Former The Voice Coach Nick Jonas and actress Priyanka Chopra called their connection “instantaneous” — so much so they were married within months of their first date.
With becoming a teen heartthrob with his brothers, a thrivingcareer as a solo artist, and even stint as a Coach onThe Voice,Nick Jonas tayed busy — but that hasn’t stopped him from marrying the love of his life and starting a beautiful family.
Jonas just gave his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, an Instagram shoutout for her 41st birthday on July 18, writing, “I love celebrating you. Happy birthday my love.”

“It was kind of an instant thing,” Jonas toldEntertainment Tonight. “I knew once we locked in together that I had a partner for life, and a teammate — someone I could walk through the good times and bad times with, and that was the key.”
The two first met in 2016 at Vanity Fair’s Oscars party, and say their connection was immediate.
“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 ET.
Chopra was similarly in awe.
The two began texting and Jonas asked her on a few dates, but she told ET she initially turned him down because she’d just been through a breakup.
The two met again at the 2017 Met Gala, but it wasn’t until May 2018 that he convinced her to go on a date with him.
“He was smart. He told me, ‘I have a few tickets. I’m going with my friends if you would like to come,’” Chopra told ET. “So, he disarmed me by not having the pressure of just him and I. He had three of his friends. I brought a friend of mine. We went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl. It was beautiful.”
