What if we told you Priyanka Chopra did not first meet Nick Jonas at the MET Gala 2017? The love story of the two stars started much earlier in 2016. A lot had already happened before the world got an inkling about their relationship. Nickyanka, as their fans like to address them, opened up about their love story to fashion magazine Vogue. From who approached whom first to the decision of getting married, the couple revealed it all.

Nick sent a message to Priyanka’s Quantico co-actor Graham Rogers saying, “Priyanka. Is. Wow.” And, on September 8, 2016, he messaged Priyanka on Twitter, “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.” Further, he narrated “She responded day off with a message that said, ‘My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.’” This is when Jonas got Priyanka’s number and the texting game began.

After their chitter chatter over texts, the two stars met at the Oscars party that year. Dressed in a velvet suit with a white rose in his pocket, Jonas noticed Priyanka walking in. “And 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,” Jonas told Vogue. Priyanka who had a flight to India in a few hours agreed to have a drink with the singer. “I looked at Anj” (her manager, Anjula Acharia), and I said, ‘Five minutes.’” said Priyanka.

Next, they were invited to attend the Met Gala. But a week before meeting at the gala, the two stars met over a drink after which Priyanka invited Jonas to her apartment where she was staying with her mother Madhu Chopra. After a “respectful meeting” which ended up with Jonas patting Priyanka’s back, the two met at 2017 Met Gala and after that, the two didn’t meet until next year’s Met Gala.
