The Jonas Brothers recently opened up about their experiences with fatherhood and revealed some of the “alternate truths” they share with their daughters. In a clip from the upcoming Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals episode with host Josh Scherer, Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas discussed their 20th-anniversary tour and new album, Greetings From Your Hometown.
During their conversation, the topic shifted to fatherhood, prompting the brothers to share personal anecdotes. Kevin Jonas, father to 11-year-old Alena and 8-year-old Valentina (whom he shares with wife Daniella Jonas), admitted to telling a particular fib about marshmallow fluff. “My kids just discovered fluff. It’s dangerous, … but that’s a one and done,” he explained. “They don’t sell it anymore, is what I’m going with,” the 37-year-old musician and actor added.
When Scherer inquired about lying to their children in general, the brothers offered varying perspectives. Nick Jonas, who shares 3-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas with wife Priyanka Chopra, quipped, “I try not to lie to them at all,” which led Kevin to humorously interject, “I lied a lot.”
Nick elaborated on his approach: “There are times you have to sort of give an alternate truth, [or] a different path. Because, you know, it’s not a big enough thing to have the house crumble, but just little, like bribing a 3½ year old to get off the iPad is a thing. It takes a lot of focus and self-belief.”
Aligning with his brother’s stance, Joe Jonas, father to 5-year-old Willa and 3-year-old Delphine (from his previous marriage to Sophie Turner), shared his thoughts on fibbing. “I try not to. I mean, they’re not watching this, but you know, there’s a few characters that we all get presents from that they may think exist. That would be a healthy fib, I think,” the 35-year-old stated.
The Greetings From Your Hometown tour is set to commence on August 10, 2025, and will conclude on November 14, 2025.
