Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas remain one of the most beloved celebrity couples in the spotlight. On a recent episode of Hey Jonas, Nick opened up about proposing to the actress on July 19, 2018, just two months into their relationship. The couple had jetted off to Greece to celebrate Priyanka‘s birthday, which falls on July 18, and Nick planned to pop the question at midnight the following day. However, a delayed flight threw his carefully arranged surprise off track, leaving him on edge that things wouldn’t go as planned. Priyanka, for her part, recalled being puzzled by Nick’s nervousness throughout the trip, with no idea that a proposal was on the horizon.
Nick Jonas on his nervous countdown
Nick shared the anxious moments before his proposal to Priyanka, revealing how unexpected delays nearly derailed his carefully laid plan. “When we got engaged, I had this plan to do it at midnight after her birthday. Our flight is delayed, which is putting us back 3-4 hours,” Nick said, explaining that he was constantly calculating the timing in his head while Priyanka remained unaware. “Now I am doing the time in my head, and she is like ‘What are you stressed about?’”, recalled Nick.
Nick Jonas kept Priyanka in the dark
Priyanka admitted she had absolutely no idea what was in store. “I don’t know this. I think we are just going for a holiday,” she said. Nick shared that they eventually landed in Greece well behind schedule, spending the dinner nervously keeping track of the time. “I am looking at the clock the whole time. And I am like this is going to be a disaster. We are not going to get it right,” he shared. Priyanka, on her end, sensed something was off but simply put it down to Nick’s personality. “I was wondering why is he anxious on this holiday? Is this the kind of person he is?” she joked.
Nick Jonas finally pops the question
At around 2:30 am, right as Priyanka mentioned heading to bed, Nick told her he had one more gift for her. He walked back to get the ring, then dropped to one knee to propose. Nick recalled that Priyanka’s yes didn’t come immediately, she spent close to a minute simply staring at him while he waited nervously with the ring. “I said I have one more gift for you. I went back to the room, grabbed the ring and proposed. And it all worked out the way it did. But she didn’t say yes right away. It took her like 40-50 seconds. She was staring at me. I was on my knee like, ‘Should I put the ring on?’” he recalled. Priyanka, however, clarified that he had already slipped the ring on before she gave her answer.
