The Jonas Brother You Don’t Care About Is Engaged

Don’t worry, guys. Nick hasn’t proposed to Miley. Joe “Type 1” Jonas hasn’t gone running back to Taylor Swift begging for forgiveness (as he ought to). No, it’s the other Jonas, the one who’s always half-hidden in photo shoots and videos, like a boy-band Carnie Wilson. I believe his name is Kevin, although it may be Mike. Or Steve. Or Dale. Not sure.

Anyway, The Other Jonas proposed to his girlfriend of two years this morning at her New Jersey home with a ring he’d “codesigned” with Jacob & Co. How does one “codesign” a ring? Like, “Yes. It should have a diamond. You can quote me on that.”

He took a red-eye to Jersey after his show in Vancouver last night. “It was tough performing last night,” he said, “knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world.”

The couple met in May 2007 while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas. The bride-to-be, Danielle Deleasa, claims she had no idea who Kevin was when she met him. OK then. That’s my plan. When I “run into” Adrian Grenier while “on vacation” with my “family,” I’m going to be all like, “Oh hi there. Who are you? I’ve never seen anyone who looks remotely like you ever in my life, and certainly not on TV. Wanna buy me a drink?”

  • Errr…isn’t Nick Jonas the one with the type 1 diabetes? Or whoever is the youngest has it, I think!

    • Obviously he’s got Type 1. Based on his glasses he’s going blind, for christs sake.

      • This is Kevin Jonas in the picture! (Nick is the one who has diabetes and Beet mistakenly named Joe as the one with the disorder)

      • Frankly Kris, I’d be embarrassed to admit I even knew the difference. Isn’t it past your bedtime?

    • Yep, its Nick. My daughter went to the concert the other night and told me he was crying while talking about it.

  • ohhh you don’t know how many times i laughed out loud while reading this article. beet i missed reading your writing!

    • I came in here to comment on the same thing!
      The first paragraph made me spit out my museli.

      I scrolled up to see who’s post it was & was delighted & not surprised.

  • This is what happens when young people take a vow of chastity. They end up getting married way too young so they can get some without being “bad and dirty.” I am all for sexual responsibility, but there is also something to be said for taking a few test drives…and perhaps tying ones self over for a few years, rather that marrying someone because they happen to be the person you are dating when your poor blue balls just can’t take it any more.

  • Well knowing the Jonas brothers like I do… I mean I’ve heard “Been to the year 3000 like a million times, he means it. He’s totally in love. He cant wait to meet his great grand daughter, he’d doing fine. Doing fine.

    • The Jonases didn’t write those lyrics. It would appear they have covered my beloved Busted. (They were a boy band in Britain) How dare they!

      • I just youtubed it and they’ve changed the words to be more… parent/child friendly?
        In the original version the grand daughter is ‘pretty’ fine and they have completely changed the line ‘triple-breasted women swim around town totally naked’
        I couldn’t listen any further after that.

  • I’s def way too early for him to tie the knot, he’s at my age and knowing myself I wouldn’t dare thinking about it before I reach at least 25-26, leave alone while I’m not even 22 yet. She must be a nice girl, and he must be a guy who’s really in love but as my mom says – Love comes and goes, it’s your children and yourself who remain. I doubt it he’s looking for kids already so I don’t see any point in getting married so young. Also he’s with his gf for 2 yrs now, it’s how long I am with my boyfriend and although we are so close and all is great, I wouldn’t consider marrying him just yet. I hope he isn’t making a mistake bcz he seems like a sweet boy.

    • Omgosh, you’re right! Danielle looks just like Haylie Duff. But no, her name’s Danielle Deleasa or something like that. :)

  • I was actually thinking along the same lines of “Isn’t he too young?” particularly because he’s only about 22 or 23. But they’ve been going out for two years now, apparently. If they were actually tired of seeing each others’ faces then they’d have ended it somewhere along that time.

    Besides, Joe was so sick of Taylor Swift’s (incredibly stunning, adorable and gorgeous) face that he felt he couldn’t wait ’til he was looking her in the mug to break up. And while on that note, Beet, I disagree. I think Taylor Swift should sever any ties with these guys and blame her little fling with Joe on “being young and reckless.” She should find someone better to make sweet music with (can be taken in the literal sense if she decides to go for a musician who is actually taken seriously).

    And she didn’t know who she was when she met him? I don’t know if I should call bullshit on that or not, since I think the Jonas Brothers actually only started rising to prominence in 2007. But yeah, that’s exactly how the fangirl fanfictions start. Little Miss Mary-Sue happens to stumble upon a Jonas while having no clue who (s)he is and this somehow enamours the JoBro of her choice. It’s the stuff tween girls’ fantasies are made of.

  • My husband designed my ring, some guys just go in and see a ring and buy it but most rings that have a diamond larger then 1 carat are designed by the person who buys the ring. so my man picked a 1.5 carat stone, and the metal, (white or yellow gold or platinum) then a band and the prongs he lliked from a book so thats 4 things he got to customize and they made the ring and sent it to him a few weeks later, i love the ring and the fact that he put so much time into making it perfect for me and that there ais no other ring like it makes it really special. props to mike or nick or who ever he is.

  • A male Carnie Wilson…bwah! Guess ya have to be certain age or have seen way too much “historical” music video to laugh at that. Poor thing really did end up with Uncle Potato Head’s genes, no? Maybe he should try a different haircut; that one just makes his head look twice as big. But then his face would stand out even more….eh, I’ve used up my Jonai commentary for the year…hell, the millenia.

  • The Jonas brothers come from happily married parents. They’ve seen that relationship all their lives. I think Kevin has a great chance of being happy. Be ready for Joe in the next 2 yrs-maybe sooner.
    Nick will be 17 in Sept. but he will be a family man like all of them one day. I’m happy for every Jonas and I love their music.

  • Of course he’s engaged!
    He’s tired of being a “virgin”… or at least pretending he is.

    OH! And she may be the “most amazing girl in the world”… but an Immaculate Mary Mother, she aint.
    I’m sure of it.
    10 to 1 that chick is pregnant.
