Priyanka Chopra, 42, Reveals Why Her Mom Was 'Mad' When She Brought Nick Jonas, 32, Home originally appeared on Parade.
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.
