Priyanka Chopra on Why Her Marriage to Nick Jonas Works So Well After 3 Years
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary in London earlier this month, and Chopra generously gave Entertainment Tonightsome insight about what has made their relationship work so well,
even with the long distance due to their work commitments.
“I think just being honest and needing each other’s company, obviously,” Chopra said. “Communication, having fun with each other. I think that’s the most important key, is to be able to enjoy each other’s company and just have a good time. And it doesn’t feel like work.”
At the end of November, Chopra spoke on InStyle's Ladies First With Laura Brown podcast about how she and Jonas spent part of this year apart due to Chopra’s London projects and COVID pandemic restrictions, which made it harder to travel back and forth.
“We didn’t have a dramatic separation but because he was in and out, we had to be really careful,” she said. “He had to quarantine; I had to quarantine whenever we saw each other at that time, and that’s usually not conducive to a production schedule because you don’t really have much time. You have like, two days off. So it was all really tricky but we managed. He flew out a bunch of times; I flew down a couple times. My mom came and stayed with me for almost five months, which was really nice.”
Generally, “we talk all the time,” Chopra said of Jonas. “We know each other’s hearts. We prioritize each other in everything that we do. We’ve had individual careers, and we’re both very clear about never interfering in each other’s professional lives because we’re always partners and assets. We’ll have an opinion on each other’s thing; we’ll be each other’s champions, but those decisions are predominately for both of us to take because we’ve built our careers by ourselves for such a long time. But I think at the same time, it’s really important to keep a check on the other person’s heart and how they’re feeling and prioritizing that and I have to say, my husband’s amazing at doing that. Like I said, this year was hard for me being in London. He would just drop everything, come in for even like, a day, just have dinner with me, and then fly back. Stuff like that, you just have to prioritize each other and then everything feels right.”
