They first met at a Vanity Fair Oscars party, and later went to the Met Gala together before officially dating.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have a whirlwind romance for the ages. Despite first interacting in 2016 — in which Jonas slid into his future wife’s DMs — the pair didn’t actually meet in person until 2017. Even then, they weren’t “official” until 2018. However, after just two months of dating, the couple got engaged in July before tying the knot mere months later in December. While their 10-year age gap initially worried Chopra, who is ten years Jonas’ senior, she revealed to Hoda Kotb on TODAY, after their first date, “I realized my husband is just like an old soul. He’s stability in human form.”
Since tying the knot, the heartthrob singer — one-third of the iconic Jonas Brothers boy band dynasty — and his uber-talented actress wife have gone on to welcome a baby girl into their family, and their love only seems to grow stronger with age. From their first red carpet appearance to the birth of their baby girl, to the present day, here’s a complete look at the couple’s relationship timeline.

I mean, people slide into my DMs, but no one has ever asked me…literally, like his message was, ‘I’ve been told we should meet.’ How co*cky, so sexy.”
