Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are engaged now after a few months of dating, a source told People. It feels like only yesterday that the duo had us speculating about dating rumors and obsessing over their flirtatious Instagram comments.
If you need clarification on the couple’s whirlwind romance, from how they met each other, to how they met each other’s families, look no further.
Before May 2017: They meet for the first time.
In December 2017, Jonas reportedly told Indo Asian News Service about his “new friend” Priyanka Chopra. He revealed they first met before attending the Met Gala together.
“We 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 are both going to the MET gala with Ralph Lauren,” he said.
That mutual friend could be Graham Rogers, who stars in Quantico with Chopra and costarred with Jonas in the film Careful What You Wish For in 2015.
May 1, 2017: They attend the Met Gala together.
The duo arrived to the Met Gala red carpet together, both wearing Ralph Lauren ensembles. Chopra’s look was a tench coat-inspired gown with an epic 20-feet train that completely took over the museum stairway.
May 10, 2017: Priyanka dishes on her Met Gala date.
Shortly after the Met Gala appearance, Chopra appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. When the late night host pried on whether she was dating Jonas, the actress dismissed the speculation. “We were both wearing Ralph Lauren and we decided to go together. It was fun.”
“We were at the same table. I mean, we know each other so we were just like, ‘Hey let’s go together,’ and I was like, ‘Okay, let’s go together.’ And it just ended up working out,” she added.

May 31, 2018: They went on an affectionate dinner date.
Fans spotted the couple having dinner together in West Hollywood.
“They were very affectionate with each other and seemed to not care who saw,” a witness told People. “Priyanka ran her hands through his hair at one point and they were laughing and even dancing to the music.”
Early June 2018: They conspicuously flirt on Instagram.
The duo went on a commenting spree, nearly confirming their relationship on social media. Nick kicked it off by writing “that smile with love” on a photo of Priyanka laughing with her friends.
The Quantico star later wrote love/fire on one of the singer’s posts.
She also commented “Who is cuter?” on a selfie Jonas posted with a koala in Australia.
June 9, 2018: Chopra meets the Jonases at a family wedding.
Jonas and Chopra were seen at JFK airport together, though it was unclear at the time where the couple was headed. It turns out, Nick took the actress as his plus one to his cousin’s wedding in Atlantic City. (His brother Kevin Jonas was a groomsman.)
It was “a huge deal” that the singer brought his new signifiant other to the family affair, a source close to Jonas told People. “He’s dated a lot over the last couple yearsbut it’s never been anything serious, so this is a big step,” the insider added.

“It’s getting serious,” a source close to the couple said at the time. The pair was also seen out in Mumbai together, showing some sweet PDA.
Chopra was also seen wearing a gold ring on her finger, which Nick was seen wearing during their previous appearance at JFK. Either the actress was accessorizing with her boyfriend’s jewelry, or the couple got matching bands.

While in India, Jonas broke his silence on his relationship with Priyanka by posting a video of her on his Instagram story. “Her Love,” he captioned the post.
