Actress Priyanka Chopra has revealed that her husband Nick Jonas saw her for the first time 23 years ago when she was crowned Miss World aged 23. In a recent appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ Peewee recounted a conversation with her mother-in-law, who had remembered watching her win the prestigious beauty pageant in London in 2000.
Denise Miller-Jonas recalled the event, sharing that the young beauty queen captivated Kevin Sr, Priyanka’s father-in-law, who loved watching pageants. In an incredible twist of fate, a seven-year-old Nick sat beside his father and watched Priyanka claim the Miss World crown. While she was initially skeptical, as the Jonas family was living in Texas then, Denise insisted that Nick had watched the pageant and seen her win.
Priyanka recalled, “When my mother-in-law told me that story, I was like 'I don't know...'. When I had just turned 18, I won the Miss World pageant. This was in London. This was November and I turned 18 in July. A complete child and I had no idea what I was doing or what this world entailed, didn't have a lot of practice. Apparently, my mother-in-law was like ‘I remember watching you when you won!’ I was in London, this is 2000. They were in Texas. I was like, 'There's no way!’”
The couple has been married for four years and share a daughter Marie Malti Chopra Jonas. Priyanka opened up about motherhood, revealing that having a daughter with Nick has been “the most incredible experience.” She explained that being a mother has taught her “patience and gratitude” and she is excited to watch her daughter grow up. The couple recently starred together in the film ‘Love Again.’
