“We’re eight years in. If people want to keep waiting for it to implode, that’s their choice. I stopped thinking about it,” Priyanka told Variety of all the theories ranging from breakups, that their relationship is performative, and that they left the Golden Globes separately.

“I don’t know what was it about us that rubbed people the wrong way. I think there was the intercultural nature of it — different countries, different religions, age gap. It was very hurtful.”

How did they combat it together? “…we both, instead of looking out, just sort of looked at each other, and we were like, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ So it’s like water off a duck’s back now.”

Of their marriage and relationship, she said, “We got married really quick, within six months of meeting. When I first married him. I didn’t know if it was even real. This part of him. Because I was like this is crazy. This is put on. But Nick has this absolute sincerity. It inspires me every day in a profession which requires you to pivot and become whatever you need to put on. He’s constantly sincere. His whole day, whatever the conversation is, he is sincere. He started working when he was really young. His parents are the most wonderful, levelheaded, absolute saints, so I can see where it comes from. But it’s such a disarming quality about him.”

For the piece, Nick described Priyanka using three words: “Driven. Creative. Fearless.”
