Things got pretty serious between Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo. So serious, in fact, that Culpo legitimately thought that Jonas was going to propose to her when he performed at the 2014 Miss Universe Pageant, according to E! News. (This would have been a familiar setting for Culpo as she won the crown in 2012.) Jonas walked over to her mid-performance and got down on one knee. Obviously, Culpo's excited reaction seemed to signify she thought a ring was coming next.
Jonas spoke about it afterwards with The Sun, explaining (via the Daily Mail), "I went down and sang to her and I go on a knee and approached her. Her face was in full panic, she thought I was going to propose on national TV in front of one billion people."
There was no proposal, of course, and the couple parted ways in 2015. Culpo got vulnerable about the breakup in an Instagram post, writing, "Your heart just breaks, that's all. Heartbreak is hard but you find more and more things to be grateful for every day. One of those things is all of you. Thank you all. Yes I'm going to be okay and I love u guys so so much. every day is a blessing."
Jonas also had strong reactions to the breakup and his heartbreak took a creative direction.
