These two make up one of the biggest celebrity couples around, and the state of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ marriage has been speculated on time and time again. In fact, just a week ago eagle-eyed fans noticed that Priyanka had dropped “Jonas” from her social media handles which led to whispers of a split. Those rumors were quelled when she and Nick were seen together at the Fashion Awards.
And now, she’s opening up about how she and Nick manage to make it work despite having a “long distance marriage.”
In a recent appearance on InStyle’s Ladies First With Lauren Brown podcast, she spoke about how the past year has been tough, especially with her being far away from her loved ones – including her husband:
“This year has been really, really tough. It was really, really tough to be away from home for an entire year, especially at a time when you can’t travel to see your family.
…Just the uncertainty of my mom and my brother being in India, my husband being in America while I was in the U.K. It just was so much uncertainty and that, to me, was terrifying of not being able to just get on a flight and travel, just in case something went wrong or something happened. But thankfully, you know, everyone was okay.”
She went on to share that she and Nick are prioritizing their relationship, even with the challenges of being apart:
“We didn’t have a dramatic separation but because he was in and out, we had to be really careful. He had to quarantine, I had to quarantine whenever we saw each other at that time. And that’s usually not conducive to a production schedule because you don’t really have much time. You have, like, two days off.
[It was] really tricky but we managed. He flew down a bunch of times, I flew down a couple of times. My mom came and stayed with me for almost five months, which was really nice.
“We know each other’s hearts and we prioritize each other in everything that we do. We’ve had individual careers and we’re both very clear about never interfering in each other’s professional lives because we’re always partners and assets. We’ll have an opinion on each other’s things, we’ll be each other champions but those decisions are predominantly for both of us to take, because we’ve built our careers by ourselves for such a long time.”
Priyanka also revealed that she and Nick talk all the time and that Nick has been very amazing when it comes to looking after her heart and their relationship:
“It’s very important to keep a check on another person’s heart and how they’re feeling. And I have to say, my husband’s amazing at doing that.
Like I said, this year was hard for me being in London. He would just drop everything — come in for even, like a day — just to have dinner with me and fly back. Stuff like that, you just have to prioritize each other and then everything feels right.”
