Priyanka Chopra made a surprising revelation about her husband Nick Jonas during a recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The Indian actress and former beauty queen - who married Jonas Brothers singer Nick Jonas in 2018 - initially rose to fame in 2000 after winning the Miss World pageant aged 17. In the years since, Chopra, 40, has made a name for herself internationally as both an actress and producer. She began the interview by speaking about how she entered the Miss World pageant, and how she had been unprepared for what the whole affair would mean for her future career. "I had no idea what I was doing or what this world entailed, [I] didn't have a lot of practice." The Citadel actress then recounted how, years after she won the beauty competition, her mother-in-law admitted that Jonas has been watching the moment she took home the highly coveted award. "She said, 'I remember this clearly because Kevin Sr.' my father-in-law, 'loves watching pageants. And he, I remember, was watching it and Nick came and sat down and watched you win,'" she told Hudson.

"Like, that was 22 years ago or something. He was 7, I was 17. And he was sitting there, and he was watching," she said. The couple originally crossed paths in 2016, when Jonas, 30, slid into her Twitter DMs. Remaining in touch over the next few years, Chopra and Jonas made their relationship official in May 2018. They tied the knot later that year in a traditional Hindu ceremony in India. In January 2022, the husband and wife welcomed their first child Malti Marie, via surrogacy - though they initially kept her birth secret, only revealing her name to the public three months later in April. Earlier this year, Chopra graced the cover of British Vogue, where she spoke about her motherhood journey and decision to use a surrogate mother. While she stated that she wished to keep her medical information and history private, she did tell the <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/priyanka-chopra-jonas-british-vogue-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">magazine</a>: "I had medical complications. This was a necessary step, and I'm so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely, and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months."

I'm like, 'Keep her out of it.' I know what it felt like to hold her little hands when they were trying to find her veins. So no, she's not going to be gossip. I've been really protective of this chapter of my life with my daughter. Because it's not about my life only. It's hers too." <h6>Featured image credit: Vincenzo Nuzzolese / Alamy</h6>
