Reflecting on their love story, Nick previously 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 the bad times with, and that was the key.”

It was love at first sight for the couple, with Nick proposing just one month after he and Priyanka went public with their relationship. 

As Nick and Priyanka celebrate five years of marriage, we take a look back at their star-studded romance.

Just over three months later, Nick and Priyanka made their red carpet debut in May 2017 at the Met Gala. Speaking on their appearance, Priyanka deflected any rumours of their potential romance, telling Jimmy Kimmel, “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren and decided to go together. It was fun. We were at the same table, so we were just like, ‘Hey, let’s go together.”

While the couple kept the early days of their romance out of the public eye, rumours surrounding the couple began to resurface in May 2018 after Nick and Priyanka were spotted by fans attending a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game over Memorial Day weekend. 

Over a week later, the couple were seen together on a dinner date in West Hollywood, with a source telling People, “They were very affectionate with each other and seemed to not care who saw. Priyanka ran her hands through his hair at one point and they were laughing and even dancing to the music.”

The following day, the couple held a Christian ceremony, officiated by Nick’s father Paul Kevin Jonas. 

“Being able to have two big weddings in India with our closest family and friends was unbelievably special. It was all tears,” Priyanka told  People. 

In February 2024, Nick and Priyanka’s wedding re-entered headlines after a clip from a 2019 episode of The Late Show with James Corden resurfaced that showed Nick being asked whether he was “done with weddings” during their multi-day ceremony.

Connected to a lie detector, Nick jokingly responded, “Yes, especially after looking at the bill”; referencing his speculated wedding cost of over $800,000 USD.
