Priyanka Chopra recalls being in a relationship when Nick Jonas slid into her DMs

Priyanka Chopra wasn't in the best romance before she called Nick Jonas her lovebug.

The actress took a trip down memory lane to recall how she and Nick first connected back in 2016—a year after his breakup from Olivia Culpo and during a time when Priyanka was in a complicated relationship with someone else.

"He slid into my DMs on Twitter," Priyanka said of Nick during the March 27 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast. "I was in a tumultuous relationship at that time. We had common friends who didn't want me to be in my relationship and were like, ‘Oh, he's single too. He's really not with that girl but he is.' It was complicated on both our ends."

Looking back on the habits in her love life before Nick, Priyanka shared that some of her exes were "a little bit narcissistic."

"I kept making the same mistakes," Priyanka said. "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.'"
