Priyanka Chopra JonasandNick Jonasput each other first — no matter how far the distance.
During an appearance onInStyle’sLadies First With Laura Brownpodcast Tuesday, Chopra Jonas, 39, opened up about having a long-distance relationship with husband Nick, 29, amid their busy work schedules.
“This year has been really, really tough. It was really, really tough to be away from home for an entire year, especially at a time when you can’t travel to see your family,” theMatrix Resurrectionsactress said.
“Just the uncertainty of my mom and my brother being in India, my husband being in America while I was in the U.K. It just was so much uncertainty and that, to me, was terrifying of not being able to just get on a flight and travel, just in case something went wrong or something happened. But thankfully, you know, everyone was okay,” she continued.
The pairgot engagedin July 2018 just two months after publicizing their relationship. Theywedlater that year in two separate ceremonies.
Chopra Jonas said being alone and away from her husband has been very challenging. But they have been making long-distance work the best way they could.

“We didn’t have a dramatic separation but because he was in and out, we had to be really careful. He had to quarantine, I had to quarantine whenever we saw each other at that time. And that’s usually not conducive to a production schedule because you don’t really have much time. You have, like, two days off,” she said.
“It was all really tricky but we managed. He flew down a bunch of times, I flew down a couple of times. My mom came and stayed with me for almost five months, which was really nice,” the star explained.
The couple “talk all the time” as well, theQuanticoalum said.
“We know each other’s hearts and we prioritize each other in everything that we do. We’ve had individual careers and we’re both very clear about never interfering in each other’s professional lives because we’re always partners and assets,” Chopra Jonas continued.
“But I think at the same time, it’s very important to keep a check on another person’s heart and how they’re feeling. And I have to say, my husband’s amazing at doing that,” she added. “Like I said, this year was hard for me being in London. He would just drop everything — come in for even, like a day — just to have dinner with me and fly back. Stuff like that, you just have to prioritize each other and then everything feels right.”

Recently, Chopra Jonas revealed sheenjoyed traveling with Nickin his band’s tour bus.
“I’m used to being in trailers that don’t move, right? As an actor … you’re not supposed to sleep in a trailer, eat in a trailer. Like, I only know that you do that on a road trip, not when you’re working and have to wake up and do your job,” she said on Victoria’s Secret’sVS Voices Podcastin October. “But my husband was convincing and we did it in Europe and I was like, ‘This … is so amazing.’ "
