Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' Met Gala Story: Red Carpet To Real Love

In a world where meet-cutes rarely happen, especially if you’re talking about celebrities, Priyanka and Nick’s story stands out as a perfect example of right place, right timing. Their story started at the world’s most glamorous fashion event of them all, The Met Gala, and what began as a accidental meeting, bloomed into something so pure and true that all of the world talks about it, even now.

Before the Met Gala or any other outings in person, Nick Jonas had already made his bold move in September 2016, when he slid into Priyanka’s DMs with a fun and flirty text. She responded with equal humor, and while it was a friendly chat, they did not meet in person for months.

“I’m hearing from a few people that we should meet," this is the message that Nick sent to PeeCee.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas met at the 2017 Met Gala Carpet. Priyanka posed for the cameras in a jaw-dropping a stunning Ralph Lauren trench coat gown with a sky-high collar and a dramatic train. Standing beside her, in a slick black, embroidered Ralph Lauren tux, was none other than Nick Jonas. The two stood and posed together for the cameras, happy and displaying loving smiles. The photos instantly sparked dating rumors. The internet was going wild over the assumption of them being a couple when in reality, they had only gotten to meet each other once.

After the Met Gala, they stayed in touch and talked through social media. They often ran into each other at common events, but still, no major sparks flew immediately. Nick once described their relationship in 2017 as a beautiful friendship with lots of respect.

As 2018 came, both of them were spotted at multiple events together, like the Dodgers games, yacht parties, and dinner outings. By then it was clear that they were dating.

In July 2018, Nick proposed Priyanka in a classic romantic style. He shut down the entire Tiffany & Co. store in New York to pick the perfect ring for her. Nick went down on one knee, at midnight, on her birthday, with a perfect cushion-cut diamond. She took 45 seconds- as counted by our eager groom to be- to reply because she was shocked out of her mind. Their engagement went public a few days later and took the internet by storm. The world was incredibly happy for the power couple.

In December 2018, Priyanka and Nick got married in a multi-day celebration in India at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur. The wedding was a fusion of Western culture and a desi twist. Their wedding included two parts, an original Christian wedding which was officiated by Nick’s father, and then a traditional grand Indian wedding, where Priyanka. Their wedding also included multiple pre-wedding events, according to the Hindu culture, like haldi, mehendi, sangeet, and puja.

As we speak, the couple has embraced parenthood. They are happy and proud parents of their young daughter Malti Marie. Nick and Priyanka's world revolves around the their little princess.

After two years of their first spotting, at the 2017 Met Gala, the couple made their first appearance as a married pair in the 2019 Met Gala. This time, the theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”, encouraging over-the-top styles and bold statements. Priyanka was in a Dior Haute Couture silver gown with a feathered cape, spiked crown, and dramatic eye makeup, while Nick donned a white Dior suit with rhinestones and glam accessories. The couple truly remains iconic to date.
