Jonas, Chopra engaged after whirlwind romance
Young love and its impetuous ways. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are engaged following a whirlwind, two-month romance.
It’s the latest celebrity trend. The pop star and former “Quantico” actress follow in the footsteps of recently engaged Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson, and Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin.
All three couples dated for just weeks before deciding they were ready to settle down, although Bieber and Baldwin had dated previously before their recent reunion. Now the race is on. Which couple gets to the altar first?
Jonas and Chopra became engaged in London last week as they celebrated Chopra’s 36th birthday, according to People magazine. Jonas, 25, reportedly shut down a Tiffany & Co. store in search of the perfect rock. “His friends and family have never seen him like this, and they’re all really excited for him,” a source told People. “He’s definitely very serious about her.”
The pair met through mutual friend Graham Rogers, Chopra’s co-star on ABC’s recently canceled “Quantico.” They attended the 2017 Met Gala together, but didn’t begin dating until May of this year. “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren. And we decided to go together because it was fun,” she explained of their shared 2017 appearance during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live” interview.
Kimmel joked that the former Jonas Brothers singer was all of 11 years old. “I didn’t ask his age. 11? I did not know that. Good to know,” Chopra replied.
She and Jonas have been traveling together extensively in the past two months, with paparazzi catching them in such places as New York, Los Angeles, London and India, where they attended a friend’s wedding and Jonas was introduced to Chopra’s mother, Madhu.
“I think he really enjoyed it,” Chopra previously told People of their visit to her home country. “It was really beautiful. He had a great time.”
“We’re getting to know each other and I think it was a great experience for him,” she also said.
Jonas’ older brother Joe, 28, announced his engagement to “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner in October. Oldest brother Kevin, 30, has been married to Danielle Jonas since 2009.
