Photos: the love story of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas

Nick Jonas (Dallas, September 16, 1992) and Priyanka Chopra (Jamshedpur, July 18, 1982) are a fascinating couple. They represent two worlds coming together, and they're both beautiful and talented. Nick singing with the Jonas brothers, Priyanka acting in Bollywood and Hollywood.

Their wedding in 2018 was one of the high-profile celebrity unions of the past decade. The couple also made a reality show about the typically Indian wedding ceremony.

They appear to be the perfect couple. In front of the cameras, they always look fashionable. People Magazine declared them the Best Dressed Couple of 2019.

Their perfect appearance as a couple, with many public displays of affection, is endearing to some but annoying to others. It seems too perfect, too stylized.

Ordinary walks in the city, caught on film by paparazzi, seem like photo shoots or runway appearances.

The two are often in sync when it comes to their outfits.

Undoubtedly, Priyanka is the inspirator of the Best Dressed Couple. She has always been a fashion icon. The former Miss World from India knows how to shine in a broad variety of feminine, colourful, and perfectly accessorized outfits.

The colours and materials of both Mr. and Mrs. Jonas-Chopra seem to have been chosen carefully, no matter the occasion.

It was no surprise that People called them the Best Dressed Couple of the year. They are also very welcome guests at awards' shows. In 2021, they announced the nominees for the Oscars.

In a controversial article in The Cut, the author claimed that the actress and the singer, here posing at the 2019 Met Gala, were only trying to boost their personal brands. In fact, the article claimed that Priyanka was "shopping for men" who could get her good publicity to make it in Hollywood.

The article was so controversial that the author apologized and the article calling Chopra a "global scam artist" was removed.

Controversy and gossip has continued to follow the couple. What is the real story of Priyanka and Nick? Head-over-heels in love, media savvy, or - why not - both?

The glamorous duo met in a typically 21st-century way: Nick sent Priyanka a direct message on Twitter! In September 2016, the Jonas Brother took the bold step of writing the actress whom he really fancied. She replied and they began texting.

The two did not physically meet until early 2017, at the Vanity Fair Oscar gala where these photos were taken. Nick was standing at the bar when he saw Priyanka. "And I put my drink down," he told Vogue, "get on one knee - this is in front of a bunch of people - and I say, 'You’re real. Where have you been all my life?' Like, loud."

The romantic encounter did not last that long. Priyanka had to travel a lot and they did not meet again until a few months later, at the Met Gala. Despite rumours that they were dating, the two did not even kiss. Or at least, that's what they told Vogue.

After these encounters, it took a year before Nick and Priyanka would meet again. They kept texting each other, though. Nick later told SiriusXM: "I knew her for two years before we really started dating. I got to know her well as a friend first."

In the summer of 2018, the two started dating for real. In August, they told the public about it, and in December they got married. Talk about a high-speed relationship! After the first date, Nick had already told his brothers: "I'm going to propose later this year."

Nick reserved an entire Tiffany's store, People Magazine reported, so he could choose an engagement ring in private. Their wedding in India, on the other hand, was a great media event. Sponsors like Tiffany's, Amazon, and a liquor brand featured in the couple's Instagram posts about their bachelor's and wedding parties.

Some media outlets were critical of the superfast and high-profile relationship. Nick's response? A song called 'I believe':

"Well, call me crazy, And people saying that we move too fast, But I've been waiting, and for a reason, Ain't no turning back"

Among other things, tabloids commented on the couple's ages: Priyanka was born in 1982 and Nick in 1992, a difference of ten years. Chopra told InStyle that she found the criticism terrible. "When you flip it and the guy is older, no one cares and actually people like it."

Other critiques, which the Washington Post calls racist and sexist, have focused on the different cultures of the couple and the fact that their careers are in different stages. The Jonas Brothers are doing great, but Priyanka Chopra cannot seem to get a breakthrough in the American film scene.

After her appearance in the series 'Quantico,' which earned her the first People's Choice Award for a South Asian actress in 2016, Priyanka has not had much success. Her films, including 'Isn't it Romantic' and 'The White Tiger,' were generally acclaimed but did not exactly make her the next Jennifer Aniston.

Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers are at a highpoint in their careers. In 2019, the brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin released a studio album for the first time in 10 years. It included the most popular song of the year: 'S*cker.' Priyanka starred in the music video for the hit song, along with Danielle Jonas and 'Game of Thrones' actress Sophie Turner, the then-partners of the other Jonas Brothers.

Overall, the Jonas Brothers are having a lot of success in the United States, while Priyanka Chopra is still more popular in India.

What happens if Priyanka's success continues to lie mostly in Bollywood? Will they move to India? Their docuseries about the Sangeet - the Indian wedding ceremony - is an indication that they both are lovers of Indian culture.

A baby was an important next step for the couple. Malti Marie Chopra Jonas was born via surrogacy in 2022. When she was single, Priyanka had told Filmfare that she "always wanted babies. Lots of them. For that reason I want to get married, it is not fair to bring a child to this world without marriage."

Or will their career paths, cultures, and age difference break up the couple? For Nick's older brother Joe and Sophie Turner, things have already gone south. And for Nick and Priyanka too, there were several moments when the press spoke of a possible split. The couple has always responded with anger and insisted that they are very much in love.

The Jonas-Chopras will continue to show their love for each other in TV series, songs, and social media posts. In addition, Priyanka released the memoir 'Unfinished' in February 2021. We have not seen the last of this media-savvy couple yet.
