Burger. Meanwhile, Chopra keeps liking Jonas’s pics.

June 11: Jonas and Chopra attend a Jonas cousin’s wedding in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Daily Mail has photos of them together at the shindig; they were also photographed at JFK airport in Queens, New York, three days before, presumably en route.

June 22–23: The couple jets off to India together, where Jonas reportedly meets Chopra’s mom. On this trip they also attend the preengagement party of Reakash Ambani and his fiancée, Shloka Mehta, in Mumbai.

Chopra later posts this sweet photo of Jonas on their trip:

July 1: Chopra attends Jonas’s concert at the VillaMix Festival in Brazil. “Him 😍,” she captioned a video of Jonas performing at the show, which she uploaded to Instagram Stories.

July 7: Reports surface that the former Miss World winner and Jonas have matching gold Cartier rings —that look a lot like wedding bands.

July 16: Jonas and Chopra go on a double date with Joe Jonas and his then fiancée (now wife), Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner. Kevin Jonas also attends.

July 17: The couple goes out in London for Chopra’s birthday , reportedly grabbing a bite at Chiltern Firehouse. They both looked chic, as always.

July 27: People reports that Chopra and Jonas are engaged after two months of dating. What’s more, Jonas reportedly shut down an entire Tiffany store just to buy Chopra a ring. That’s very Sweet Home Alabama, am I right? Later, they'll reveal photos from the night they got engaged , which culminated with a romantic seaside dinner.

August 2018: Chopra and Jonas share photos from their engagement party, thus confirming said engagement . On social media, Chopra reveals she’s partnered with Amazon on a wedding registry wish list; in turn, the company makes a $100,000 donation to UNICEF on the Indian actor’s behalf.

December 2018: The couple ties the knot in Jodhpur, India, with two ceremonies : a traditional Hindu one and a Western one. Photos of their two nuptials are shared far and wide across the internet—and they look so, so in love.

January 2019: A honeymoon for the ages.

February 2019: The newlyweds display some playful PDA on the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party red carpet.

July 2019: Pasta-making date night in Italy , anyone? Since Chopra Jonas has called out the fact that her husband can’t cook, this seems like the perfect no-fail family recipe.

September 2019: Nick turns 27, and his wife throws him an epic birthday bash , renting out an entire NFL stadium. “My beautiful wife surprised me with a touch football game with some of my closest friends and family on the one and only Soldier Field in Chicago (!!!) followed by a few hours of Topgolf, and then a party where pizza, tequila, cake, and cigars were involved,” Jonas wrote about the fête. I only have one question: What’s a Topgolf?

November 2019: The pair celebrate their almost-one-year-married anniversary with something slightly better than paper: a puppy! “Pri came home with the absolute best surprise this morning. Please meet our new pup @ginothegerman I haven’t stopped smiling since I woke up this morning and finally realized what was going on. Thank you @priyankachopra ❤️ 🐕,” the singer wrote online.

January 2020: The couple that presents together stays together. That’s what people say in LA, right? The pair co-presented at the Golden Globes . She in a pink off-the-shoulder Cristina Ottaviano gown and a serious diamond necklace; he in tuxedo with a Western twist. On hand to hand out the award for best TV Series, musical or comedy, Chopra Jonas and Jonas did their own version of awards show banter. “Wow, you look amazing tonight, baby,” Jonas said. “I’m so glad we could get out of the house to be at this beautiful party.” To which Chopra Jonas replied, “Yeah, well, nice try, Nick, but this does not count as date night. Clearly.” Jonas conceded the point before they announced the nominees. ( Fleabag won—hooray!)

Also in January, the Jonas Brothers released the music video for their song “What a Man Gotta Do”—featuring each of the brothers’ real live wives as their costars. Priyanka and Nick recreate a scene from Risky Business in their portion of the video.

May 2020: They celebrate the two-year anniversary of their first date by posting a never-before-seen photo of the outing:

July 2020: To celebrate Priyanka’s turning 38, Nick writes her an absolutely epic love letter. “I could stare into your eyes forever,” he wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. “I love you baby. You are the most thoughtful, caring and wonderful person I have ever met. I am so grateful we found one another. Happy birthday beautiful.” Okay, maybe it’s more of a note than a letter, but still!

August 2020: Nick and Priyanka introduce the newest addition to their family—a rescue pup named Panda. “Welcome to the family Panda! Panda is a Husky Australian Shepard mix rescue and we’re already in love,” the singer wrote on Instagram.

“Our new family portrait! Welcome to the family, Panda! We adopted this little rescue (soon he won’t be so little) just a few weeks ago,” Chopra Jonas captioned her post.

October 2020: After months of quarantining with her husband, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is back to work. While filming a movie in Europe, the actor appeared (virtually) on the Today show on October 23. During the interview, she was asked what she learned about her husband while they were stuck at home. 

“That I still like him after spending so much time with him,” the Quantico star responded with a laugh. “He’s great, and we would have never had as much time with each other as we got during this quarantine. It only took a global pandemic for us to align our schedules together. We moved into our new house. We had time to do that together and incubate, which was great.” 

November 2021: The JoBros get roasted on Netflix, and Chopra Jonas drops a pretty solid burn about the couple’s 10-year age difference: “There are many ’90s pop culture references he doesn’t understand, and I have to explain them to him. He teaches me how to use TikTok, for example, and I teach him what a successful acting career looks like.” OUCH.

January 2022: Surprise! The couple welcome a daughter , Malti Marie, via surrogate. Following a stay in the NICU, their baby girl comes home to delighted parents.

Jonas will reflect later , “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is. 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.”

Chopra Jonas remembered, “[Nick] just held me by my shoulders, and I said, ‘Just tell me what to do, because I don’t know what to do. And he’s like, ‘Just get into the car with me.’ And we drove to the hospital.” She revealed in an interview that since that day, Malti Marie has “never been without” at least one of her celeb parents.

October 2022: Baby’s first Diwali . The family of three celebrates this major Hindu holiday together.

January 2023: MM is one! In an interview the pop star revealed that he and his wife threw one-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas a big birthday party in honor of this important milestone. “We had to celebrate,” he said . “She went through a pretty wild journey in the early part of her life, so we had to celebrate in style. She’s one. She’s beautiful. It’s amazing. The best.”

Also in January, Priyanka Chopra Jonas lands a Vogue UK cover —and so does Malti Marie.

May 2023: While promoting Love Again, her first big romantic comedy since 2019’s Isn’t It Romantic , Chopra Jonas reveals that husband Nick Jonas actually has a small cameo in the film.

“I was very excited about the fact that Nick agreed to do this, because the scene was written as you saw it,” the Citadel actor told Entertainment Weekly . “They were going to cast a random actor who would’ve eventually had to lick my face during COVID, which meant that he had to quarantine for 14 days and sit in a hotel room just waiting to lick my face. It was just awful.”

Also in May, Jonas shared a sweet Mother’s Day tribute to Chopra Jonas. “Happy Mother’s Day my love,” he wrote alongside a photo of his wife and baby daughter. “You are an incredible mother. You light up me and MM’s world every day.” Awww.

Priyanka Chopra

Who Is Priyanka Chopra?

Bollywood films.

At the age of 20, Chopra made her debut in the 2002 film Thamizhan and followed it that same year with Jeet: Born to Win . Of her debut, Chopra was clear: “I hated it!” she has said. “I wanted to leave the industry once I did it! I didn't know what I was saying or doing.”

In 2003 she appeared in her first Bollywood film, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy . That same year she appeared in Andaaz , and this kicked off a long string of films, including Plan, Kismat, Asambhav, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Aitrazz — incredibly, all released in 2004. While most of these films underperformed at the box office, Chopra found success with the romantic comedy, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi .

Not content with making five films in a single year, in 2005, Chopra starred in six, including Blackmail, Karam, Yakeen and Barsaat , none of which were box-office performers. She followed these in 2006 with two of the year’s most successful films, Krrish and Don , but she was also in four other films that year that came and went unnoticed. In 2007 Chopra found little success at the box office, and in 2008 she returned with another six more. One of her 2008 films, Fashion , struck a chord with critics, and in 2009 Chopra stretched her abilities playing 12 different roles in What’s Your Raashee?

In 2014 she starred in the title role of Mary Kom , a film based on the real-life story of the female boxing champion. The film was the first Hindi-made movie to premiere on opening night at the Toronto International Film Festival and put Chopra in the global cinema spotlight once more.

Chopra had already appeared in nearly 50 films by 2014, with more recent titles including Agneepath, Barfi! and Gunday .

In 2015 Chopra signed on to the cast of Quantico , an American TV show about FBI recruits. With the role, Chopra became the first Indian woman to star in a leading American TV network drama and marked her most visible crossover to date from Bollywood to Hollywood. The show and Chopra's performance received praise from critics and audiences alike, with the actress claiming a number of People's Choice Awards for her work.

In May 2018 ABC announced that Quantico would not move forward to a fourth season. Its complex storyline and heavily serialized nature was said to be contributors to its ratings decline.

Chopra's international fame allowed her to star in more prominent Indian films, including Bajirao Mastani (2015), which became one of the biggest box-office hits in India. Her portrayal as a general's wife brought her a slew of awards. The following year she produced and made a brief appearance in the Marathi-language dramedy Ventilator , another critical and commercial success.

'Baywatch,' 'Isn't It Romantic?'

In America, Chopra wasn't so lucky when she starred in Seth Gordon's Baywatch (2017), as it was panned by critics, though some admittedly found her character to be one of the highlights of the comedy. She went on to a supporting role in the Rebel Wilson -led rom-com satire Isn't It Romantic? (2019), before returning to Bollywood later that year as co-star of the dramedy The Sky Is Pink .

Personal Life

The actress and singer-actor Nick Jonas went public with their relationship during the summer of 2018. News of their engagement came in late July, with Jonas reportedly popping the question on Chopra's 36th birthday. The pair married in a multiple-day lavish affair beginning on December 1, 2018.

Early Years and Beauty Queen

Priyanka Chopra was born on July 18, 1982, in Jamshedpur, India. Both her parents are doctors, and her father was in the army, so Chopra’s family moved quite a bit as she grew up. She studied at the La Martiniere Girl’s School in Lucknow before relocating to the United States for three years. She started high school in Massachusetts before moving to British Columbia, Canada. From there it was back to India, and Chopra then attended the Army Public School at Bareilly. It was during this period that Chopra’s life would begin to switch gears, as she entered and won the May Queen contest at the Bareilly Club.

Soon another beauty pageant was on her radar: the prestigious Miss India.

"I was studying for my 12th boards, when my mother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest,” Chopra recounted. “When I got the call, I didn't know how to respond! My dad told me to give it a try. And I did…. I didn't think I would win. I just went to take a break.”

But she did win, and although she was enrolled at Jai Hind College in Mumbai, she quickly dropped out of college to explore her more glamorous options. She soon took her Miss India crown to the 2000 Miss World pageant and won that as well, becoming one of five Indian women to take the title. With that win came instant fame, and Chopra soon took the logical next step: the world of film.

Priyanka Chopra on How She & Nick Jonas Made Their Long-Distance Marriage Work During This ‘Tough’ Year Apart

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

“This year has been really tough,” Chopra started. “It was really, really tough to be away from home for an entire year, especially at a time where you can’t travel to see your family. Just the uncertainty of my mom and my brother being in India, my husband being in America, while I was in the U.K., it was just so much uncertainty, and that, to me, was terrifying, of not being able to just get on a flight and travel just in case something went wrong or something happened. But thankfully everyone was okay. And COVID has been really rough on a lot of people, but we’ve been all right. So what I think what it really taught me was a little bit of gratitude but I’ve had rock bottom moments, I know, while I was in the U.K. Even going for a walk seemed so dreary sometimes because all the restaurants would be closed and all the streets were closed. It felt so apocalyptic. And I was just alone at home.”

Chopra added that she and Jonas were able to see each other, but precautions had to be taken. “We didn’t have a dramatic separation but because he was in and out, we had to be really careful,” she said. “He had to quarantine; I had to quarantine whenever we saw each other at that time, and that’s usually not conducive to a production schedule because you don’t really have much time. You have like, two days off. So it was all really tricky but we managed. He flew out a bunch of times; I flew down a couple times. My mom came and stayed with me for almost five months, which was really nice.”

Generally, “we talk all the time,” Chopra said of her husband. “We know each other’s hearts. We prioritize each other in everything that we do. We’ve had individual careers, and we’re both very clear about never interfering in each other’s professional lives because we’re always partners and assets. We’ll have an opinion on each other’s thing; we’ll be each other’s champions, but those decisions are predominately for both of us to take because we’ve built our careers by ourselves for such a long time. But I think at the same time, it’s really important to keep a check on the other person’s heart and how they’re feeling and prioritizing that and I have to say, my husband’s amazing at doing that. Like I said, this year was hard for me being in London. He would just drop everything, come in for even like, a day, just have dinner with me, and then fly back. Stuff like that, you just have to prioritize each other and then everything feels right.”

Chopra said Jonas is the first person she calls. When they’re apart, they do “a little bit of both [texting and talking on the phone ]. I think when you're apart, it’s really important to keep each other posted on what you’re doing, whether the other person is available or not.”

All About Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Fairytale Romance — and Their "Beautiful" Family Life

Former The   Voice  Coach Nick Jonas and actress Priyanka Chopra called their connection "instantaneous" — so much so they were married within months of their first date.

With becoming a teen heartthrob with his brothers, a thriving  career as a solo artist , and even stint as a Coach on The Voice , Nick Jonas has stayed busy — but that hasn’t stopped him from marrying the love of his life and starting a beautiful family.

How to Watch

Watch  The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.  

Jonas just gave his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, an Instagram shoutout for her 41st birthday on July 18, writing, “I love celebrating you. Happy birthday my love.”

How Did Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Meet?

The couple first publicly announced their whirlwind romance in 2018, and also got married later that same year.

“It was kind of an instant thing,” Jonas told Entertainment Tonight . “I knew once we locked in together that I had a partner for life, and a teammate — someone I could walk through the good times and bad times with, and that was the key.”

The two first met in 2016 at Vanity Fair ’s Oscars party, and say their connection was immediate.

“I put my drink down, get on one knee — this is in front of a bunch of people — and I say, ‘You’re real. Where have you been all my life?’ Like, loud,” Jonas told ET.

Chopra was similarly in awe.

“It was such a Prince Charming moment,” she said on The Howard Stern Show, according to ET . “It was like time stopped. And also, he was so hot and I didn’t know him … it was really like a meet-cute from a movie. He just held my hand, and I turned around and he was in a suit and he goes down on his knees, and I think time stopped.”

The two began texting and Jonas asked her on a few dates, but she told ET she initially turned him down because she’d just been through a breakup.

The two met again at the 2017 Met Gala, but it wasn’t until May 2018 that he convinced her to go on a date with him.

“He was smart. He told me, ‘I have a few tickets. I’m going with my friends if you would like to come,’” Chopra told ET.  "So, he disarmed me by not having the pressure of just him and I. He had three of his friends. I brought a friend of mine. We went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl. It was beautiful.”

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Wedding

The couple announced their engagement in July 2018, with Chopra telling ET, “when you know, you know.”

The wedding itself that December was ultra chic, with two separate ceremonies: a Christian ceremony, and a Hindu ceremony. Chopra stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren gown for the Christian ceremony, with a huge 75-foot-long-tulle veil, according to Entertainment Tonight . That embroidery took 1,826 hours to complete.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals she and husband Nick have recorded songs together — but will we hear them?

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and husband Nick Jonas have many things in common, including their love of music.

During a recent appearance on Andy Cohen’s Sirius XM show “ Radio Andy ,” Chopra Jonas revealed that she has collaborated with the Jonas Brothers singer for a few late night jam sessions. 

Her musical abilities aren’t a new discovery. The 40-year-old actor told host Andy Cohen that she originally tried to become a singer when she moved to the United States. 

“Embarrassingly, so I’m gonna admit it, but I had a pop career for two seconds,” she said. “I have like four singles out there and that pop career brought me to America and I quickly realized that I should go back to my day job and started looking for acting work here and kind of brought me to the States.”

Cohen immediately suggested Chopra Jonas release a song with the “Lovebug” singer. 

“Wow. I mean, I kind of feel like we need a Nick and Priyanka duet,” he said. 

But the “Citadel” star laughed and immediately shut down the idea. 

When Cohen pitched the duet again, adding that it would undoubtedly be a hit, she agreed with him. 

“I think so,” she replied. “We do go into the studio sometimes in the middle of the night and jam.”

She continued, “We’ve just made songs randomly, so it’s out there somewhere on Nick’s phone, but I’m not confident enough to sing with him.”

The “Watch What Happens Live” host said he was eager to hear the couple’s secret, unreleased tracks. 

“You should ask Nick next time you see him because he has it on his phone,” Chopra Jonas said. 

Cohen already had a plan in motion. He announced that he will interview the Jonas Brothers soon. 

“I’m gonna see what we can do,” he said. 

Realizing she revealed too much about her music talents, Chopra Jonas joked, “Oh boy, I gave you ammunition.”

Jonas and his wife, who tied the knot in 2018, lean on each other for playful moments in the recording booth, and more difficult times.

Chopra Jonas, who is TODAY.com’s most recent digital cover star , opened up about relying on Jonas after their daughter, Malti, was born in Jan. 2022 through surrogacy. 

Malti spent her first 110 days hospitalized in the NICU.

The “Quantico” actor told TODAY.com that Jonas, 30, comforted her during those emotional and stressful months. 

“I remember he just held me by my shoulders, and I said, ‘Just tell me what to do, because I don’t know what to do.’ And he’s like, ‘Just get into the car with me,’” she recalled. “And we drove to the hospital. She was born, and from the moment she took her first breath to now, she’s never been without one of us, ever.”

She said the two took turns looking after their newborn and holding her in the NICU. The experience made the new mom realize she “did not have the luxury to be scared or to be weak, because she was scared and weak. And I had to be her strength as her mom.”

Chopra Jonas added, “I needed to make her feel at every given moment that she’s not alone…that we’ve got her.”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas  has admitted she and husband  Nick Jonas  have, in fact, recorded songs together in the studio. And there's only one sure way to hear them -- but be careful, it may be a crime!

The 40-year-old actress made the admission while on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live  and added she's a bit embarrassed to admit that, prior to her career exploding, she had a career, albeit a short one, as a pop singer. That, coupled with the fact that her husband is a pop superstar, meant it was inevitable that they would hit the studio together, and that's exactly what's transpired.

After making such an admission, host Andy Cohen insisted the world was in need of a Nick-Priyanka, but Priyanka was not convinced.

"Oh, no," she said.

But it would be a smash hit, Andy shot back, and Priyanka agreed. But still.

"We do go into the studio sometimes in the middle of the night and jam," the Citadel star continued. "We've just made songs randomly, so it's out there somewhere on Nick's phone, but I'm not confident enough to sing with him."

And anyone who wants to get a listen will have to convince the Jonas Brothers singer.

"You should ask Nick next time you see him," Priyanka said, "because he has it on his phone."

The good news for Andy, the Jonas Brothers are slated to visit his studio next week.

"I'm gonna see what we can do," he quipped, to which Priyanka replied with, "Oh boy, I gave you ammunition."

Priyanka's hesitation to sing with her husband -- and for the world to hear! -- is something she's shied away from in the past. 

Back in July 2022, she put the kibosh on the idea of collaborating with Nick, telling Variety , "I love working with Nick so you’ll see things happen as the years unfold. But I’ll never sing with him."
