The Jonas Brothers are an American pop-rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network. They consist of three brothers: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas.
They starred in the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock and its 2010 sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. They also starred in their own Disney Channel series Jonas, which was rebranded as Jonas L.A. for its second season.
The band have released five albums: It’s About Time (2006), Jonas Brothers (2007), A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), and Happiness Begins (2019).
In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards.
Six years following their split, the group reunited with the release of “Sucker” on March 1, 2019. The song became the 34th song in history to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the Jonas Brothers’ first number-one single on the chart.
Did the Jonas Brothers keep their purity rings?
They all eventually took off their purity rings after the band temporarily broke up in 2013, while the men have become more open about the topic, as well as the attention surrounding the rings, in recent years.
“The funny thing is, we were never gonna talk about it,” Joe told James Corden during a 2019 episode of The Late Late Show’s Carpool Karaoke segment. “Of course, you have three young boys wearing rings on their fingers, and everyone is like, ‘Are they married already?’
We were in an interview one day and the guy asked about them, and we said we didn’t wanna talk about them. And he said, ‘Well, I’m just gonna say you’re in a cult.’”
“The next thing you know, it was the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings,” he added. “We decided at one point, look, this is not who we are … this is annoying, people are making fun of it anyway, we can make fun of it ourselves.”
In recent years, Kevin, Joe and Nick have been able to make light of their purity rings and have cracked jokes about the situation in social media posts and interviews.
