Time to gather 'round as we take a deep dive into Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s incredibly sweet relationship timeline—from how they met to where they stand today. Nickyanka stans, this one’s for you.
February 2017
Sparks first fly between Priyanka and Nick at Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party in 2017. In an interview with Vogue, Nick reveals he put on the moves when he noticed Priyanka in her black sequined Michael Kors gown.
They’d already been texting though, so when Nick met Priyanka…this happened: “I put my drink down, 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.”
April 2017
A week before they’re spotted together at the Met Gala, the pair go out for a “proper drink” at the Carlyle Hotel in New York. Nick even meets his future mother-in-law that same night.
May 2017
Nick and Priyanka attend the 2017 Met Gala together as “friends,” but some very cute and goal-worthy photos make it clear they have chemistry:
May 2018
Earth revolves around the sun once more, and it’s May again. Per reports from Us Weekly, Nick and Priyanka hit up the Beauty and the Beast Live concert at the Hollywood Bowl. “They walked in together just before the performance was starting; they looked great together but no handholding or obvious PDA,” an eyewitness says. “The two were seen heading to the concessions stand during intermission before returning to their seats to finish taking in the show. They snuck out right as the show was ending.”
Nick and Priyanka are next spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game “talking really closely” and being “very smiley and very happy.” An onlooker tells Us Weekly, “They weren’t trying to be private as they were in a pretty public place, but they were talking to people around them, sitting closely, and they both just seemed super happy.”
The couple is then snapped cuddling on a boat over Memorial Day weekend:
And then Us Weekly confirms the news that Nick and Priyanka are officially together, with a source saying, “They are dating and it’s brand-new. It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other.”
June 2018
Nick hits Instagram to compliment Priyanka’s smile and our collective hearts disintegrate.
Priyanka then leaves a suuuuper flirty comment on Nick’s Instagram, and the country of Australia immediately loses all chill:
Towards the end of the month, Nick and Priyanka take their love to Mumbai, and word on the street is she introduced him to her fam!
That same day, Nick and Priyanka make it Instagram official! Well, Insta Stories official...but still!
July 2018
Priyanka hits up Nick’s concert in Brazil, and not only does she spend the entire time taking pictures like a proud girlfriend, but she also posts a video to Instagram Stories.
Later in the month, Priyanka tells Vogue that what she thought was just a ~casual~ birthday trip to Crete wound up being anything but because Nick had, well, other plans. Why, you ask? Because there was a legit engagement ring involved, which he bought at a Tiffany & Co. in London.
Nick waited until midnight to pop the question so their anniversary wouldn’t coincide with Priyanka’s birthday celebrations—smart! “I got down on one knee, again, and I said, ‘Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?’” Nick later revealed. Priyanka was apparently so speechless that he said, “I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections.”
August 2018
Nick and Priyanka confirm their engagement on Instagram with matching posts. Even the heartbroken skeptics have got to admit this is pretty beautiful:

December 2018
Because of the *enormity* of the event, outlets in India report that the palace staff is restricted from using their cell phones to prevent any leaked photos from Priyanka and Nick’s wedding.
What we do know, though, is that the celebration begins with a Western wedding officiated by Nick’s dad and is followed the next day by a Hindu ceremony that honors Priyanka’s roots. The bride’s ’fits are beyond stunning and include a long-sleeve, high-neck Ralph Lauren gown…complete with a 75-foot veil, obviii.
And because the couple is just waaay too booked and busy for a traditional honeymoon, they opt to celebrate their marriage with a romantic minimoon in Oman. They even carve their initials—NJ and PCJ—in the sand and post the cutest pic on Instagram!
Later in the month, Nick and Priyanka enjoy the holidays and spend their first Christmas together as husband and wife.
January 2019
The fourth time’s the charm for the celebs, who bring their wedding festivities over to the United States roughly two months after tying the knot in India. The final celebration in their honor is hosted at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen in North Carolina, aka the Jonas family’s restaurant.
E! News reports that a sign inside the party reads, “Nick and Priyanka just got hitched, but that knot that they tied has not been dipped in gravy or honey or hot chicken grease. So it’s time we throw them a Nellie’s Southern feast. Mama and Papa J invite you with pride to come celebrate their boy and his bride.”

Check out some of the lyrics: “Caught my heart about one, two times / Don’t need to question the reason, I’m yours / I’d move the Earth or lose a fight just to see you smile / ’Cause you got no flaws, no flaws.”
December 2020
In honor of their second wedding anniversary, the couple share never-before-seen pics of their nuptials (75-foot veil included) with the caption, “Two years married to the most wonderful, inspiring, and beautiful woman. Happy anniversary @priyankachopra I love you.”
Priyanka, for her part, takes to the platform to post a casual photo of the two of them on a walk in the UK and accompanies it with the words, “Happy 2-year anniversary to the love of my life. Always by my side. My strength. My weakness. My all. I love you @nickjonas.”
February 2021
Priyanka tells Elle UK that she and Nick plan to see each other every three weeks despite their hectic schedules. “Wherever we are in the world, we fly to each other at least once a month for a couple of days. It was our rule when we first got married. Otherwise, we’d never see each other. Our teams also had to get married!”

Meanwhile, Priyanka covers British Vogue and opens up about Nick, saying, “We did go zero to 60. We didn’t know each other’s careers before we met. Like, didn’t know them well. So we do a show-and-tell once in a while and share random things that we’ve done to show the other person what we were like when we were younger.” She also says, “He’s a wise man beyond his years. I get affirmations from him all the time, to remind me of my value when I forget or when I get insecure. He just sees through the fog for me. He sees the best in people.”
