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.
Kevin Jonas recalled asking Nick whether he had watched Quantico, the ABC drama series starring Priyanka. Although Nick admitted he hadn't seen the show, he explained that seeing Priyanka on a billboard inspired him to reach out.
Joe Jonas then read Nick's opening message exactly as it was sent, "Hello. I've heard from a few people that we should meet. I have to agree with these people. Are you in LA anytime soon?"
Priyanka Chopra's Reply Moved The Conversation Forward
Kevin followed by reading Priyanka's response, which shifted their conversation away from social media.
"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."
