After a whirlwind year gettingengaged andgetting married,Priyanka Chopra andNick Jonasreturned to the place where their love story started: theMet Gala.
They first walked the red carpet together in 2017 as guests of Ralph Lauren, but this time the experience was much different than it was two years ago. “The first time when we went together was sort of like… so awkward. We didn’t know each other. We were vibing, we didn’t know … ‘This is all weird’,” the actress exclusively tells PEOPLE at the launch ofTarget’s Vineyard Vines collaboration.
On Monday the pair enjoyed the evening without any of those jitters. “This time it was so great to go with your best friend, because all we did was sit with each other and we could talk about everything. You don’t have to be worried about … ‘Oh my gosh, who am I meeting?'” she said. “It was just such a great, easy evening when you have someone with you that’s your person, you know? We both discussed how different it was doing that.”

“Are you datingNick Jonas? Isn’t he like, 11 years old?” Kimmel asked the actress.
“We were both wearing Ralph Lauren! And we decided to go together because it was fun,” Chopra replied.
“Really? Interesting,” Kimmel said skeptically.
“I didn’t ask his age. 11? I did not know that. Good to know,” she quipped back.
Chopra added, “Yeah we were on the same table. We know each other so we were like, ‘Hey you know what, let’s go together.’ And I was like, ‘Okay. Let’s go together!’ It just ended up working out.”
