Nick Jonas reveals how he first reached out to Priyanka Chopra, revisit their first DMs
Washington DC, July 15
Singer-actor Nick Jonas and actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas took a trip down memory lane as they revisited the first direct messages they exchanged before they started dating, sharing the amusing moment on the recent episode of the 'Hey Jonas' podcast, according to E! News.
The couple, who tied the knot in December 2018, looked back at their early Twitter conversation while Nick's brothers, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas, read the messages aloud. Holding hands, Nick and Priyanka could not hide their embarrassment as they listened to their first exchange.
Setting the context, Kevin Jonas recalled asking his younger brother whether he had watched 'Quantico', the ABC thriller series starring Priyanka from 2015 to 2018. Although Nick admitted he had not seen the show, he said he was prompted to contact Priyanka after seeing her on a billboard promoting the series.
Reading Nick's first message, Joe Jonas quoted, "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?"
Kevin then read Priyanka's response, saying, "Hey... Graham's told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this," according to E! News.
The exchange referred to their mutual friend Graham Rogers, who had encouraged the two to connect, according to E! News.
Reflecting on the message, which Nick said was sent "about a year and a half" before the couple officially began dating in May 2018, the singer remarked, "It's a sensible message."
Nick also revealed that when the two moved their conversation to text messages, he asked Priyanka to verify her identity by sending him a photograph with a timestamp.
"I was like this guy is so sus of me already," Priyanka joked, adding, "But I appreciated it too."
The couple, who are parents to four-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, have often spoken about the early days of their relationship, according to E! News.
Kevin Jonas also shared a humorous anecdote about their first date during an earlier episode of the 'Hey Jonas' podcast in June.
"It was pretty great. I wingmanned hard. I wingmanned so hard I threw up in the bathroom and rallied," Kevin recalled, describing his role in helping the couple during their first outing together, according to E! News.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra married in December 2018 after a whirlwind romance and have since welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas.

Honestly, I love how secure and fun their relationship is. Priyanka is a power woman and Nick supports her fully. The way they laugh together about their early days is heartwarming. More power to this amazing couple! ❤️
As a fan of both Bollywood and Hollywood, it makes me so proud seeing Priyanka represent India on this level. The way she carries herself with dignity and class is inspiring. Nick seems like a genuine guy too. Wishing them all the best!
I'm not usually one for celebrity gossip, but this is genuinely sweet. The fact that Nick was cautious about verification (who hasn't been catfished online?) makes it relatable. And Priyanka's response was perfect - professional yet open. Good for them!
Honestly, their love story is straight out of a film! From cold DMing to a fairytale wedding in Jodhpur - it's the perfect modern romance. And Malti Marie is the cutest addition to their family tree. India loves you, PC! 🌸
I find the 'Hey Jonas' podcast format really engaging. Having the brothers read the messages aloud must have been awkward but hilarious for them. It's refreshing to see celebrity couples being so open about how they met. Brings back the human element.
