Whether you met the Jonas Brothers during their Disney Channel days or you’re just getting to know them now through A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, we’re sure you’ve noticed that family is at the heart of everything they do.
Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas made their onscreen debut in 2007 when they guest-starred on an episode of Hannah Montana titled “Me and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas,” at 19, 17, and 14 years old, respectively. Soon after, the brothers got their big break in Disney Channel’s Camp Rock and their own show, Jonas (later rebranded Jonas L.A.). Now, after over a decade away from Disney, the JoBros have returned “home” for their debut Christmas movie, which follows the brothers’ hilarious attempt to make it home for the holidays even though everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong along the way.
From Kevin’s daughters making their acting debut to a highly anticipated return of the bonus Jonas, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie is all about their tight-knit family. That’s why we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the Jonas family before the movie premieres on November 14. Below, you can find a full guide to Kevin, Joe, and Nick’s big family.

Who are the Jonas Brothers’ parents?
It comes as no surprise that the JoBros come from a musical family. Their parents met on their first day of college at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas and got engaged before the end of their freshman year. As a former pastor, Kevin Jonas Sr. wrote and recorded Christian music before starting his career as a pastor. On the other hand, Denise Miller-Jonas is a singer and former American Sign Language (ASL) teacher. Both Kevin Sr. and Denise have performed with their sons, with Kevin Sr. playing piano and singing, while Denise translated their song into ASL.
Do the Jonas Brothers have a younger brother?
For anyone who was tuned into Jonas, it will come as no surprise that the Jonas Brothers have a younger brother. However, if you aren’t familiar with Franklin (Frankie) Jonas, it may come as a bit of a shock that the band of three brothers has a secret fourth brother who didn’t make the cut, a.k.a. the Bonus Jonas.
Franklin was born in 2000, making him eight years younger than Nick. Seeing as he was in roughly first grade when his brothers had their big break, it’s no wonder that he isn’t part of the band. However, Franklin has paved his own way, starring in Ponyo and Camp Rock 2 as a kid before starting a solo career as a singer. He also hosts the celebrity-relative competition show Claim to Fame alongside his oldest brother, Kevin, often poking fun at their status as the two least famous brothers of the bunch.

Who is Franklin Jonas dating?
Franklin has been dating his girlfriend, Anna Olson, since 2022. The couple went Instagram official in February of 2022, a short time after Olson had soft-launched their relationship, teasing, “My man asked me to be his girlfriend and he rented a whole a** suit and showed up with a bouquet of flowers.” While they never announced how they met, the duo likely connected while she was at The New School and he was studying at Columbia University.
Who is Kevin Jonas’ wife?
Kevin Jonas is married to former hairstylist Danielle Jonas (née Deleasa). The couple met in the Bahamas back in 2007, on vacation with their respective families. After two years of dating, Kevin surprised her by showing up at her doorstep and getting down on one knee. From there, the couple got married in 2009 and went on to star in their short-lived reality show Married to Jonas. Today, they have been together for nearly two decades.

Does Kevin Jonas have kids?
Kevin and Danielle share two daughters: Alena (11) and Valentina (9). Recently, their daughters were thrilled to follow in their parents’ (and uncles’) footsteps, making their onscreen debut in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.
At the red carpet premiere, Kevin’s daughters told Entertainment Tonight that they had “so much fun” filming. Danielle shared, “[Valentina]’s actually very shy, but then when the camera came out, I saw like a new person on her.” Looking to her oldest, Danielle added, “And then [Alena]’s always loved the whole acting kind of theater thing. ” When asked if they would act again, the second generation Jonases hit fans with a resounding yes.
“They were good. One of them came up with a really funny ad lib, and she was just, like, riffing,” cowriter and producer Isaac Aptaker told Swooon. “It was like being on a Judd Apatow set with a little girl. It was very funny.”
Does Joe Jonas have a girlfriend?
After four years of marriage, Joe Jonas got a divorce from his wife, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, back in 2023, leaving him the only single Jonas brother. While Joe has had a few short relationships since their split, he is currently single. Beyond his current love life status, Joe has been in many public relationships (and inspired multiple epic breakup songs). Check out our full relationship history recap for Joe here.

Does Joe Jonas have kids?
Joe has two daughters, Willa (5) and Delphine (3), with his ex-wife. Out of his brothers, Joe keeps his personal life the most private, so there aren’t any public pictures of his kids. During his acceptance speech for the Jonas Brothers’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he gave them a special message: “To my little ones at home, Daddy loves you to the moon and back.”
While Joe and Sophie are divorced, the exes maintain a “peaceful” coparenting relationship. He revealed, “I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I’m really grateful for. Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true.” He continued, “As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence, and know that they can do literally anything they want.”

Who is Nick Jonas’s wife?
Nick is married to Baywatch (2017) actress Priyanka Chopra. According to the duo, they met in 2017 at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, even though the two had texted multiple times after Nick had slid into Priyanka’s DMs a year prior. At the party, Nick got down on one knee in front of “a bunch of people.” From there, he joked, “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?” The couple got engaged and married in 2018, having two iconic wedding ceremonies.

Does Nick Jonas have kids?
Nick and Priyanka announced in January 2022 that they had a daughter via surrogate. Their adorable daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas (3), appears in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie alongside her mother. Discussing their choice to show Malti on camera, Nick told E! News, “We’re playing ourselves, so casting other people to be our family would not have been believable or worked. And it was just great to have them there and set the whole tone for the whole project.”
