Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have a baby on the way!
But do you actually know their love story up till now?
Did Nick really get down on one knee the moment he first saw his now-wife?
Keep watching to find out!
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's whirlwind romance began with a Twitter DM, as many love
stories do these days.
Jonas told Vogue in a joint interview with Chopra in 2018 that he initiated the chat
in 2016.
This was after a mutual friend, actor Graham Rogers, Chopra's co-star on ABC's "Quantico,"
told Jonas they should meet and that he'd connect them.
Jonas would later go on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" to say that Rogers took so long to introduce
them that he took it upon himself to get things going.
"We were told by a mutual friend that we should meet, and he said, ‘I’ll connect you guys.’
He never did, and I got impatient.
So I direct messaged her."
Speaking to Vogue, Jonas said his direct message started like this:
"I'm hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet."
Chopra replied and said to text her directly since her entire team has access to her Twitter
messages.
That began a texting relationship that was, as Jonas told the mag,
"Friendly with an eye toward flirtation."
They wouldn't meet in person until 2017.
Jonas may not have proposed to Chopra when they first met in person, but he did get down
on one knee.
Speaking to Vogue in 2018, Jonas set the scene of their first encounter in the real world.
They both were in attendance at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
Jonas was the first to notice Chopra, who walked into the room wearing a long black
Michael Kors dress.
The way he introduced himself was memorable, to say the least.
"Yay!"
"And I got down on one knee and said, ‘Where have you been all my life?’"
"He actually did."
Granted, the two had texted for months prior when Jonas directly messaged the actress on
Twitter.
After that public display of affection, Jonas suggested they get a drink.
Chopra looked at her manager for approval since they had a flight to catch to India,
and Jonas said it would only take five minutes.
They got that drink and talked, but then Chopra left for India, and their hush-hush texting
relationship continued.
The 2017 Met Gala brought Jonas and Chopra together again.
This time, their public meeting would spark romance rumors.
In a joint interview with Vogue in 2018, the couple shared that iconic fashion designer
Ralph Lauren invited them together to rock two of his designs at the gala.
Lauren reportedly didn't know anything about their months-long texting relationship.
Following the event, Chopra was a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
— where the host was less concerned with the gala and more about Chopra's relationship
status.
"Are you dating Nick Jonas?
Isn't he, like, 11 years old?"
"We were both wearing Ralph Lauren.
We decided to go together.
It was fun."
While the duo remained secretive about their budding relationship, the couple told Vogue
in 2018 that they met over drinks a week before the Met Gala in New York.
Chopra even invited Jonas back to her apartment.
Chopra told the outlet,
"We hung out for a couple of hours [...] He patted my back before he left."
Jonas said he didn't kiss her because, at the time, her mom was staying with her.
After appearing together at the 2017 Met Gala, Jonas and Chopra wouldn't see each other for
a year thanks to their busy work schedules.
They were apart until the next Met Gala in 2018 when they ran into each other and walked
the carpet separately, according to Vogue.
In the joint interview, the couple told the outlet that, while the timing wasn’t right
in the past, this time, they wanted to see what their relationship could be.
According to Just Jared, the duo spent Memorial Day weekend together in 2018, fueling the
fire to those dating rumors.
The outlet revealed that the two went on a date to the Hollywood Bowl to watch "Beauty
and the Beast Live in Concert."
That same weekend, they were spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game and then on a yacht
with some of Jonas' famous friends.
A Us Weekly report published in May 2018 confirmed that Jonas and Chopra were officially an item.
A source told the outlet,
"It's brand new [...] It's a good match and they are both interested in each other."
While the couple didn't confirm or deny the report, it appeared all signs pointed to yes
on social media.
In the couple of months leading up to the Us Weekly article, the duo liked and commented
on each other's Instagram photos pretty regularly.
What better indication is there for romantic entanglement, right?
For instance, Chopra liked a photo of Jonas posing by a balcony in Las Vegas, and he favorited
a photo of her standing outside as it snowed on her in New York City.
In late 2018, Jonas and Chopra got engaged, two years after he first slid into her Twitter
DMs.
A source told People in July 2018 that Jonas proposed to Chopra after only two months of
officially dating.
Per the source, Jonas shut down a Tiffany & Co. in London to purchase Chopra the perfect
engagement ring.
Chopra debuted the show-stopping engagement ring on Instagram.
Ring expert Andrew Brown, president of WP Diamond, estimated the ring was worth $200,000,
according to E! News.
In the interview with Vogue in 2018, Jonas said he proposed to Chopra in Crete on what
Chopra thought was her birthday celebration.
Jonas told the outlet,
"I got down on one knee, again, and I said: 'Will you make me the happiest man in the
world and marry me?'"
Apparently, the move left Chopra speechless.
As far as reactions people tend to aim for when they propose, we’d have to say this
was a home run for Jonas.
One wedding wasn't enough for this power couple.
Chopra and Jonas tied the knot in two ceremonies in December 2018, just several months after
news of their engagement in July.
Per People, the duo hosted two weddings in India in December.
First, a Western-styled wedding, and then a Hindu ceremony the next day.
Leading up to the Hindu ceremony, the couple participated in various traditions, wore traditional
garments, and more.
During the Western wedding, Chopra walked down the aisle in a traditionally white Ralph
Lauren wedding dress to a string quartet, while Jonas wore a traditional tuxedo.
Chopra told the outlet,
"I love that our wedding was a religious mash-up [...] We took beautiful traditions that we
both grew up with and personalized them in a way that made sense for us."
The wedding weekend in India featured over 200 guests, including Jonas' famous brothers,
Joe and Kevin, alongside their significant others, actress Sophie Turner and Danielle
Jonas, respectively.
Following their Hindu ceremony, the two participated in a bridal ritual called Bidaai, a blessing
onto Chopra and her new husband.
Jonas and Chopra know how to mix business with pleasure.
Following their extravagant wedding celebrations in India, instead of immediately jet setting
on their honeymoon they attended a few business and personal engagements together as husband
and wife.
According to another People article, the two appeared at a Bumble red carpet event and
party in New Delhi.
Chopra is an investor of the online dating app, which was hosting an app launch party
in India.
Then, they flew to Udaipur, India, for a friend's wedding celebration.
Per Time, they did enjoy a mini-honeymoon in Oman, which they followed up with a Jonas
family vacation in Switzerland.
Even without a honeymoon right away, it's clear the newlyweds still had a chance to
enjoy their newly married life throughout their busy post-wedding season.
Chopra posted an intimate selfie of herself cuddling up next to her hubby on Instagram
with this caption,
"Marital bliss they say."
As a Hollywood power couple, Jonas and Chopra have responsibilities that often take them
away from each other.
On InStyle's "Ladies First With Laura Brown" podcast in 2021, Chopra spoke about how difficult
it was for the couple to manage busy work schedules and spend time with one another.
She said,
"This year has been really, really tough.
It was really, really tough to be away from home for an entire year, especially at a time
when you can't travel to see your family."
"I just wanna go home."
Hinting at the COVID-19 pandemic, she went on to say that while she was in the U.K. working,
her hubby, Jonas, was in America.
Even so, they managed to make a long-distance relationship work through quarantines and
all.
Chopra shared on the podcast,
"He flew down a bunch of times, I flew down a couple of times."
While they didn't spend much of 2021 together, the duo visited each other as often as time
allowed and made it work.
"Hey look, we’re stronger together than we are apart."
Chopra and Jonas have spoken candidly about their desire to grow their family.
Chopra expressed this desire to Vanity Fair in a feature published in January 2022.
She told the outlet,
"By God's grace, when it happens, it happens."
Even though the actress and her hubby, Jonas, are busy people, Chopra told the mag that
she's okay with slowing down their work schedules to make time for a baby.
Meanwhile, Jonas spoke to Extra in early 2021 about their desire to have kids, saying,
"We'd be blessed with any child, son or daughter or anything...
I'm sure her mother will want to weigh in and my family would want to weigh in, too...
But just knocking wood that it happens."
While Chopra and Jonas had discussed with the media their desire to have kids, they
surprised fans when they welcomed their first baby together via surrogate on January 15,
2022.
Chopra shared the news on Instagram,
"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."
Several sources told TMZ that the baby, a girl, was born in a Southern California hospital.
The couple has remained rather mum on social media, though Chopra did post a photo album
on Instagram in February 2022, and one of the photos featured several stuffed animals.
The baby announcement came weeks after Chopra expressed to Vanity Fair her plans to one
day start a family with Jonas, saying,
"[Children are] a big part of our desire for the future."
