Priyanka Chopra shared with Harper’s Bazaar that she sought honesty, family values, professionalism, creativity, and ambition in a partner before dating Nick Jonas. Respect was crucial for her.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas married in 2018.
Priyanka Chopra reflected on the time she first considered dating singer Nick Jonas. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she shared that she wanted a partner who valued family and had a list of non-negotiables for the man she would be with.
“The first was honesty, because there were times in some of my previous relationships when I’d been hurt by dishonesty. The second was that he had to appreciate the value of family. Third: he had to take his profession very seriously, because I take mine very seriously. Fourth: I wanted someone who was creative and had the imagination to dream big with me. And fifth: I wanted someone who had drive and ambition, like I did,” she said in the interview.
“I wouldn’t have married him if he didn’t. You have to look for someone who respects you. Respect is different from love and affection… You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs until you find your prince,” she added.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot in both Christian and Hindu ceremonies at Jodhpur’s Umaid Bhawan Palace on December 1 and 2, 2018. In January 2022, the couple announced the birth of their daughter, Malti Marie, via surrogacy.
Priyanka Chopra is back in Mumbai, taking a break from shooting her much-anticipated film SSMB29 with Mahesh Babu in Hyderabad to celebrate her brother Siddharth Chopra’s wedding. Siddharth got engaged to actress Neelam Upadhyaya in August 2024, and the festivities have officially begun at Priyanka’s Mumbai residence.
On Saturday, Priyanka shared a delightful sneak peek from her family’s sangeet rehearsals and bonding sessions. Captioning the post “Shaadi ka ghar…!!” she wrote, “And it begins tomorrow — mere bhai ki shaadi @siddharthchopra89 with @neelamupadhyaya! Sangeet practice to fam jams. So good to be home — my heart is full, and so is my schedule. Who said a wedding is easy? No one… but is it fun? Absolutely! Looking forward to the next few days.”
