Priyanka Chopra, 42, Reveals Why Her Mom Was ‘Mad' When She Brought Nick Jonas, 32, Home
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have proven to be one of the strongest couples in Hollywood, though the Quantico actress revealed that her mom was "so mad" the first time she brought the "Lovebug" singer home.
While appearing on the Thursday, July 3, episode of the "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, Chopra, 42, explained that she and her mother, Madhu Chopra, were 'sharing an apartment' when she and Jonas, 32, 'met in person' ahead of their joint Met Gala appearance.
'[At] the end of the night, we went back to my place,' Chopra told host Kylie Kelce, explaining that they were 'just [going] to hang out" and it wasn't a romantic situation.

As the Carlyle in New York City was closing, Chopra recalled telling Jonas, "My mom's home. She might be awake."
While Jonas agreed to continue their night together, Chopra admitted she 'forgot to tell' her mother that she was 'bringing a boy back' at 1 a.m. The pair then stumbled into the apartment as her mother 'laid out on the couch watching [Law & Order] SVU.'
Chopra said that her mother was 'so mad' she wasn't given a warning, adding, 'She ran to her bedroom [and] was like, 'You should have told me.''
The Love Again actress recalled that her mother said she was 'putting on her lipstick' and insisted she was "not coming back out.'
While most people wouldn't want their parents to be involved on a first date, Chopra told Kelce, 33, that she and Jonas did not consider the hangout to be a date.
'We met to kind of see what it was,' she explained. 'Then he gave me a hug at the end of the night, and I thought I'd really royally screwed it up. … [He] patted me on the back twice.'
While Chopra believed she was in the friend zone after their first meeting, she and Jonas continued texting 'for about a year' before they 'went out for a proper date and then never stopped dating.'
The couple got engaged in July 2018, and they tied the knot in December of that year. Chopra and Jonas expanded their family when they welcomed their daughter, Malti, 3, in January 2022 via surrogate.

Pride event goes ahead despite funding concerns
A Pride event has gone ahead despite previous concerns it would have to be cancelled because organisers had failed to raise enough money. Previous Worthing Pride parades had cost about £6,000, with a main sponsor usually covering half that amount. In April, event organiser Gary Richardson said he had unsuccessfully been trying to secure sponsorship. But the two-day event returned to Steyne Gardens on Friday. The event is being headlined by Natasha Hamilton on Saturday, who is best known for being part of pop group Atomic Kitten. Louisa Johnson, who won season 12 of The X Factor, was also scheduled to perform. Hundreds attended the event in 2024, with about 500 people expected to have taken part in the parade.

Justin Bieber's Global Smashes Rises To A New Peak Amidst His Musical Hiatus
Justin Bieber's 'Let Me Love You' with DJ Snake hits a new peak at No. 138 on the Billboard Global ... More Excl. U.S., nearly a decade after its release. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 13: Justin Bieber attends The 2021 Met Gala Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue ) Much of Justin Bieber's musical output predates the introduction of Billboard's global charts, which arrived in 2020. By that point, he was already one of the world's most successful pop musicians, and he had scored dozens of hits all around the planet. Despite that minor handicap, the Canadian Grammy winner has still managed to land many tracks on the global rosters, and he regularly appears with at least a song or two, even though he hasn't promoted anything brand new in a long time – something his fans have taken notice of. One of Bieber's more popular collaborations is on the rise on one of Billboard's worldwide lists at the moment. Almost a decade after it was released, the tune reaches a new all-time peak. "Let Me Love You" Jumps to a New Chart Peak "Let Me Love You," Bieber's collaboration with electronic producer DJ Snake, jumps almost 10 spaces on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. ranking. That tally ranks the most consumed songs all around the planet, with streams and sales originating from American consumers removed. The smash slithers from No. 147 to No. 138, a position that now marks a new high point for the tune. One of Justin Bieber's Longest-Charting Tunes Of Bieber's 32 songs that have reached the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., "Let Me Love You" still ranks as one of his lowest-charting, as it's only climbed to No. 138. It sits toward the bottom of his collection of wins on the tally, in terms of peak position. That said, it's also one of his longer-running successes, as the catchy dance-pop tune is about to reach half a year on the list. 'Let Me Love You' Vs. 'Lean On' For DJ Snake, "Let Me Love You" is his longest-charting release. Its 25 weeks on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. easily outpace the 10 frames that "Lean On," his collaboration with Major Lazer and MØ, collected. But as is the case with Bieber, longevity doesn't always equal a lofty high point, as several of DJ Snake's other tunes have climbed to significantly higher peaks, though they haven't held on for quite as long. "Let Me Love You" and 'Despacito' Climb Together Bieber fills a pair of spots on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this week, and both of his wins are climbing. As "Let Me Love You" advances to a new peak, "Despacito," his blockbuster team-up with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, pushes a few spaces north to No. 183. That tune has lived on the tally for much longer than "Let Me Love You" — 108 weeks versus 25 — and has climbed higher, as it previously stalled at No. 104.
