Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Relationship Started With a DM

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra truly have a modern-day love story. The couple first connected on social media in 2016 when Jonas slid into Chopra's DMs. A few months later, the two finally met in person at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in February 2017, where Jonas admitted he dropped down on one knee to show Chopra how much he was already invested in her. "I put my drink down," he recalled in a December 2018 Vogue interview. "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."
