The 2026 Golden Globes was a star-studded evening, and Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas made it a true date night, arriving hand-in-hand, posing for photos, and even helping each other with their outfits. But a clip that went viral showed Nick stepping out of the venue alone to grab a drink, sparking rumors that he was uncomfortable seeing his ex-girlfriends, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, at the same event.
Nick has now set the record straight. Responding to a fan’s comment on X (formerly Twitter) joking about “social anxiety,” he admitted, “Yeah…it hit me like a gut punch,” referencing his recently released single Gut Punch. The song’s lyrics—about self-reflection and dealing with personal pressures—seemingly mirror that moment, making it clear his brief exit wasn’t about Priyanka or his exes.
Meanwhile, Priyanka kept shining on stage, presenting the Golden Globe for Best Actor – Television Series Drama, which went to Noah Wyle for The Pitt. She was joined by BLACKPINK’s Lisa as they announced the winner together, showing that while Nick took a quick break, Priyanka held her own with grace and style.
