Singer-actor Nick Jonas and actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas took a trip down memory lane as they revisited the first direct messages they exchanged before they started dating, sharing the amusing moment on the recent episode of the Hey Jonas podcast, according to E! News.

The couple, who tied the knot in December 2018, looked back at their early Twitter conversation while Nick's brothers, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas, read the messages aloud. Holding hands, Nick and Priyanka could not hide their embarrassment as they listened to their first exchange.

Setting the context, Kevin Jonas recalled asking his younger brother whether he had watched Quantico, the ABC thriller series starring Priyanka from 2015 to 2018. Although Nick admitted he had not seen the show, he said he was prompted to contact Priyanka after seeing her on a billboard promoting the series. Reading Nick's first message, Joe Jonas quoted, "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?"

Kevin then read Priyanka's response, saying, "Hey... Graham's told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this," according to E! News.

The exchange referred to their mutual friend Graham Rogers, who had encouraged the two to connect, according to E! News. Reflecting on the message, which Nick said was sent "about a year and a half" before the couple officially began dating in May 2018, the singer remarked, "It's a sensible message."


Nick also revealed that when the two moved their conversation to text messages, he asked Priyanka to verify her identity by sending him a photograph with a timestamp. "I was like this guy is so sus of me already," Priyanka joked, adding, "But I appreciated it too."

The couple, who are parents to four-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, have often spoken about the early days of their relationship, according to E! News. Kevin Jonas also shared a humorous anecdote about their first date during an earlier episode of the Hey Jonas podcast in June.


"It was pretty great. I wingmanned hard. I wingmanned so hard I threw up in the bathroom and rallied," Kevin recalled, describing his role in helping the couple during their first outing together, according to E! News.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra married in December 2018 after a whirlwind romance and have since welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas.
