Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are ten years apart, and as such, they've faced a lot of comments from haters who care about this age gap for some unknown (read: stupid) reason. Thankfully, they can make fun of themselves, and Priyanka's nickname for Nick is absolutely perfect.
In an interview for the January cover of Vogue, Priyanka and Nick opened up about their love story, and the interviewer was even able to talk to the two of them together for a portion of the convo. During the interview, the writer noticed that Nick actually seems like the older one of the two.
Allow me to paint the scene. Nick was walking around the hotel room looking for his slippers after ordering room service—a very old-man order of turkey burgers, sans buns—and Priyanka let it slip: 'I call him Old Man Jonas.' LOL, the irony is not lost on anyone here, but this is straight-up adorable.
Apparently, all of India (Priyanka's home country) has a nickname for Nick, too. They use a word that's 'a play on the Hindi word jiju, which means 'brother-in-law' or, more precisely, 'sister’s husband.' Basically, he's India's version of an internet boyfriend.
Also! Nick dropped down on one knee the very first time they met. You can read about that charming little anecdote right this way.
