In an exclusive interview on the Hey Jonas podcast, Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed the charming story behind her first encounter with husband Nick Jonas. The pair met in Los Angeles when Kevin Jonas mentioned Quantico, an ABC drama starring Priyanka, and pointed out a billboard of her face on Sunset Boulevard.
Nick recalled his initial skepticism about meeting someone he had only seen on television, leading him to ask for proof. 'He wanted to corroborate it was actually me,' Chopra Jonas explained. 'So he asked me for a photo [in] that moment looking at the camera with a timestamp.'
Despite Nick's seemingly practical approach, Priyanka appreciated his cautious nature and agreed to take the picture. The encounter led to a series of text messages between them before they began dating a year and a half later.
Nick shared the first message he sent to Priyanka: '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's response was equally business-like: 'Hey.. Graham’s told me so much about you..Let’s text. More private. My team can access this.'
The couple continued their digital correspondence until they eventually started dating, celebrating their eighth anniversary this December with their four-year-old daughter Matli Marie Chopra Jonas.
