Priyanka Chopra Jonas has revealed that she took a two-year break from romantic relationships before meeting her husband, Nick Jonas, to figure out her patterns and mistakes. In an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, the actor opened up about her love life and how she went from “relationship to relationship” without giving herself time in between.
Chopra Jonas explained that she had a habit of dating actors that she worked with and had an idea of what a relationship should be like, which she tried to fit the people in her life into. Looking back, she acknowledged that some of her relationships ended badly, but the people she dated were “really wonderful.”
After her previous relationship ended, Chopra Jonas took a break for two years to focus on herself and understand why she kept repeating the same mistakes. She had normalized the idea of giving power in a skewed way and never stood up for herself, becoming a doormat. She realized that getting into a new relationship soon after one ended was not good for her.
“I had to choose me, I had to be like I don’t owe no one anything except my family and myself, the people who truly love me,” she said. “When you are in relationships where you stop recognizing who you are, you stop having your own identity, or you stop knowing what is it what you want for yourself, what your goals are, then you are invisible. And, I just started feeling invisible in my relationships.”
Chopra Jonas married Nick Jonas in December 2018 and welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie, in January 2022. She emphasized the importance of taking time for oneself to figure out what one wants and needs in a relationship and not losing one’s identity in the process. The actor’s candid revelations serve as a reminder that prioritizing oneself and one’s well-being is crucial in any relationship.
