Priyanka Chopra responds to speculation about her marriage to Nick

Priyanka Chopra Jonas won't let public speculation about her private life — including her marriage to Nick Jonas — take up too much time or energy. That's probably why she didn't initially address rumors of marital trouble that surfaced in November after she dropped "Chopra Jonas" from her Instagram handle. The change ignited a rumor mill of questions about the state of her relationship on social media, as did the flirty comment she left on a video Nick shared less than a day later. Asked about the rumors and comments about her marriage, Priyanka, 39, recently explained to Vanity Fair while it makes her feel "vulnerable," she doesn't give it much weight. "It's a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that's behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate," Priyanka says in the magazine's February 2022 cover story. "It's just a professional hazard. … Because of the noise of social media, because of the prevalence that it has in our lives, I think it seems a lot larger than it is. I think that we give it a lot more credence in real life, and I don't think it needs that." Nick, 29, tells the outlet Priyanka handles "the pressures of fame" gracefully. "We both know that public life is something that comes with what we do," he explains. "But we've set real boundaries around our personal lives, our privacy, and worked really hard to create that little safe haven for ourselves with our friends and family." It sounds like that haven could grow a little larger at some point soon, too. Asked if she and Nick want kids, Priyanka says, "They're a big part of our desire for the future. By God's grace, when it happens, it happens." In the meantime, she jokes, she and Nick aren't "not too busy to practice" the art of conceiving a little one.

Pete Davidson rumored to be a 2022 Oscars host contender

As the Oscars plans its return to a host-helmed ceremony for the first time since 2018, the event's producers are interested in giving the show a makeover of sorts, according to Page Six. That "reset" could include Pete Davidson coming on board to host. "His people are talking to producers," a source tells the tab. "He gets a demographic that is hard to get. He is in a good space, his career is doing well and he is on the rise," the insider explains, adding that Pete's also "a sex symbol" to "a certain generation." While his demo has ratings to back it up — Pete and Miley Cyrus' NBC New Year's Eve special snagged 6.3 million viewers, according to the Post — his newfound "sex symbol" status has a, um, different set of numbers attached to it. When the 28-year-old's photo-friendly romance with Kim Kardashian, 41, came to light last fall, interest in the unlikely couple sparked lots of curiosity, in part because it was hardly the "Saturday Night Live" star's first out-of-the-blue, high-profile romance with a gorgeous celeb. (Pete's recent exes include Kate Beckinsale, 48, Kaia Gerber, 20, Margaret Qualley, 27, and singer Ariana Grande, 28.) The 2022 Oscars host, meanwhile, seems to be very much up in the air as of Jan. 13. Tom Holland previously told The Hollywood Reporter he'd love to helm the awards show and THR confirmed the Academy had contacted the "Spider-Man" star about the idea. According to Deadline, there's also been talk of booking more than host, and some insiders have expressed interest in Dwayne Johnson or Chris Rock. The Oscars air on ABC March 27. It's harder to guess when and where Pete and Kim will surface next — their recent dates have reportedly included a trip to a Los Angeles Rite Aid for ice cream and a daytime visit to an outlet mall for caramel apples, so maybe keep an eye on your local candy store. Or, ya know … the Oscars.
