Priyanka Chopra Thought Nick Jonas Friend-Zoned After First Meeting With Mom

Priyanka Chopra Jonas recounted the awkward first meeting between her mother, Madhu Chopra, and her now-husband Nick Jonas, which took place after the 2017 Met Gala when she brought Nick home at 1 a.m. without informing her mother in advance. Madhu was upset to be caught off guard while watching Law & Order: SVU and went to her bedroom, expressing frustration that Priyanka had not given her a heads-up. Priyanka described the night as a casual hangout rather than a date and initially thought Nick had friend-zoned her after he gave her a brief hug and patted her back twice. Despite this awkward start, they stayed in touch via texts for about a year before officially dating and eventually marrying. Priyanka also shared on the "Not Gonna Lie" podcast that their relationship and family life, including their daughter Malti, have brought her great joy and comfort. The story highlights both the challenges and humor in the beginnings of one of Hollywood's beloved couples.
