How long have Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas been together?

Chopra and Jonas started talking for the first time in 2016. Jonas sent Chopra a DM on Twitter, and the two of them decided to keep in touch. They finally met in person in 2017 at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

In mid-2018, the couple began dating, and things moved very fast for them. Jonas proposed to Chopra on her birthday in July, and the couple got married at the end of the year.

Jonas and Chopra’s wedding received a lot of press coverage. They had elaborate celebrations in Chopra’s home country of India and then a small ceremony later in North Carolina.

Why is Chopra so open about her relationship?

For the past year and a half, Chopra has talked quite a bit about her relationship with Jonas. She has shared stories about their marriage as well as their baby plans. Chopra has actually never been this outspoken about any past relationships before, and the actress shared that there is a good reason for it.

A few months before Chopra and Jonas tied the knot, Chopra said: “This is the first time I was comfortable with being with someone who is such an incredible partner, so it just felt natural.”

She also revealed that, as a female entertainer, she was often trying to make sure people knew her for her accomplishments, not for her relationship to someone else.

“I’ve never been public about my relationships. But that was a decision I took when I was very young,” Chopra shared. “Especially in entertainment because women have such public lives, we always end up being reduced to a plus one or ‘blahblahblah’s’ girlfriend. And I wanted to give myself enough time where I’m able to stand on my own two feet and have my identity as well.”

Chopra and Jonas seem to have a great relationship, and the pair has also been open about the fact that marriage requires a lot of effort.

For example, they try their best to not be far apart for a long time. This can be difficult since both of them have demanding careers, but Chopra told Tatler back in April that they really “don’t go more than two/three weeks without seeing each other.”

“It’s too hard otherwise,” she added, “and you’ve got to work on the relationship to prioritize it.”

Additionally, Chopra and Jonas are also each other’s biggest fan. They can often be seen supporting the other person’s projects and career. Chopra and Jonas also stick with each other through thick and thin.

“It’s about being patient with each other and adapting each day to how quickly things change and evolve,” Jonas told Insider.
