After unexpectedly crossing paths on social media, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have grown to become one of Hollywood’s most fan-favourite romances.
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.
How did Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas meet?
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra first met on social media in September 2016 after Nick slid into Priyanka’s Twitter DMs.
“I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet,” Nick wrote, with Priyanka replying, “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me?”
The duo reportedly continued to exchange flirty texts back and forth before finally crossing paths with one another at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
When did Priyanka Chopra start dating Nick Jonas?
During the couple’s first meeting, Nick told Vogue that he immediately got down on one knee in front of Priyanka before telling her, “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?”
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.”
After many months of flirting back and forth in one another’s Instagram comments, Priyanka and Nick confirmed their relationship on Instagram in June 2018, with Nick sharing a now-deleted video of Priyanka captioned “Her 😍.”
When did Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas get married?
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra tied the knot on November 30, 2018.
In July 2018, Nick proposed to Priyanka while on a romantic getaway in Crete, Greece. Speaking on the proposal, Nick told Vogue, “I said, ‘Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?’… No joke – She took about 45 seconds [to respond to the proposal]. 45 seconds of silence.”
One month later, Nick and Priyanka publicly confirmed their engagement following the couple’s traditional roka ceremony in Mumbai.
“Taken… With all my heart and soul,” Priyanka captioned the announcement, with the pair sharing a loved-up snap from the ceremony.
On November 30, Nick and Priyanka held their first of two wedding ceremonies, with the pair first tying the knot in a traditional Indian wedding in Jodphur, India.
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.
Do Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have children?
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas share a one-year-old daughter Malti Marie.
“We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate,” Priyanka shared to Instagram in January 2022.
Malti Marie made her first public appearance alongside her parents in January 2023 at the Jonas Brothers’ Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, with Nick giving his wife and daughter an adorable shout-out during his speech.
“I love being married to you. It is the greatest gift. I love being a parent with you. So, Malti Marie, I can’t wait to come back here with you in 15 years and embarrass you in front of your friends.”
Following her first public appearance, both Priyanka and Nick have regularly shared updates on social media with their daughter, with Nick also sharing a number of father-daughter snaps from his time on tour with the Jonas Brothers.
“He’s your biggest champion. He’ll be the loudest in the room when you win His wisdom will be the shoulders you stand on… His joy is your joy. He is dada or dad or papa or whatever you call them,” Priyanka wrote to Instagram for Father’s Day, adding, “I love you @nickjonas thank you for being ours. MM and I are so lucky.”
On January 17, 2024, Nick took to Instagram to share an adorable collection of snaps from Malti Marie’s second birthday, writing, “Our little angel is 2 years old ❤️.”
Priyanka also shared a selection of snaps of the couple and their daughter, writing, “She is our miracle. And she is 2.”
