Priyanka Chopra first walked the red carpet of the prestigious Met Gala in 2017 and it just so happened that the man she was walking with, turned out to be her partner for life. Nick Jonas was paired with Priyanka at the Met Gala red carpet as they were both wearing Ralph Lauren that year and the next year, the couple was married. On the red carpet of Met Gala 2023, Nick and Priyanka spoke to Emma Chamberlain and said that the Met Gala was like “the beginning of our love story.”

Emma asked Priyanka and Nick if this was like a date night for them and Nick jumped in, “It is. And for us, it is like the beginning of our love story.” Nick recalled that this happened almost “6-7 years” ago. Priyanka shared, “We walked the carpet, my first Met and Nick was kind enough to escort me on behalf of Ralph Lauren at that time.”

“I was just there to mange her train,” Nick laughed. Priyanka’s trench coat dress generated quite a lot of memes because of her long train.

When Emma commented that they “kind of fell in love here,” Nick nodded in affirmation and Priyanka said, “I think so. Maybe. It’s a special carpet for us.”

Previously, on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert, Priyanka had opened up about her first experience at the Met Gala and Nick being a “complete gentleman.” She said, “We got onto the carpet, he’d adjust my dress. He was a complete gentleman. And he steps aside so I get a moment, and then he met people he knew. The carpet was over, he had taken care of me and he kind of walked away.”

Priyanka recalled that even at the exhibition, after the red carpet, Nick stood by her side. She recalled the moment when she was in a room full of celebrities and was starting to feel a little overwhelmed. “I just remember this moment felt like it stretched for 10 minutes. And Nick came back in my view and gave me his hand and he said, ‘Shall we?'”

Priyanka and Nick got married in 2018 and welcomed their daughter Malti Marie in 2022.
