From Instagram DM to Marriage: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Love Story

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have taken us back to the digital moment that kicked off their whirlwind romance. Appearing on the "Hey Jonas" podcast, the duo shared the details of their first Instagram conversation – a chat that eventually led to their marriage in 2018. The couple, while holding hands and sharing laughs, reminisced about the early days of their relationship, charming listeners with tales of how it all began.

“Hello. I've heard from a few people that we should meet. I have to agree with these people. Are you in LA anytime soon?”

This was Nick's opening line, read out loud by his brother Joe Jonas. Apparently, Nick was inspired to slide into Priyanka's DMs after seeing her on a billboard. Kevin Jonas added to the nostalgia, recalling a conversation where he asked Nick if he had seen "Quantico," Priyanka's hit ABC drama. Although Nick hadn't watched the show, the billboard sighting was enough to make him reach out.

Priyanka's Playful Response and the Start of Something Real

Priyanka's response, read by Kevin, took the conversation off social media. She replied, "Hey... Graham’s told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this." The mention of Graham Rogers, their mutual friend, was the nudge they needed to take things to the next level, and soon they were texting away from prying eyes.

Their chat was just the beginning, with Nick revealing that he had sent that message "about a year and a half" before they started officially dating in May 2018. Reflecting on his bold move, Nick described it as a "sensible message."

A Humorous Twist and Bollywood Gossip Love

But the story doesn't end with the DM. In a twist of humor, Nick admitted to asking Priyanka for a timestamped photo to prove her identity once they moved to texting. Priyanka laughed about it, recalling, "I was like this guy is so sus of me already," but appreciated his cautious nature.

Beyond the romance, the podcast revealed Nick's surprising fondness for Bollywood gossip. He confessed to keeping track of the latest buzz, enjoying the vibrant and dramatic world of Bollywood news. Priyanka laughed at his insider knowledge, saying, "Even I don’t know if someone has broken up with someone, but you do."

Nick's fascination with Bollywood has become a charming aspect of their relationship, adding an extra layer to their love story that makes it all the more endearing to fans.
