- Priyanka Chopra, 36, and Nick Jonas, 25, first met during the 2017 MET Gala event in May. The two walked the red carpet together posing side by side for photographs.

- The Quantico actress, however, rubbished the relationship rumours when Jimmy Kimmel took a dig at their age difference on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! It was the same week of the gala event.
"Are you dating Nick Jonas? Isn't he like, 11 years old?" Jimmy asked Priyanka. To which she laughed, "We were both wearing Ralph Lauren and we decided to go together. It was fun. I didn't ask his age. Eleven?" We were on the same table and we already know each other. So he was like 'Hey, you wanna go together?' And I was like 'Yeah, okay, let's go together.' It ended up working out."
- In October 2017, Priyanka once again got the tongues wagging when she congratulated Sophie Turner on her engagement with Joe Jonas, elder brother of Nick Jonas, on Instagram. "Yaaaaaaaaaaay!" she had commented.

"[Chopra and I] met through a mutual friend, who she did Quantico with — this guy Graham — and we met up like, in New York the first time, and the same day I think we found out that we were both going to the Met Gala with Ralph Lauren. And as strange as it sounds but we couldn't have planned it. We just had a great time. She's a lovely person and I'm dying now to go to India," Nick said in a statement in December 2017.
