While some amours were nothing more than baseless rumors (cough … Tom Hiddleston … cough), there were a few real relationships Priyanka Chopra had fully invested in. But after dating (or allegedly dating) some of the hottest Hollywood (and non-Hollywood) men, this exotic beauty has settled for one of the best—American singer-songwriter Nick Jonas!
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have been dating for just a couple of months now, but that didn’t stop the young heartthrob from putting a ring on it! However, there were others before Mr. Jonas who came along and stole her heart. Who are the other lucky few?
Here is Priyanka Chopra’s dating timeline and list of boyfriends she has had over the years.

Quantico’s Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas are in complete bliss. As if the two couldn’t look anymore in love after being a couple for only a couple months now, Jonas popped the big question and Chopra said, “Yes!”
They were first linked together when they walked hand-in-hand on the MET Gala red carpet back in 2017.
While both the stars wore Ralph Lauren and stunned everyone, it was their decision to go together that sparked more dating rumors than they both could have imagined.
“We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together because it was fun,” the actress said while on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
So, it seemed the two were just friends.
Jonas, 25, and Chopra 35, laid low since the rumors sparked. They had also been dodging the golden question in interviews.
But then in May of this year, photos of the two out on what looked like “dates” began to emerge, until they both came out with it—they were officially dating!
So, you can understand why the announcement came as such a shock to fans, as it was one of the quickest celebrity proposals! (Take it easy, Biebs. We know.)
The wedding took place over the course of three days in December of 2018 in Jodhpur, India. The first ceremony was a Christian wedding, followed by a Hindu ceremony and a reception. Chopra wore a Sabyasachi lehenga that had been designed especially for the ceremony, while Jonas wore a sherwani.
In January 2020, the star gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter named Malti Marie.

Back in 2009, actor Gerard Butler visited India where he spent a lot of time with Bollywood stars. That’s when he got the chance to hang out with the Slumdog Millionaire children as well.
It was reported that his farewell party was hosted by none other than Chopra at her Versova home. At the time, reports of Butler being thoroughly smitten by Chopra created waves in the country and abroad.
But when a proposal came her way, Chopra, just like her fans, was taken by surprise!
Butler the Romantic
Butler got down on one knee and everything for Chopra, but it was all in good humor. It became an ongoing joke between the two, as Butler would get down on one knee every half hour, only to make Chopra laugh out loud!
She hilariously had no interest in being Gerard Butler’s wife. And in and interview in 2012, Butler called her out again!
He jokingly said, “I’m still single because I’m waiting for Priyanka Chopra.”
The Scottish actor seems to be in love with Morgan Brown now, but his admiration for Chopra had fans hoping for a romance!
