In case any of you care, Kevin, the oldest Jonas Brother at 21, just got engaged.   Jordin Sparks will be congratulating him when she sees  him on their next tour stop…

Kevin Jonas surprised his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa by showing up at her doorstep in New Jersey early Wednesday morning and dropping down to his knee to ask her to marry him. Presented with a cushion-cut diamond ring that Jonas designed with Jacob & Co., Deleasa couldn’t believe what was happening.

Then, “She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” the oldest of the Jonas Brothers tells PEOPLE exclusively.

    Not that I particularly care, MJ, (LOL) but is it Joe or Kevin? The article says Kevin but the headline says Joe.

  • Lu

    MJ – You need to change your headline stat! I opened up the blog and my 11 year old almost passed out. If it’s the oldest Jonas, that’s Kevin. Please change it quick – before anymore tweeners see it!

  • snuffles

    It’s KEVIN Jonas.

    Not that I particularly care, MJ, (LOL) but is it Joe or Kevin? The article says Kevin but the headline says Joe.

    LOL, I’m sure a lot of heartsick girls (and guys) went apoplectic at that headline, mj!

  • lifeisfun

    its Kevin… but I’m sure more people would read the article if it said Joe

  • abbysee

    LOL! The only Jonas Bros fan in my house is my 11 year old son, so he doesn’t care. My 12 and 18 year old girls are Archies…. :)

    My bad. I just changed it. I really can’t tell them apart. LOL.

  • girlygirl

    Don’t care about any of the Jonas brothers. Couldn’t tell you which one was which. Although that’s pretty young to get engaged — for their sake, hope it works out.

  • nuttin2lose

    he’s too too young. what’s the rush?

  • Tess

    Heh…growing up in Salt Lake City you were an old maid if you weren’t married by 22.

    he’s too too young. what’s the rush?

    He wants to rip that purity ring off and have sex.

  • snood199

    Ahh, Kevin. Known in my head as “the ugly Jonas.” Congrats anyway.

  • leome

    he’s too too young. what’s the rush?

    Sex? He’ll only do it after marriage

  • weareallinnocent

    I have to laugh, because I saw the headline on the lefthand side of your page mj and asked myself, “do I really care enough about finding out which season had a Kevin Jonas to click on that link?” Obviously, I was bored… and an idiot, because I swear the Jonas Bros never even entered my consciousness, even with them staring me in the face from my latest issue of RS. LOL

    he’s too too young. what’s the rush?

    He wants to rip that purity ring off and have sex.

    You nailed it (so to speak!)

  • jack5791

    Millions of young girl’s hearts are breaking all across the world, haha

  • Cindyy

    he’s too too young. what’s the rush?

    If you’re in love, it shouldn’t matter what age you get married (as long as you are over 18, lol). A guy I went to high school with got married around 20/21 and he is still happily married and they now have a child.

    But Congrats to Kevin and his new fiance. Wish them the best. :]

  • holeighannie

    So, as I was on MJ’s and I saw the name Kevin, at first I thought you must be reporting about Kevin Covais. After I LMAO for a bit, I actually read the story…best of luck to them, but I won’t hold my breath, haha.

  • OldHag

    He wants to rip that purity ring off and have sex

    Yep – me thinks you are right. Shame on us both for being such cynics.

  • SpenserJ

    He wants to rip that purity ring off and have sex.

    Precisely. Make a kid wear a purity ring, and by the time he’s 22, he’s either a husband or a big fat liar.

    Known in my head as ‘the ugly Jonas.’ 

    I don’t think any of them are attractive, but he’s definitely the homeliest. What with that head shaped like a triangle.

  • Matt

    Good for him. I wish the two the best.

    With that said, I don’t believe for a second he’s a virgin. At 21 yrs old, he’s pretty much at the peak of his sexual drive and there are millions of women throwing themselves at those guys. As callous as this may sound, I wouldn’t be shocked if the purity rings are used to help maintain their wholesome disney image.

  • Suzanne

    awww. That’s so sweet. Kevin Jonas has picked his first wife.

  • babyse

    Well, my 9 year old daughter is sad! She is in love with Kevin.

    My 13 year old has been a Joe fan. She had scrapbooks of Joe pics and her walls are plastered with posters.

    Of course now she pays no attention to him anymore, as she is OTT for Adam! Just like her mom. SIGH.

    The apple does not fall far from the tree.

    It’s called self-control and I for one applaud these guys! I personally know a guy who waited until he was married at 24. I’m not judging people who don’t make this decision, but if someone decides to wait I don’t think enough credit is given when people think it’s impossible.

  • Matt

    Hey cookcricket, I too applaud anybody with that kind of self control. I’m just saying I don’t believe they’re really virgins. I mean, that’s a hell of a lot of self control. We don’t know either way. If he really is, then super!

  • iluvai

    I hope they all get married and go away fast. Even my young daughters dislike them and recognize their serious lack of talent. The Jo Bro’s are also super boring when hosting or interviewing. Bleh…. BTW, I totally believe they are virgins.

  • iluvai

    Then she said, “money, money, money” like 500 times superfast in a row.

  • Suzanne

    I thought the Jonas Brothers were a riot in the digital film short from the Saturday Night Live episode they were on this winter.

  • leome

    Nothing against those who want to wait, but what is there to applaud? Why denying your body something it asks you to just because you haven’t signed some papers that make you married to someone? Does anything really change the second you get married that makes you ready to do it?
    To each their own, but it’s not something I’ll applaud. I’ll applaud those who are mature enough to know marriage is a big thing and don’t jump on it fast and furious.

  • iluvai

    That makes sense to me!!!!

  • tinawina

    Poor Kevin is no match for the cynical idol posters. LOL. Marrying young is common among some communities that stress abstinence, but not when one of them is a big star. That is one stressful situation for a young couple just starting out. I wish them all the luck in the world.

    Matt, I agree we don’t know either way. I just don’t think kids are given enough credit when it’s assumed that they can’t use self-control in this area. That’s all, just wanted to give my opinion, which may very well be the unpopular one. :)

  • lizland

    Ahh, Kevin. Known in my head as ‘the ugly Jonas.’ 

    LOL. My niece and I were discussing the Jo Bros today and we had a meeting of the minds using almost this exact phrase.

  • hypertwink

    Ah, my favorite Jonas. I think among the brothers, he has the least controversial love life so hopefully, he and Danielle succeed in the fishbowl existence that the JoBros lead.

  • JohnM

    iluvai: I hope they all get married and go away fast. Even my young daughters dislike them and recognize their serious lack of talent. The Jo Bro’s are also super boring when hosting or interviewing.

    While they’re not very good singers (although my wife insists that Nick’s singing will improve as his adolescent voice settles down), Nick, who’s the one who got the label’s attention in the first place, is a pretty talented multi-instrumentalist and a prolific songwriter. They’ve done some damn good pop-rock, thanks in large part to Nick. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other two will fade away and he’ll continue to be very successful, at least as a songwriter and producer if not as a frontman.

    As for their interviews, I don’t know what interviews you’ve seen, but I’ve seen several in which they’ve been hilarious. They’re a very good interview — very quick wits.

    tinawina: That is one stressful situation for a young couple just starting out.

    Kinda like Kris and Katy Allen?? :smile_wp:

  • carolinacharms

    Too young. Hope it works out.

  • marktan229

    Aww. I’m happy for him. Though hopefully he won’t get off of The Jonas Brothers.
    I mean if he does. Then the band is screwed. But, I’m still happy. (:

    And it doesn’t matter if he’s young or not. He’s in love.
    And it’s his choice if he wants to get married or not…

  • CFIdolsfan

    There are guys that do have that self-control, and it is indeed an admirable thing, :-) . Many teach our kids to wait until marriage. Some couples even go so far to not kiss until they have been pronounced husband and wife. I haven’t gotten much into the brothers. Maybe it’s because I have sons, not daughters, lol. But I wish Kevin the best.

  • tinawina

    Kinda like Kris and Katy Allen??

    Well yes, actually. I worry about them too. And those two have the benefit of knowing each other a lot longer, and having something of a normal existence before fame hit. But as I said before, I wish Kevin and his future bride all the luck in the world!

  • St.Lucia

    Well maybe Kevin wanted to make an honest woman out of her…lol.

    If a baby pops out nine months later I’m going to go PURITY RING! PURITY RING!

    Hey, you never know, maybe he just couldn’t commit to the purity ring and did something bad. (bad for him and his family, not bad in the rest of the world sense)

    Or maybe he’s just wanting to marry her. Who knows.

    But I like the conspiracy all the same. :)

    Not that I really care much about the JoBros, but they are pretty inescapable.

  • jacie

    i think there was an article that came out where the writer called joe the hot one, nick the cute one, and kevin the other one because no one seems to remember him. the fans went nuts about it, but i thought it was funny.

    anyway, i wish kevin and the girl a long and happy and successful marriage. :)

  • oceana

    Which one(s) did Miley and Taylor Swift date? I can’t tell them apart either. My guess would be Nick, if he’s the talented one.

  • LK09

    FWIW- I agree. For kids who are taught this from a young age, it IS possible. They do it for religious reasons. Good for them.

    Someone wrote about Kris Allen:

    Well yes, actually. I worry about them too. And those two have the benefit of knowing each other a lot longer, and having something of a normal existence before fame hit.

    I wonder about someone having a normal existence before fame hits. I would think that at least Kevin and his new wife would be used to the stardom and everything that comes with it. I worry more about Kris and Katy since fame could change him drastically, and she could have a very hard time after a while with how fans come after Kris. On the other hand, I see Kris’s fans being more like DA’s fans, and embracing the whole family. It will be interesting to see.

    Too young. Hope it works out.

    I know many couples who married young and made it. My mom was 18 and my dad was 24 when they got married and today 28 years later, they are the most in love couple i know!

    My best friend was 21 and her husband was 24 when they got married and it’s worked out great for them! And I’ll add to that, both were virgins (*gasp*) when they got married, so the jonas bros aren’t the only ones!

    I don’t think that just because they’re young doesn’t mean it won’t work out.

    Good points. Kris doesn’t seem like the type to change too much so I worry about that kind of thing less with him. Its the separation part… not being able to see and talk to each other often, especially for the one who is not living their dream. Not only have they been apart since February, they are not likely to get any significant amount of time together until he comes off touring for his album, some time (hopefully) late next year. Maybe a week or two here and there, but that’s about it. And he will often be so busy that he can’t even call her some days. I always worry about the married idols who get signed for that reason. They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

  • LK09

    They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

    I hope so too.

    My mom was 18 and my dad 26 and they are still married 54 years later. I often think people have more of a chance if they have some sort of faith they share together, but I don’t remember my dad ever setting foot in a Sunday service.

  • cookcricket

    RE: Kris and Katy

    They’re such a sweet couple, I hope they pull through.

    Me too!:) I remember reading where Chris Daughtry was giving some advice to Kris about the marriage/fame thing. I was touched by this and hope it all pays off.

    ^^^LK09: I always love hearing about these long lasting marriages. It gives us all hope ya’ know! Sadly, my parents were married for 30 years before getting divorced and my dad did go to church on a regular basis.

  • LK09

    Crookcricket- Sorry, that is sad to be married that long and then break up…..

  • Tess

    Since this is probably the final post and no one will remember it I’ll just say that if you are both virgins when you get married at least you can go through life wondering “is this all that there is” instead of knowing that you are missing something.
