Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, the non-couple that went to the Met Gala together one year ago, are reportedly a real, authentic couple now. Multiple outlets have reported the two are seeing each other-though some make it seem more casual than others-after Jonas was spotted last week leaving a flirty comment on Jenna Dewan's Instagram, and the week before liking his ex Olivia Culpo's 'grams.

Here, a roundup of what the tabloids are reporting about Chopra and Jonas's new fling, plus an overview of all Jonas's public thirsting this May.

All the tabloids are reporting that Jonas and Chopra spent a lot of time together this weekend. Just Jared reports that Chopra and Jonas also went to see Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl Friday. On Saturday, they went to a Dodgers game together:

And during some other point this weekend, they were photographed sitting cozily next to each other on a yacht with friends:

People's source had this to say about their relationship: “They’re flirtatious and have been hanging out and text all the time. [Their relationship is] very casual.” The outlet additionally reported that Chopra and Jonas have been spotted on multiple dates during the last several weeks, not just this past weekend.

Us Weekly's source went further, asserting it is full-on official: “They are dating and it’s brand new. It’s a good match and they are both interested in each other.”

The outlet got details about the Beauty and the Beast date from a witness, who said: “They walked in together just before the performance was starting, they looked great together, but no hand-holding or obvious PDA. The two were seen heading to the concessions stand during intermission before returning to their seats to finish taking in the show. They snuck out right as the show was ending.”

Us additionally spoke to a witness at the Dodgers game about that date too: “Priyanka and Nick were talking really closely and were very smiley and very happy. They weren’t trying to be private as they were in a pretty public place, but they were talking to people around them, sitting closely and they both just seemed super happy.”

E! also quoted an onlooker (though it's not certain whether it was the same one) who said a similar thing about their behavior at the game: "They were both very happy and smiley and seemed to really be enjoying each other's company. They didn't show any PDA, just talking and laughing a lot."

People reports that Chopra and Jonas first hit it off a year ago, presumably during that Met Gala date. Back then, Chopra had this to say about the resulting dating rumors when Jimmy Kimmel asked her about them, joking that Jonas was "11" when in reality, he's now 25, just 10 years younger than Chopra at 35: "We were both wearing Ralph Lauren, and we decided to go together because it was fun…yeah, I didn't ask his age. 11?" Chopra quipped.

Jonas, by the way, has also been steadily liking Chopra's Instagrams for months:

But up until the Chopra news went public, Jonas was having something of a thirsty summer. He commented on Jenna Dewan's Billboard Music Awards Instagram and got headline attention for that flirtatiousness on 22 May:

But six days before Jonas liked that post, Us Weekly reported that Jonas was trying to win his ex-girlfriend Olivia Culpo back. “He reached out a couple weeks ago via text trying to reconnect,” a source told the outlet. Jonas had also been liking her Instagram photos during the same time he was liking Chopra's. Looks like someone's planning a summer of love.
