Bollywood actress, Priyanka Chopra is revealing ‘behind-the-scenes’ about her love life from her past to the present in a candid chat with Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert.
During the chat, the former Miss World winner revealed that she was in a tumultuous relationship when her now husband. Nick slipped into her DM and asked her for her number.
Without revealing the name of the man she was dating at the time, Priyanka said, ‘He (Nick) slid into my DMs on Twitter. I was in a tumultuous relationship at that time. This is 2016 and we had common friends who like didn’t want me to be in my [previous] relationship.’
Opening up about her reservations about dating a man 10 years her junior, she disclosed that she initially didn’t want to engage much with Nick during their initial days, while communicating over the phone.
Priyanka added that both her friends and even Nick’s brother, Kevin Jonas pushed the two to meet, but ‘it was complicated on both our ends,’ she said.
She said, ‘His brother (Kevin Jonas) loved Quantico. I’m really glad because he told Nick, pointing at me at a billboard, ‘You should call her.’ He (Nick) had a few people being like, ‘Call her’, so he just DMed me and I was like, ‘Why don’t you just text me?’ because my social team will just read these messages.
He was like, ‘Ya, ya, ya, you just want to give me your number.’ I kinda did but didn’t want to admit it at that time because I was in a relationship.’
Priyanka revealed her hesitation to do so, saying, ‘I kinda did [and I] didn’t wanna admit at that time because I was in a relationship. I was in long, long serious relationships, 6 years – 5 years average, but back-to-back.
‘When Nick texted me in 2016, slid into my DM and we started chatting, I was at the end of my last long relationship before Nick.’
Commenting on their 10-year age gap, she said that she didn’t want to engage in the romance at the time because she wanted to settle down.
Nick and Priyanka actually started talking in 2016 as the actress confirmed.
They later walked the Met Gala red carpet together in 2017 and went public about their romance in May 2018.
Two months later, they were engaged and walked down the aisle on December 1, 2018.
