Watch: Priyanka Chopra on Citadel, Spying on Celeb Friends & Mumbai Return

Nick Jonas is a sucker for Priyanka Chopra.

The singer made his love for her abundantly clear when he shared a totally sweet TikTok hyping up his wife while she walked the red carpet for the premiere of her show Citadel April 18.

As her plus-one, Nick filmed multiple clips of Priyanka rocking a sizzling, red gown at the event. He paired the footage with the Jonas Brothers' "red dress" lyric from "Burning Up," which played on repeat throughout the clip.

And let it be known we are burning up for Nick and Priyanka's date night. The parents of 15-month-old daughter Malti posed together on the carpet, where Nick, 30, was captured holding the 40-year-old close, putting his face close to hers.

Just last month, Priyanka looked back on her journey to motherhood—and how her wish to start a family made her hesitant to embark on a relationship with Nick.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's Romance Rewind

"I always knew I wanted kids, which is one of the big reasons I didn't want to date Nick at that time," the Quantico actress recalled during the March 27 episode of Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast. "Because I was like, I don't know if he wants kids at 25 at that time. But I always wanted kids. I love kids."

And this duo certainly love being mom and dad. In a March 30 TikTok, Nick gave fans a relatable glimpse inside their lives as parents as he filmed himself struggling to pack up a pop-up ball pit. After much fighting with the toy, Nick came close to successfully getting the ball pit back in its bag but, alas, the zipper broke.

"No!" he wrote in the video. "We were so close!"

Now, catch that lovebug and keep reading for a look at their adorable family…

All bundled up! Priyanka shared a photo of Malti in November 2022, simply captioning it, "I mean..." 

"They're a very happy couple just thriving, having fun and still living their lives," an insider told E! News over the summer. "They work hard, do business, host social events and take care of Malti."

Their daughter has brought Nick and Priyanka, who have been married for three years, closer than ever and they are "so in love. "It's like Malti has brought them good luck with how amazing things seem for them all around right now."

And they are feeling super grateful after a scare, with Priyanka taking to Instagram to open up about Malti's extended stay in the NICU after her birth. 

"We can't help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we've been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced," the Baywatch star wrote in a Mother's Day post. "After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family's journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is."

Priyanka went on to thank "every Doctor, nurse and specialist at Rady Children's La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles" who were with her family "every step of the way."

To end her emotional post, Priyanka wrote, "Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let's get it MM!"

Nick praised his wife on her first Mother's Day, writing, "Babe, you inspire me and every way, and you are taking to this new role with such ease and steadiness. I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. You are already an incredible mother."

In June, Priyanka posted a sweet birthday tribute to her mom Madhu Chopra, who has been staying with the couple in Los Angeles to help care for Malti. 

"They do have help," E!'s insider said. "They all love to take family trips with the baby and when they're home. They enjoy having company. There's usually always friends and family around and they have a lot of support."

Like mother, like daughter! Taking after her stylish mama, Malti is a budding fashionista and Priyanka and Nick "love to dress her up and she has quite the collection of clothes," the source told E!. "Whether intentional or not, [they] always seem to be wearing coordinated outfits with each other too."

And for his first Father's Day, Priyanka gifted Nick and Malti with a pair of matching "Father Daughter" sneakers. Malti's embroidered with letter "M," while "MM's DAD" was stitched on the back of Nick's soles.

Malti's style was also on display when Priyanka shared a photo from the family's recent trip to Turks & Caicos

In the image, Malti—her face covered with a white heart emoji, as her parents have yet to share her face with the world—is wearing an adorable denim bucket hat. The post was dedicated to Priyanka's longtime friend Tamanna Dutt, with Priyanka writing, "22 years and counting.. and now with our babies..love you."
