Nick and Priyanka listened as Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas read out their first exchange. Sitting together and holding hands, the couple laughed through the nostalgic moment, clearly amused by how their story first unfolded.

"Hey... Graham's told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this."

The exchange referenced their mutual friend Graham Rogers, who had encouraged them to get in touch.

Looking back, Nick revealed the message was sent "about a year and a half" before they officially began dating in May 2018. Reflecting on it, he simply said, "It's a sensible message."
