Although the beloved Hollywood couple fell in love fast after their 2016 DM exchange, the Love Again<\/em> actress was involved in a few long-term and private romances<\/a> before they wed.<\/p>\n Priyanka admitted that she \u201ckind of\u201d wanted Nick to give her his number when he did but didn\u2019t fully feel comfortable expressing her interest because she \u201cwas in a relationship<\/a>\u201d at the time, which she deemed as \u201ctumultuous.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is [2016]. And we had common friends who didn\u2019t want me to be in my relationship and were like, \u2018Oh, [Nick is] single too. He\u2019s really not with that girl, but he is.\u2019 It was complicated on both our ends,\u201d she said during a March 2023 appearance on Dax Shepard<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s \u201cArmchair Expert\u201d podcast, seemingly referring to Lily Collins<\/strong><\/a>. \u201c[Kevin Jonas<\/strong><\/a>] pointed at me on a billboard, and he was like, \u2018You should call her.\u2019 And so, he had a few people being like, \u2018Call her.\u2019 So he just DM\u2019d me. And I was like, \u2018Why don\u2019t you text me, because my social team can read these messages.\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just wanted to give me your number.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Priyanka, who shares daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas<\/a> with Nick, also admitted that their 10-year age difference<\/a> was initially a \u200bconcern for her before finding out that the Jonas Brother is a \u201c70-year-old man stuck in a 30-year-old\u2019s body.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was at the end of my last long relationship before Nick. So I didn\u2019t want to engage as much at that time. I was also, like, 35; Nick was 25,\u201d the Miss World 2000 winner continued. \u201cI really put a stop on it in a way, because I judged the book by the cover. I was like, \u2018I wanna settle down. I have been there and done the fun dating<\/a> things.\u2019 \u2026 I was ready to get serious.\u201d<\/p>\n Although the Baywatch<\/em> star openly talks about her modernly beautiful love story<\/a> with Nick, she has remained tight-lipped about her exes and rarely reveals their identity. However, some of her exes have reflected on their past relationships<\/a> with Priyanka, like Harman Baweja<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Love Story 5050<\/em> costars turned their professional relationship into a full-blown romance; however, work always came first between them.<\/p>\n \u201cI blame myself. She kept asking me to give her time but I didn\u2019t. I couldn\u2019t. After two flop [movies], I felt a lot of pressure to do well in my third film. I got too engrossed in it. I got too close to the project,\u201d he told India Today about their breakup.<\/p>\n
