Reading Nick's first message, Joe quoted: "Hello. I've heard from a few people that we should meet. I have to agree with these people. Are you in LA anytime soon?"
Kevin then read Priyanka's reply: "Hey... Graham's told me so much about you. Let's text. More private. My team can access this," according to E! News.
The exchange referred to their mutual friend, Graham Rogers, who had encouraged the pair to connect.
Reflecting on the message, which Nick said was sent "about a year and a half" before they officially began dating in May 2018, the singer said, "It's a sensible message."
Nick also revealed that after they moved the conversation to text messages, he asked Priyanka to verify her identity by sending him a photo with a timestamp.
"I was like, this guy is so sus of me already," Priyanka joked, adding, "But I appreciated it too."
The couple, who share four-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, have often spoken about the early days of their relationship.

"It was pretty great. I wingmanned hard. I wingmanned so hard I threw up in the bathroom and rallied," Kevin recalled, describing his efforts to help the pair during their first outing together, according to E! News.
