Priyanka Chopra often speaks how her husband Nick Jonas is her loudest cheerleader. Recently, the actor talked about her relationships before she met Nick, and how those relationships made her think of herself as a ‘doormat’.
In the latest episode of the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, Priyanka talked about her prior pattern while choosing her romantic partner. She said, “I went from relationship to relationship to relationship. I did not give myself time at all between relationships, till my last one. I always ended up dating the actors that I worked with or the people that I met on my set. I just thought I had an idea of what a relationship should be like, and I kept seeking that and trying to fit the people that came into my life into my idea of that relationship.”
However, Priyanka decided to reflect upon why she is repeating the same mistakes in her relationships before she met Nick, and realised that the biggest mistake she was making was putting her man’s needs, his job before her.
“The repeating of the mistake was always feeling like, I need to be the caretaker, always feeling like it’s okay to cancel my job or my work or my meeting or my priority to make sure that he’s propped up. It was so normalised in my brain for so long that I ended up giving the power in such a skewed way that I never stood up for myself. I literally would become like a doormat and I was like, okay, that’s fine because, you know, that’s what women have been told for such a long time that our role is to glue the family together or you’ve got to make your man feel comfortable when he comes back home,” she Priyanka.
However, things changed after she met American singer Nick Jonas, who makes her feel seen and heard. “He thrives on seeing me shine, like he is the most excited about the shows I am doing, he is the most excited when I am on a carpet, he will step aside and he will take pictures of me,” Priyanka said, adding, “My husband and I have this incredible partnership of ‘I got you.’ I can lean on him, you know, that trust exercise, I won’t do that with anyone except Nick. I don’t trust people. He has my back.”
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra tied the knot in 2018, and are now parents to a daughter, Malti Marie Jonas.
