The Met Gala is always a highly anticipated event in the world of fashion and celebrity culture. This year, all eyes were on power couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas as they made their red carpet appearance. The duo, who have been married since 2018 and share a 3-year-old daughter named Malti, arrived at the event hand-in-hand, but their body language raised some eyebrows.
Priyanka, 42, stunned in a black-and-white polka dot Balmain skirt suit paired with an oversized black hat, while Nick, 32, opted for a cream blouse with a tie detail by Bianca Saunders and black trousers. Despite their stylish outfits, it was their stiff poses that caught the attention of onlookers.
Fans took notice of the couple’s distant demeanor, with one observer claiming that there was “all that space… divorce soon come.” Another pointed out that they “didn’t look happy,” sparking rumors of trouble in paradise. Body language expert Judi James weighed in, suggesting that their poses seemed more independent and less romantic than in the past.
James noted that Nick’s serious facial expressions and lack of affection towards Priyanka hinted at a shift in their dynamic. She compared their current body language to their first appearance together in 2017, highlighting a lack of synchronization and ease in their posing.
The expert also mentioned how Priyanka’s voluminous skirt initially made Nick nervous, but as it settled into a narrower shape, he became more comfortable. However, he struggled with her oversized hat during their poses, indicating a lack of coordination in their presentation.
Furthermore, James speculated that the couple’s separation anxiety as parents may have contributed to their tense moments on the red carpet. Nick’s comments about checking on their daughter throughout the night suggested a relatable form of first-time parent separation anxiety.
Despite ongoing divorce rumors and social media speculation, Priyanka has consistently denied any trouble in her marriage to Nick. While fans have noticed subtle hints like the absence of wedding rings in photos, the couple continues to show a united front. As Nick focuses on his Broadway performances, the pair may be navigating the challenges of balancing their busy careers and family life.
