Here, relive their Met Gala meeting, Chopra’s latest emotional birthday montage, and every moment in between. Plus, see the heartfelt messages they penned for the second anniversary of their first date.
2016
It was revealed in a December 2018 Vogue cover story that Jonas made the first move via Twitter DM on September 8, 2016. “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet,” he wrote to Chopra. She responded, ‘My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me,’ along with her phone number.
The future couple would text for several months, although Chopra admits she had never allowed her relationships to go public before. But when it came to Jonas, she told Vogue she thought, “What is happening? I’ve not known myself like this.” Jonas had been previously linked to Olivia Culpo and Miley Cyrus.

February 2017
In the same Vogue interview, the pair remembers reconnecting at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. Jonas recalls that when he saw Chopra walk into the room, he put his drink down and got on one knee to say (in front of a crowd), “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?'”
May 2017
Months later, Ralph Lauren coincidentally invited both Jonas and Chopra to attend the Met Gala in his designs. A week before the event, Jonas and Chopra grabbed a drink together at the Carlyle Hotel. She also invited Jonas to her apartment for a night that ended not with a kiss, but a platonic back pat. However, Joe Jonas told Vogue that after the Met Gala and its afterparties Chopra “kind of knocked him off his feet. He was just this little puppy dog.”
Later that month, Chopra told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that while she wouldn’t rule out a future flirtation with Jonas, the two were just friends.

A whole year later, a source told Us Weekly that the pair was dating. “They are dating and it’s brand new,” the insider said. “It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other.” This news was solidified over Memorial Day weekend, where the duo saw Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl, attended a Dodgers game, and were spotted on a friend’s boat. Another source told People, “They’re flirtatious and have been hanging out and text all the time,” although their relationship is “very casual.” However, fans noted that Chopra and Jonas had been liking each other’s Instagram posts for months prior.
June 2018
Jonas commented, “That smile ❤️” on an Instagram of Chopra. “Burgers and Chanel…my favourite combo with my fav girls,” she captioned a meal at In-N-Out.
Chopra soon began commenting on Jonas’s posts. On a photo of the musician posing with a koala bear at an Australian zoo, she wrote, “Who is cuter?”
Next, the potential couple was spotted at JFK airport for a trip where Chopra reportedly met Jonas’s parents in New Jersey. “It’s a huge deal that Nick brought Priyanka to his cousin’s wedding,” a source close to the couple told People. “He’s dated a lot over the last couple years but it’s never been anything serious, so this is a big step.” The source added, “Nick and Priyanka really like each other, and his family enjoyed getting to know her as well. She’ll fit right in!”
Weeks after Chopra accompanied Jonas to his cousin’s wedding, the new couple flies to India for a week-long vacation so Jonas can meet Chopra’s family. A People source said, “They’re very happy. It’s getting serious.”
During the visit, the couple went IG official. Jonas shared a video of Chopra walking toward him across a balcony with the caption,”Her 😍.”
Next, the burgeoning couple goes to Brazil where Jonas performs at the VillaMix festival. “Him 😍,” Chopra wrote alongside a clip of him onstage.
July 2018
Around this time the couple was also spotted wearing matching gold bands, although no engagement was announced just yet. They ware reportedly on display for a Citi biking excursion with Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner through NYC over Fourth of July weekend.
Jonas and Chopra went on a double date with Joe, Turner, and Kevin in London’s Mayfair. E! reports that the pair could be moving in together soon. “Priyanka and Nick are still very serious,” a source told the outlet. “They have a very healthy relationship and truly are a good pair. Nick has basically been living in Priyanka’s New York City apartment with her and they spend a lot of time together. They next step is him permanently moving in, and it has been a discussion.”
On July 27, a source close to the couple told People that Jonas and Chopra were engaged in London on her 36th birthday. Jonas later clarified for Vogue that he had shut down a Tiffany & Co. in London to select the ring with his brother a few weeks earlier. He popped the question at midnight after Chopra’s birthday while in Crete. “I got down on one knee, again, and I said: Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?” Jonas told the outlet. “No joke—she took about 45 seconds. Forty-five seconds of silence.” Finally, the musician said, “I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections.”
Around that time, Us Weekly reported that the newly-engaged pair visited newlyweds Prince Harry and Chopra’s close friend, Meghan Markle at their country home.
August 2018
A couple of weeks after the engagement, a source told People that Jonas and his family were traveling to India to meet Chopra’s family. “Nick has been obsessed with Priyanka since they started dating,” the source said. “He obviously thinks she’’ beautiful, but he’s also drawn to her intelligence. She has this charisma and energy that draws you to her, and she’s fit in so well with his friends and family.”
E! ran a report that the Jonas family was traveling to India expressly for an engagement party hosted by Chopra’s family. “It’s going to be the first time that their families intermingle and get to know each other,” a source said. The insider alludes to a short engagement by saying, “Priyanka wants everything to be traditional to respect her family’s values, and definitely an Indian wedding. Priyanka and Nick are excited for everyone to meet and to celebrate. Everything is very secretive but guests are expected to head there starting tomorrow. All of the plans are moving quickly and Priyanka and Nick do not want to have a long engagement.”
On August 18, Chopra and Jonas finally confirmed their engagement by posting matching photos of them looking into each other’s eyes. Chopra’s engagement ring was on full display.
Chopra captioned her post, “Taken.. With all my heart and soul..” “Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love.” Jonas captions his.
They also posted sets of photos from their familial engagement party. Chopra wrote, “The only way to do this… with Family and God. Thank you all for your wishes and blessings 🙏🏼♥️🎉” Jonas wrote, “Prayer, family and loved ones as the foundation to this new chapter. 🇮🇳” The trip also includes a visit to St. Catherine’s orphanage, which Chopra shares to social media.
Fellow husband-and-wife-to-be Joe and Turner each gave well wishes to the couple. Turner posted, “Wow. First I’m blessed with an incredible future brother-in-law, and now such an beautiful, inside and out, future sister-in-law. I’m so excited to welcome you into the family @priyankachopra. I love you both @nickjonas.”
Joe wished his younger brother well by writing, “I couldn’t be happier for my brother. Welcome to the family @priyankachopra We love you.”

The couple brought it back to the roots of their relationship by attending Ralph Lauren’s 50th anniversary celebration during New York Fashion Week. Some even claimed that Chopra and Jonas recreated Meghan and Harry’s engagement photos during a similarly posed shot.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jonas admitted his fiancée liked “Prick” as their celebrity couple name.

Both Chopra and Jonas shared photos from the visit, which included a puja ceremony, a traditional spiritual event that happens before a major event, such as a wedding.
As people began to suspect that all of the festivities are a pre-wedding agenda, sources explained to Us Weekly why two high-profile friends wouldn’t be in attendance. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were unable to travel due to the Duchess of Sussex’s pregnancy.
December 2018
On December 1, the couple tied the knot at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Chopra wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown, with the designer also making a suit for Jonas.

During the same interview, Chopra discussed why she opted to take Jonas’s last name. “I always wanted to add his name to mine because I feel like we’re becoming family, and I’m a little traditional and old school like that,” Chopra said. “But I don’t take away my identity.

Chopra also attended her first ever Jonas Brothers concert while in Atlanta, triggering tears for all who thought they’d be Nick’s wife one day.
April 2019
While speaking at Tina Brown’s 10th Annual Women in the World Summit, Chopra admitted that she initially judged Jonas. “I’ve known him for two years,” she said. “I didn’t think that this is what it [would’ve] turned out to be, and that’s maybe that’s my fault, I judged a book by its cover. When I actually started dating Nick, he surprised me so much.” She went on to say, “He’s such an old soul, extremely smart, so good for me because he grounds me so much. I’m a wild child, I do whatever I want whenever I want and he always supports me.”
Chopra supported him right back that same month, attending a Jonas Brothers show in Pennsylvania with Danielle and Sophie.

“One year ago today I went to go see Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood bowl with a group of friends. One of those friends was the woman that would become my best friend, my confidant, my muse, my beautiful wife. I am so grateful for our journey together so far. You make me smile every day and you inspire me to be the best version of myself. I am honored to be your husband. I love you. ❤️ @priyankachopra“
June 2019
Chopra went as Jonas’s plus one for the premiere of his Amazon documentary, Happiness Begins.
The same month, the album Happiness Begins dropped, solidifying the return of the Jonas Brothers. “I Believe,” a song off the album further solidified the connection between Chopra and Jonas. In the song, Nick sings, “Call me crazy / People saying that we move too fast / But I’ve been waiting, and for a reason / Ain’t no turning back / ‘Cause you show me something I can’t live without / I believe, I believe, I believe.”
During an interview for InStyle, Chopra opened up about hurtful comments over her and Jonas’s ten-year age difference. “People gave us a lot of shit about that and still do,” she said. “I find it really amazing when you flip it and the guy is older, no one cares and actually people like it.”
On June 18, Chopra captioned a sweet selfie, “That kinda day.. 😍❤️💋😊💏#husbandappreciation.”
July 2019
In an interview with ELLE UK, Chopra discussed how things have changed since becoming Mrs. Jonas. “I’d never realised having a husband and a boyfriend are such different things,” she said. “When you say your vows, it’s like, this person is my family, and it’s the family I chose. There’s a weird responsibility to them. And a safety that comes from it. We are learning about each other every day.”
The couple headed back to Miami for some boating and PDA-filled posts. “My 💓,” Chopra wrote alongside a photo of the couple.

Babies are seemingly on the brain for Chopra and Jonas. In an interview with Vogue India, Chopra says,”Buying a home and having a baby are on my to-do list.”
On September 16, Chopra shared a proper birthday tribute to Jonas with a montage of their love story. She captioned it, “The light of my life. Everyday with you is better than the last.

By March 20, the couple was safely back in the U.S. and sharing a fireside update on their quarantine via Instagram.
The following day, Chopra shared her own homebound Instagram post. In the photo, she and Jonas are curled up with a blanket and their pet dog, Gino.
Chopra also spoke appreciatively about her husband while on Diane Von Furstenberg’s podcast, InCharge. “We wrote like five things that we love about each other,” she told DVF of their time in quarantine. “And the first thing he said was ‘your ambition.’ I’ve never heard a guy say that.”
April 2020
Isolation fever set in for the couple as the coronavirus pandemic really took root in the U.S., and many people quarantined to slow the spread of the virus.
Both have spoken about the different hobbies they’re taking up at home. In an article written for Vogue, Chopra said Jonas had begun teaching her how to play piano. “I’ve also started the piano—I make my husband teach me,” she wrote. “I’ve never played, but I’ve always wanted to learn an instrument, so I make him give me a half-hour or 45-minute lesson every day.” Not only is Jonas her “in-house piano teacher,” but an “in-house physical trainer, and in-house writing partner,” Chopra noted. On April 25, she posted a photo of herself and her husband, writing, “Felt like wearing a saree. So I did…At home. Miss everyone. ❤️ @nickjonas.”
May 2020
However, not all of Jonas’s hobbies have been beneficial to Chopra. She made a cameo in one of his weekly The Voice happy hour videos to express disdain for her husband’s latte art. “Nick is going crazy with these latte designs,” she explained. “All he does is drink coffee all day!”
On May 25, the pair celebrated their second anniversary as a couple. Chopra shared the first selfie they ever snapped together. “2 years ago today we took our very first picture together. Every day since then you have brought me endless joy and happiness. I love you @nickjonas Thank you for making our life together so incredible. Here’s to many more date nights… ❤️😍” she wrote.
Jonas shared a photo of the twosome sporting western hats for his anniversary post. He wrote, “This beautiful woman and I went on our first date two years ago today. It has been the best two years of my life, and to think I am lucky enough to get to spend the rest of my life with her is such an incredible blessing. I love you babe. Happy two years ❤️❤️”
July 2020
Chopra offered another update on her quarantine with Jonas to British Vogue. She spoke about the challenges of being homebound for months on end and what it’s like to be away from her family in India. She told the outlet, via Entertainment Tonight, that “although it has been really, really difficult being apart from my mom and brother, who are both in India, I’m so grateful to have spent time with my husband, family and dogs, but mostly with my four year old niece, Krishna. It’s been incredible watching her discover new things.” Chopra also said she was “trying to learn the piano” from her husband.
That same month, the couple celebrated a few more events on the ‘gram. Jonas posted a sunlit photo of himself and Chopra for her latest birthday. “I could stare into your eyes forever. I love you baby. You are the most thoughtful, caring and wonderful person I have ever met. I am so grateful we found one another. Happy birthday beautiful. 🎂” he captioned the pic.
The next day, Chopra paid tribute to her husband on the second anniversary of their engagement. She shared a photo of Jonas kissing her on the cheek in front of a mirror, writing, “To the greatest joy of my life. 2 years ago on this day you asked me to marry you! I may have been speechless then but I say yes every moment of everyday since. In the most unprecedented time you made this weekend so incredibly memorable. Thank you for thinking of me all the time. I am the luckiest girl in the world! I love you @nickjonas.”
August 2020
And then the Chopra-Jonas clan welcomed a new member to the family. On August 8, the couple shared they had adopted a third dog, Panda. “Welcome to the family Panda! Panda is a Husky Australian Shepard mix rescue and we’re already in love ❤️,” Jonas wrote on his Instagram.
Chopra shared the same photo, writing, “Our new family portrait! Welcome to the family, Panda! We adopted this little rescue (soon he won’t be so little) just a few weeks ago. We can’t be sure but he seems to be a Husky Australian Shepard mix…. and those eyes… and the ears!!! ❤️😍❤️🐼❤️🐶 ” She even admitted that their dog Diana wasn’t down for the photo-op, so she was photoshopped into the portrait. “BTW @diariesofdiana wasn’t around for our little photoshoot, but we couldn’t leave our #1 girl out…so…we made it work! 😂 😉”
September 2020

Chopra replied, “Only if I get an autographed copy of BLOOD! Let’s get it!! I love u babu! 😍”
May 2022
The couple welcomed their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, after she was delivered via surrogate in early 2022. Four months later on May 8, they shared their first photo of the newborn on their Instagram pages. In the picture, Chopra is holding the baby for skin-to-skin contact with Jonas at her side. The baby is in pink with a white headband featuring a bow, and her face is discreetly covered.
In the caption, they shared how Malti needed to remain in the NICU for more than 100 days, causing them a great deal of stress and worry.
“On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” the actress wrote. “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home.”
She continued, “Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is. We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home, and just want to thank every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles, who were there selflessly every step of the way. Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
November 2022
The couple has kept Malti’s face mostly private, but will occasionally share a little glimpse of her cuteness. In November, Chopra shared a shot of the 10-month-old bundled up in her car seat, with a little pink beanie partially covering her face.
Chopra captioned the image, “I mean…” along with two heart-eyed emojis.
An insider told E! News this summer that the couple are “very in love.”
The insider added, “It’s like Malti has brought them good luck with how amazing things seem for them all around right now.”
