Chopra went on to explain that everything changed once she got to know him, adding, “When I actually started dating Nick, he surprised me so much… I call him Old Man Jonas. That’s my name for him, OMJ. He’s such an old soul, extremely smart, so good for me because he grounds me so much.”
Although she initially didn’t see him as a romantic partner, Chopra can pinpoint the exact moment he changed her mind. She continued, “One of the things that first struck me about him was we were on a date and it was time for the date to get over, we were [with] a bunch of friends, and I had a meeting… and I was dropping hints to my friends and they were like, ‘No, don’t go for the meeting. Just stay.’”
When Jonas saw she was dropping hints about him asking her to skip the meeting, his response sealed the deal. “Finally, he took me aside and was like, ‘Look, I’m not stupid. I know what you’re trying to do. But I would never be the one to tell you to cancel work because I know how hard you’ve worked to be where you are. So, if you could’ve canceled it, you would’ve done it. I’ll take our friends out for dinner, and we’ll wait for you and you finish your meeting and come back,’” Chopra added. “And I was just like, ‘That’s the first time someone’s ever done that.’”
