Birthdays are always something special, but having your birthday with the love of your life and coming back to the site where so many memories were created makes it unforgettable. That’s exactly how Nick Jonas rang in his 33rd birthday this year on the nostalgic set of Camp Rock, surrounded by his wife, Priyanka Chopra, and brothers Kevin and Joe Jonas.
Nick, who shot to fame alongside his brothers through Disney’s Camp Rock franchise back in 2008, shared a glimpse of his big day on Instagram. His post was filled with moments that blended fun, love, and sentiment. “Somehow it’s my third time celebrating my birthday on the set of Camp Rock? 15, 17, and now the best one yet, 33, with my ❤️ @priyankachopra,” Nick captioned the post, a line that beautifully tied together the past and the present.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
For longtime fans, Camp Rock holds a special place. It wasn’t just a movie; it was where the Jonas Brothers first truly connected with global audiences, alongside Demi Lovato and the rest of the cast. Watching Nick mark off another milestone on the very same stage almost seems like time coming full circle. The chairs with character names, the pranks with Kevin and Joe, and the camaraderie of the crew all added to that nostalgic energy.
Nick even shared a throwback-like selfie with Joe Jonas as the two strolled around the set, bringing fans right back to the days when teenage fans were learning every line of the songs from Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
Priyanka Brings the Love
But what made the birthday really “the best one yet,” as Nick put it, was Priyanka Chopra. The two were seen huddled in intimate, jovial moments, including a tender kiss captured on camera as they dined together inside a restaurant. Priyanka was dazzling in a flowy white-and-blue getup, with Nick keeping things relaxed in a denim jacket and jeans.
In one of the final photos from his side, Priyanka can be found laughing heartily next to Nick as he spots his birthday cake, a humble yet revealing moment of the comfort and joy they’ve established with each other. It’s this combination of star glamour and down-to-earth happiness that has fans loving them as a couple.
A Family Affair
Birthdays for the Jonas brothers in their own home, of course, are not possible without brothers Joe and Kevin. They accompanied Nick in having a ball on set, making fun of one another and injecting that brotherly playfulness. In another scene, employees surprised Nick with cake and applause, clapping as he extinguished his candles. It wasn’t a showy affair, but it was full of heartfelt warmth, the very same thing that makes such birthday celebrations so memorable.
Priyanka’s Own Tribute
Earlier in the day, Priyanka had already melted hearts by sharing a series of photos on Instagram dedicated to her husband. Her caption read:
“As we celebrate you today, my love, I’m reminiscing about each of the wonderful September 16ths I’ve been so lucky to spend with you over the years and so grateful to share life with you. We celebrate you every day.”
It’s a tribute to their union, which started in 2018 with a fairytale Rajasthan wedding that blended Christian and Hindu rituals. Ever since, they’ve had their daughter Malti via surrogacy in 2022, accepting both parenthood and their grueling professions in equal elegance.
What’s Next for the Couple
Both Priyanka and Nick are as busy as ever professionally. Nick is currently touring with his brothers on their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown tour, which spans 52 concerts and will conclude in November. Priyanka, meanwhile, continues to make waves globally. Fans will see her in Citadel Season 2 and in the swashbuckling drama The Bluff, where she plays a 19th-century Caribbean pirate. She’s also set to collaborate with director SS Rajamouli and actor Mahesh Babu in the much-anticipated project, GlobeTrotter.
Why This Birthday Stood Out
Nick Jonas’ 33rd birthday wasn’t about glitz or grandeur. It was about going back to the genesis of his career, sharing it with the people who are closest to him, and enjoying the love he has for Priyanka. Symbolically, in many ways, it was a reminder that success is nothing without family and love around you.
To viewers who came of age with Camp Rock or have watched Priyanka and Nick’s evolution, this reunion felt intimate as well. It reminded us that even international icons appreciate the same little pleasures we all do: laughter, nostalgia, cake, and loved ones.
