Priyanka Chopra Recalls “Tumultuous” Relationship Before Nick Jonas

As for what went down in between that first DM and their eventual wedding in 2018? Priyanka admitted that she had reservations about getting involved with Nick at first.

“When Nick texted me in like [2016] and slid into my DMs and we started chatting, I was at the end of my last long relationship before Nick. So, I didn’t want to engage as much at that time,” she noted. “I was also like 35. Nick was 25. I really put a stop on it in a way because I judged the book by the cover. I was like, ‘I really wanna settle down. I’ve been there. I’ve done the fun dating thing.'”

After keeping in touch here and there over the next two years, and hanging out together at the 2017 Met Gala, Priyanka and Nick began dating in 2018. That same year, the pair wed in her native India before welcoming their daughter Malti in 2022.

Looking back on her initial hesitation, Priyanka made it clear that her fears about him being younger were unfounded, being her husband is “actually a 70-year-old man stuck in a 30-year-old’s body.”
