Priyanka Chopra is addressing split rumors in regards to her relationship with Nick Jonas.
This past November, Priyanka updated her Instagram and Twitter handles from @PriyankaChopraJonas to @PriyankaChopra and, of course, fans and followers made their conclusions en masse.
Priyanka described the media’s reaction as a “professional hazard,” in an interview with Vanity Fair.
“It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate,” she told the outlet.
“Because of the noise of social media, because of the prevalence that it has in our lives, I think it seems a lot larger than it is. I think that we give it a lot more credence in real life, and I don’t think it needs that.”

Nick also commented on the speculation of their romance and how they’ve moved through hardships together in the last three years
“We both know that public life is something that comes with what we do,” he said. “But we’ve set real boundaries around our personal lives, our privacy, and worked really hard to create that little safe haven for ourselves with our friends and family.”
Priyanka added that as her career has progressed, she’s become “a lot more introverted” than in the past in an effort to maintain her mental health.
“I’m starting to protect myself a lot more because I realize how much [the entertainment business] takes out of you,” she shared. “It takes a part of your soul, constantly trying to make sure that you say the right thing, do the right thing, dress the right way, not make a mistake, not trip because the whole world is going to watch. Or not fall when you’re walking up on a red carpet or say something wrong or have a bad f–king day.”
Priyanka also shared how she and Nick are planning for little ones too. The actress said how starting a family was “a big part” of the couple’s dreams for the future, adding, “by God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.”
And when asked if both she and Nick would be comfortable taking a pause to raise a child, Priyanka said the two are more than ready.
“I’m okay with that,” she said. “We’re both okay with that.”
