Unless you've been hiding under a giant rock these past few months, you'll know that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married.

Priyanka Chopra has since added Jonas to her name and she explained to Jimmy Fallon why she wanted to do that.

"I always wanted to add his name to mine because I feel like, we're becoming family," she said. "I'm a little traditional and old school like that."

"But I don't take away my identity, it's added to who I am."
