Found the deleted article but I think it's the edited version without the global scam artist before they deleted it. But the writer is a comedian so maybe it wasn't all serious. If their engagement was sponsored by amazon, google pixel 3 phone and Ralph Lauren it's not surprising that people are suspicious.
Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Love for Real?

Priyanka Chopra is a superstar. She’s stunning, talented, and recently took on the Jonas surname. It seems that she has it all — well, if “it all” includes marrying someone related to Kevin Jonas. But is Priyanka and Nick’s love real? I have some thoughts.
Even before Priyanka crossed over from Bollywood superstardom into the Hollywood arena, she was on the edge of making history. Just a few years ago (around 2015), Priyanka had her big break in America, starring in an ABC drama series, the now-canceled
Quantico. This success made Priyanka
the first major Indian crossover star in America.
This series lead role led to
endorsement deals,
major film roles, and important Hollywood invitations, like the
Met Ball. Hollywood had seen nothing like her. And neither had Nick Jonas.
If you’re unfamiliar, Nick Jonas is the youngest member of the now-defunct Jonas Brothers. Formed in 2005, the Jonas Brothers gained extreme popularity during their frequent appearances on the Disney Channel and their relationships with other teeny-bop-pop royalty, like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato. In 2013, Nick Jonas and his brothers, Kevin and Joe, decided to no longer be connected professionally. Three years later, in 2016,
Nick admitted that he was the one to broach the topic of splitting up. He said the change left the entire family “shaken,” but that they all eventually found their way. Kevin, by building a home with his wife who rarely speaks above a whisper,
Danielle Jonas, and their two daughters, and Joe, by fronting his new band,
DNCE.
Between then and now, Nick has tried his hand at acting, even starring in television shows (who can forget
Scream Queens?). He’s also continued to use that buttery voice of his to get songs like “
Jealous” stuck in your head.
But how did Priyanka and Nick come together? Well: As Nick Jonas explains in the duo’s recent
Vogue profile, he reached out to one of Priyanka’s
Quantico co-stars, Graham Rogers, with a text message that read, “Priyanka. Is. Wow.” That was around September 2016, when Nick was 24 — not exactly the time you’d imagine a
bachelor like Nick Jonas to think about settling down. But it was around the time you’d think someone like Priyanka, then 34, would. Following this text, Nick Jonas DM’d Priyanka on Twitter.
Next was a direct message from Jonas to Chopra on Twitter: “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.” I ask for the date. “September 8, 2016,” Jonas says. “We checked this morning.” He goes on: “She responded day of with a message that said, ‘My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.’ ”
Aside from the Hollywoodness of Priyanka telling another celebrity that her “team” reads her direct messages, what she was really doing here was quite possibly dropping a hint to Nick that she was going to break his heart. Or, at the very least: She was indicating that he’d been added to the short list of Hollywood men that she and her team would test out for a possible romance. This same month, Priyanka was rumored to be getting
hot and heavy with Tom Hiddleston at an Emmys after-party. Tom was a prime item then, as this was shortly after he’d been washed, rinsed, and repeated in the news cycle following his embarrassing relationship with Taylor Swift.
September 2016 is quite possibly the month when dating became a job for Priyanka. She told an
Indian publication, “I have ended up getting into relationships with the people I meet and I usually meet people on movie sets … romantically my relationships have always been with people who I meet at work,” and adding, “Who says I don’t have a partner? I might not be with him because I am travelling. All my life I have never commented on the fact whether I am in a relationship or not.”
Which brings us back to Priyanka’s team. In early 2017, she told
People that in addition to having a hand in her social-media correspondence, her team also does all of her “necessary shopping.” As she put it, she’s “always been a little indulgent. I work very hard to spoil myself; I am not someone who is stingy at all when it comes to money. I like the high life and I work for it!”
While Priyanka shops around for the finer things in life her team seems to be shopping around for the finer men. During the 2017
Vanity Fair party, her manager was standing next to Priyanka when Nick Jonas
got on one knee and asked the actress, “Where have you been all my life?” This young man had enough interest in Priyanka to DM her and publicly proclaim his lust. So as far as Priyanka’s team must have seen it: He’d landed the role.
Months following, the two attended the 2017 Met Ball
together and sparked
many rumors about whether they were dating one another. Priyanka denied them, stating that they both just happened to be wearing Ralph Lauren to the Ball and decided to go together “for fun.” The wave of news passed, and it didn’t seem that important by the end of May. And, in fact, not many people thought much about the couple again until May of 2018, when they reappeared as a duo at various public events, like
ball games.
