Nick Jonas reveals first DM that started his love story with Priyanka Chopra 10 years ago, how Kevin Jonas played cupid
On Jonas Brothers' podcast, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shared the story of their romance, beginning with Nick's DM in 2016.
Actor Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas' love story began with a simple social media DM, and eight years later, the couple are happily married and parents to four-year-old Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. As Priyanka appeared on the Jonas Brothers' podcast, Nick looked back at where it all began, revealing the very first message he sent her, the text that sparked their whirlwind romance.
What Nick Jonas messaged Priyanka Chopra for the first time
Nick revealed that his introduction to Priyanka came through his brother Kevin Jonas. He said, "My introduction to you was by way of Kevin saying, 'Hey, have you seen this show on ABC? It's called Quantico.' And I said, 'I have not.' And then, as he's talking about it, I look up on Sunset Boulevard and there's a billboard of your face. So then I go to Twitter and I'm like, 'I wonder if she follows me,' which you did. I sent you a direct message."
Priyanka added, "That's such a crazy story because Kevin and I like the same shows, and Nick and I never like the same shows."
A screenshot of their X conversation then appeared on the screen, with Joe and Kevin giving a dramatic reading of the messages. Nick's first message read, "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?" Priyanka replied, "Hey. Graham's told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this."
As Joe and Kevin read out the messages, Nick and Priyanka couldn't stop laughing and looked visibly embarrassed. The couple listened with amused expressions, holding hands throughout the segment, and cringed as Joe and Kevin dramatically reenacted their text exchange.
