Welcoming a daughter in January 2022 through surrogacy, Chopra and Jonas are currently living a happy life. However, the actress walked down memory lane to discuss her ex-relationships and how they affected her love life with Jonas.
“I was in a tumultuous relationship at that time. This is ’16” speaking about her initial years with Jonas, Chopra threw light upon the way they met. Discussing further how her friends instigated her to meet Jonas, the actress shared,
“We had common friends who didn’t want me to be in my relationship and were like, ‘Oh, he’s single too.’…It was complicated on both our ends.”
She mentioned she was in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend (unnamed) when Nick Jonas approached her through Twitter for the first time. Although she “didn’t want to engage as much at the time,” since she wished for a long-term relationship, she still agreed to meet him.
Priyanka Chopra’s Ex-Relationships Affected Her
Mentioning how she judged Nick Jonas “by the cover”, Priyanka Chopra stated she was done with the “fun dating things” and was “ready to get serious”. Therefore, she wasn’t willing to meet Jonas who was 25 at that time. However, the two met in person a week before their 2017 Met Gala appearance as Ralph Lauren’s guests. Explaining how exes were “a little bit narcissistic”, Chopra mentioned feeling scared before engaging in any sort of relationship with Jonas.
“I kept making the same mistakes”, Chopra explained and moved further to mention the known patterns. The actress shared,
“A lot of the pattern in my relationships was me feeling gaslit because I gave that kind of power to the people that I was with, where I was like, ‘You come first,’”
She mentioned how being single for a while helped her find much-needed clarity before engaging in a relationship with Nick Jonas. The 40-year-old shared cheerfully how hard Jonas had to try in order to win her heart.
However, working through their relationship and building a family together, Chopra and Jonas are happy with their toddler daughter, Malti Marie.
