Everyone’s favorite maybe-couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have been setting the Internet ablaze these past few days. They just spent the last week in India, where they reportedly attended a pre-engagement party together—and looked gorgeous in the process. Now they’re in Brazil, where Jonas just wrapped his performance at the VillaMix Festival. Of course Chopra was in the audience, and she posted something to her Instagram Stories last night that all but confirms she’s Jonas’ biggest fan.
The Quantico actress uploaded a video of Jonas on stage, presumably after he finished a song, and she captioned it “Him ?.” To drive the point home further, Chopra’s video zooms closer and closer onto Jonas’ face. (Side note: I wonder what her favorite Nick song is?)
See, guys? Chopra and Jonas are just like any other maybe-couple. They cheer each other on at work, pose for pictures together, and hide from dozens of paparazzi—ya know, normal people stuff.
Speaking of, there’s a few cute pics from Jonas and Chopra’s past week together: The first is from the night of Akash Ambani’s pre-engagement party. The second is a paparazzi shot of them together in Mumbai.

Rumors of Chopra and Jonas dating kicked off during the 2017 Met Gala last year. However, things really turned up a notch this past Memorial Day weekend, when they went to a baseball game, concert, and spent a day on a boat together. Nothing says “romance” like hanging out with Chord Overstreet and Wilmer Valderrama on a boat, am I right?
After months of romance rumors and paparazzi shots, Nick Jonas has finally made an appearance on Priyanka Chopra‘s Instagram feed.
Though the rumored pair have been leaving adorable comments on each others’ posts for the past month, they took things to a whole new level during a recent trip to India by gushing about each other on Instagram Stories.
The couple spent the earlier part of the week vacationing in India, where Priyanka reportedly introduced Nick to her family. She shared a shot of Nick and a man (who many outlets are reporting is her brother) standing on the beach in Goa with the caption, “My Favourite Men,” followed by a heart-eyed emoji.
The social media love from the dreamy-looking trip didn’t stop there: Last week, Nick shared a sweet photo of Priyanka to his own Instagram Story, and captioned it, “her.” Of course, he included a heart-eyed emoji of his own.

Speculation about Nick and Priyanka’s relationship status first began when they attended the 2017 Met Gala together (though they both denied it at the time). Rumors recently heated up when they were spotted together at a Jonas family wedding at the beginning of June. If the Instagram receipts are to be believed, it might be the real deal. At the end of May, a source told People that their relationship was “very casual,” and the pair had been “flirtatious and have been hanging out and text all the time.” But considering there’s now been two reported “meet the family” trips, it seems as though things are moving full steam ahead. Of course, nothing is confirmed until either of them says something. So take everything with a grain of salt for now.
“They’re very happy,” a source close to the couple told People more recently, ahead of the India trip. “It’s getting serious.”
All of that Instagram activity appeared to have wiped Priyanka out. On Wednesday, she posted a photo of herself asleep on an airplane with the caption, “When you’re exhausted from vacationing ???♀️#thestruggleisreal.” Nick Jonas hasn’t commented on it yet, but here’s hoping that will change very soon.
In case there were any last holdouts for the “Are Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas a couple or nah?” debate for the ages, the two are in India together right now reportedly meeting up with Chopra’s mom. So let’s unpack this!
On Friday, the 25-year-old singer and 35-year-old actress stepped out for dinner together in Mumbai, India, where they’re reportedly vacationing together. What’s more, the rumored twosome was apparently joined at dinner by Chopra’s mother, according to People.
Speculation that the actress and singer were dating first started when the pair showed up to Vogue‘s Met Gala together in May. (The Met Gala, by the way, is infamous for new-couple debuts; see Hailey Baldwin and Shawn Mendes’ 2018 joint attendance for proof.) It was the pair’s first public appearance together and sparked romance rumors almost immediately, with fans wondering whether the two were couple or just really good friends?
It’s worth mentioning that neither half of the couple has confirmed that they’re dating—and we can’t say whether they’re official or not until they do. But posting to his Instagram Stories on Friday, Jonas shared a sweet video of Chopra laughing, captioning it, simply, “Her”—along with an ever-suggestive heart-eyes emoji.
The only evidence we have of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s rumored relationship is a group shot of the pair on a boat during Memorial Day weekend and a series of (admittedly adorable) Instagram flirtations—well, until now. Photos have surfaced from this past weekend that seem to suggest Jonas and Chopra attended a wedding together.
The Daily Mail has the snaps, which show Jonas and Chopra walking arm-in-arm while reportedly attending the Atlantic City, New Jersey, wedding of one of Jonas’ cousins together. That’s right: The Quantico actress is already meeting the family—reportedly. In fact, Chopra can be seen sitting next to Jonas’ younger brother, Frankie, and parents Kevin Sr. and Denise in one of the shots. Jonas’ oldest brother, Kevin, was reportedly also in attendance and served as a groomsman, while his wife, Danielle, also joined the wedding party as a bridesmaid.
Jonas and Chopra were photographed last week at the airport together. Maybe they were traveling to this wedding!

For the beachside wedding, Jonas, 25, wore a dark navy suit over a black button-down shirt and white slip-on sneakers. Chopra, 35, turned up the glam in a gold silk wrap dress with a matching gold purse and strappy gold sandals. Chopra also reportedly joined the Jonases the next day for a casual post-wedding Sunday brunch; at the gathering, she wore a light, floral midi dress and sunglasses, while her date opted for jeans, a red plaid shirt, aviator sunglasses, and a navy blue baseball cap.
The duo first sparked dating rumors more than a year ago, when they walked the 2017 Met Gala red carpet together. Chopra brushed that speculation aside shortly after, however, telling Jimmy Kimmel, “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together because it was fun.” About a year later, the rumors have reignited, prompted by their MDW hangout, a subsequent outing to a Los Angeles Dodgers game, and, most recently, their newfound habit of leaving cutesy comments on each other’s Instagram posts (see below). If they keep this up, there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing Chopra at yet another Jonas family wedding very soon.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ relationship is keeping me up at night. Are they dating? Are they just friends who hang out on yachts together with former Glee stars? Your guess is as good as mine, TBH.
I mean, the evidence seems to be there, right? It all started at the 2017 Met Gala, which the two attended together and Chopra wore the earth’s longest trench coat. They weren’t rumored to be dating then, but after the event everyone was low-key shipping them. They’re charming celebrities, after all. In 2018, the only joy we have left is shipping charming celebrities.
Anyway, things reportedly heated up Memorial Day Weekend 2018 while I was eating Chipotle and watching old episodes of America’s Next Top Model. Jonas and Chopra supposedly went on two dates together: a baseball game and a live-orchestra performance of Beauty and the Beast. They also hung out on that aforementioned yacht and posed for photos I haven’t stopped looking at for two straight weeks. You can read the full story of their maybe-relationship inception here. It’s hot. It’s juicy. It features a photo of Jonas wearing suspect one-strap suspenders.
Those suspenders make an appearance below, too, in this Very Serious Investigation I conducted of Jonas and Chopra’s Instagram activity. If the whole Garrett-from-The Bachelorette controversy taught us anything, it’s that a double-tap has serious implications. Chopra and Jonas have double-tapped each other on the ‘Gram no less than 10 times—so, obviously, that means an engagement is just around the corner. Kidding, but could you imagine? The royal wedding would be shook.
You’ll be shook, as well, once you realize how much Chopra and Jonas have publicly interacted on Instagram. Things started out simple, with a series of photo “likes.” Jonas is clearly the thirstiest of the two, because he’s double-tapped more than Chopra.
Behold, Jonas’ likes:
Loving the fact Instagram put Millie Bobby Brown’s “like” before Jonas’ here. Stranger Things‘ impact.

And now onto Chopra’s taps. Most of them are from photos where Jonas just looks hot AF. Relatable.
The suspenders! But, also, the arms.

But let’s get to the good stuff, shall we? Chopra and Jonas’ comments to each other. There are only three of them, and they’re boring. I can’t stop re-reading them, naturally.
First, Chopra commented on a photo of Jonas and DJ Mustard with the double-heart and fire emojis.

Fast-forward to this past weekend, when Jonas wrote “That smile” underneath a pic of Chopra and her friends laughing and eating In-N-Out Burger.
Side bar: Of course Chopra and her friends look like majestic swans when they eat burgers. Meanwhile, I’m over here with the same meal looking like:
Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Just this past week, Chopra commented on this photo Jonas posted of himself and a koala:”Who is cuter? Lol,” she wrote. The answer is, obviously, the koala. Nick Jonas isn’t “cute.” He’s the flame emoji come to life.
As is his rumored relationship with Chopra. Seriously, if these two are actually a thing, the world will implode from the sheer hotness of it. Instagram has the receipts, but what is the truth? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Throw on your extra-long Ralph Lauren trench coats and bust out your magnifying glasses, because we have a mystery on our hands that’s sending millennials into a tizzy: Are Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra dating?
What? You haven’t heard of the alleged romance between the patron saint of muscle shirts and Duchess Meghan Markle’s best friend? Well, fasten one strap of your suspenders and get comfy. This story goes all the way back to—well, it doesn’t go back that far.
Just to May 2017, when the singer and the Quantico actress attended the Met Gala together wearing Ralph Lauren outfits. They arrived in a large bus and took pics on the carpet, and Chopra’s trench coat was bigger than my thirst for Jonas. It was a moment—a moment that caused anyone under the age of 30 to think, “NICK JONAS AND PRIYANKA CHOPRA ARE DATING.”

They played coy, of course, appearing on talk shows and essentially being like, “lolz, rumors.” “I’m single,” Jonas said in June 2017, a few weeks after the Met Gala. “[Chopra] and I knew each other from before.”
Chopra sticked to a similar script when she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel’s show around the same time. “Yeah, we were on the same table and we already know each other. So he was like ‘Hey, you wanna go [to the Met Gala] together?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, let’s go together.’ It ended up working out.” Both are harmless and dull responses. Naturally, I’m watching them on a loop. (So you should, too. They’re below.)
Fast-forward to Memorial Day Weekend 2018, though, and it certainly seems like some steaminess is in the air.
Us Weekly is straight-up reporting that Jonas and Chopra are dating. “It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other,” a source tells the magazine, which, honestly, doesn’t mean all that much. Hot people are interested in hot people! This quote is like saying the sky is blue or that Joe the Grocery Store Owner deserved better on Monday night’s Bachelorette premiere. It’s an obvious statement.
Us Weekly also reports Chopra and Jonas went on two dates over Memorial Day weekend, and we have proof of one of them.
Eagle-eyed fans caught the two celebrities at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Saturday (May 26). I think I speak for everyone when I say this person’s caption is spot-on: “Do we stan Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas being at the same game? We definitely stan.” Yes, we do.
They also reportedly attended the Beauty and the Beast Live show at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, May 25. “They walked in together just before the performance was starting, they looked great together, but no hand-holding or obvious PDA,” a source tells Us Weekly. So, in other words, they sat next to each other, looked pretty, and talked about pretty-people things. Sounds like a maybe-probably-who-knows celebrity relationship to me.
But let’s get to the real receipts, shall we?
Sometime between watching baseball and singing “Be Our Guest,” Chopra went with Jonas on a yacht, as celebrities do. They were accompanied by other stars who you like but probably haven’t thought of in a while, like Chord Overstreet (of “Trouty Mouth” fame), Wilmer Valderrama, and the second best part of Scream Queens Glen Powell. (I shouldn’t have to tell you the first.) Two photos have emerged of Chopra and Jonas on this Yacht of 2015 TV Dreams. In one, they’re just sitting next to each other at dinner, which is boring so let’s blaze past it.
BUT IN THE OTHER ONE: Jonas has his arm wrapped around Chopra, and they’re sitting under a blanket. A blanket! There are only two reasons why you’d be that close to another person: either to spill every detail of the royal wedding or to cuddle. And because Chopra’s no-doubt exhausted by now talking about Markle’s floral arrangements, the latter is very probable. Sure, maybe they were just cold, but also: Maybe. They’re. Dating.
Let’s also consider the fact that Chopra and Jonas have been liking each other’s thirst traps on Instagram for months now. The only people I do that to are my crushes and, like, John Cena:

The Internet’s already decided these two are an item. The tweets celebrating—and freaking out over—this possible courtship have the kind of passion you’d expect from Nick Jonas fans. Below, some of the best ones:
So, what’s our conclusion? Are Chopra and Jonas dating or not? I hate to be a drag, but we can’t say for sure until one of them confirms. The evidence is mounting, though, and as Kris Jenner would say:
