Priyanka Chopra made brave admission about significant age gap between her and Nick Jonas
Priyanka Chopra has opened up about the start of her relationship with husband Nick Jonas, revealing it was far from plane sailing.
Priyanka, 41, and Nick, 31, have been married for nearly six years, after tying the knot back in December 2018.
They also welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie, back in January 2022, who was born via surrogate.

Priyanka has previously opened up about her decision to use a surrogate, explaining that it was medically necessary in her case.
"This was a necessary step, and I'm so grateful I was in a position where I could do this," the actor told British Vogue.
“Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months."
In a message to her critics, she added: "You don't know me. You don't know what I've been through.
"And just because I don't want to make my medical history, or my daughter's, public doesn't give you the right to make up whatever the reasons were."
Priyanka also spoke about Malti arriving three months premature, recalling how she was ‘smaller’ than her hand.
"I know what it felt like to hold her little hands when they were trying to find her veins,” she said.
"I've been really protective of this chapter of my life with my daughter. Because it's not about my life only. It's hers too."
While they might be happily married now, Priyanka recently revealed that when Nick first slid into her DMs many years ago, she wasn't entirely sure about dating him.
Discussing their relationship on the Armchair Expert podcast, Priyanka explained that Nick had first messaged her on social media two years before they got together.
They ended up meeting in person a year later, in 2017, but it wasn't until 2018 that they first started dating.
"I didn't want to engage as much at the time...I was also like 35, Nick was 25," she explained.
"I really put a stop to it in a way because I judged the book by the cover. I said, 'I wanna settle down. I have been there and done the fun dating things. was like ready to get serious.'
"I kept making the same mistakes. A lot of the pattern in my relationships was me feeling gaslit because I gave that kind of power to the people that I was with, where I was like, 'You come first.'"
Once the pair started dating in May 2018, they became engaged just a few months later and married the same year.
