The Desi-Girl of Bollywood is finally hitched with the American actor-singer beau Nick Jonas and the internet just can’t stop gushing over their pictures from their intimate Roka-ceremony with their families in Mumbai. While Priyanka wore a ravishing Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s lemon yellow Anarkali, her fiancé looked dapper in white silk kurta-pyjama. Their romance came in the spotlight in May this year after they spent the Memorial Day weekend with each other and little did we know that they will hook up within 4 months of their dating!
Definitely, the 10-year-old age gap between the two is just a number but the Jealous hitmaker has a history around dating older women in the past. Those who are familiar with the 25-year-old’s love life will know that he has had many flings and out of the eight women he has dated publically, four of them have been older than him. The singer is, for sure, not shy about dating outside his age bracket.
Here is the list of older women other than Priyanka, Nick has dated.
Delta Goodrem
After starring together on The Voice in 2011, Nick had a brief romance with Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem. Then-27-year-old Delta remained coy about her relationship with 18-year-old Nick, but the pair was spotted holding hands a few times. Despite the age gap of 8 years, the two have never tried to hide their romance and were very happy together.
Jonas and Goodrem dated for 10 months before calling it quits in February 2012. The duo reunited in 2017 for a night with friends and an Instagram photo, but things never appeared to get romantic again between them.
Kate Hudson
Nick dated the Golden Globe winner, actress Kate Hudson briefly in 2015. Both were very vague about the nature of their relationship. The then-36-year-old actress was 13 years older than him. Less than a year later, Nick opened up about it in an interview with Complex, saying, ‘Kate’s incredible. We had an unbelievable connection with two humans who just admire things about each other, and see something in each other that’s beautiful.’ Always denying their relationship status, he further added, ‘Out of my best effort to respect her and her privacy, I’m not going to say if we had sex or not. But we did have a beautiful connection. Even now I have so much admiration and respect. She’s amazing.’
Lily Collins
In what is his least significant age gap, Nick, then 24, reportedly dated actress Lily Collins, then 27, for a few weeks. The relationship, however, didn’t pan out and their romance did not last long. ‘We went out a couple of times,’ said Nick, ‘She is amazing. We have known each other for years, just running in the same circles.’ Multiple sources revealed that the Jumanji actor was dating Collins quoting, ‘Nick really likes Lily but right now it’s not exclusive’. While the Chains singer allegedly revealed that they did go out a couple of times.
Interestingly, the Quantico actress is not the first Miss World Jonas is in a relationship with; he previously was hooked up with Olivia Culpo, Miss Universe 2012. In the two years of publicized romance, the beauty also starred in one of his music videos- Jealous. Known for his boyish charms ever since he is on TV, at the age of seven, Nick Jonas has had the media playing special attention to his love life. Be it his infamous love-triangle with the Disney starlets Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez or dates with the supermodel Kendall Jenner and Georgia Fowler the list of his rumoured girlfriends is pretty big (Tinashe, Cherry D, Rita Ora, Gigi Hadid, Samantha Barks, Nicole Anderson, Courtney Galiano). But looks like the man-of-the-ladies has finally settled for his lady-love.
A throwback video where Nick talks about why he is inclined towards older women surfaced on the internet recently. In 2013 on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen‘s show, a fan called in to ask Nick what is the oldest woman (he) would date. Nick laughed and replied, ‘I wouldn’t put a limit on it. The oldest person I have taken on a date was about 35.’ The 25-year-old actor and musician explained that he is ‘clearly’ drawn to older women because ‘they know what they want’.
