Priyanka Chopra Jonas is reacting to continuous rumors questioning her marriage with Nick Jonas.
"We’re eight years in,” she told Variety in a cover story published Wednesday, Feb. 11, when asked about speculation. "If people want to keep waiting for it to implode, that’s their choice. I stopped thinking about it."
The actress, who stars in the new action film The Bluff, married the singer in 2018, and they share 4-year-old daughter Malti.
Priyanka, 43, reflected on marrying Nick, 33, "really quick, within six months of meeting," telling the outlet, "When I first married him, I didn’t know if it was even real. This part of him. Because I was like this is crazy. This is put on. But Nick has this absolute sincerity. It inspires me every day in a profession which requires you to pivot and become whatever you need to put on. He’s constantly sincere."
She added, "His parents are the most wonderful, levelheaded, absolute saints, so I can see where it comes from. But it’s such a disarming quality about him."

The Indian actress admitted that she noticed that her relationship with the Jonas Brothers star, from New Jersey, "rubbed people the wrong way," though, "I don’t know what was it about us" that did.
"I think there was the intercultural nature of it — different countries, different religions, age gap. It was very hurtful," she told Variety. "And we both, instead of looking out, just sort of looked at each other, and we were like, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ So it’s like water off a duck’s back now."
In July 2024, Nick, who recently debuted the album Sunday Best, commemorated the day he proposed to Priyanka, writing on Instagram at the time, "I asked the most amazing woman in the world to marry me 6 years ago today. Thank you for saying yes."
When they marked their wedding anniversary in December 2025, Nick wrote on Instagram, "7 years married to my dream girl," and Priyanka wrote, "You're what dreams are made of."
