Engaged: Jonas Wedding Around the Corner for Less-Popular Jonas Brother

Published July 2nd, 2009 by Karen

It’s Official: Screaming teenage girls around the world have one less Jonas brother to chase after, because one of the boys has just become engaged. Given the boys’ very public vows to remain virgins until they’re married, this may be the first celebrity wedding that doesn’t inspire pregnancy rumors before the big day.

The oldest member of the Jonas trio, Kevin, 21, proposed to his 22-year-old girlfriend, Danielle, Wednesday morning at her New Jersey home. Jonas had just played a concert in Canada, and flew in just to pop the question.

For his part, Kevin has seemingly been the most low-key of the brothers, failing to make headlines and attain teen heartthrob status the way younger brothers/celebrity-daters Nick and Joe normally do.

The engagement was officially announced by Jonas’s parents, Kevin Sr. and Denise, via a blog post on the band’s official website. There is also a photo of the newly-engaged couple.

The Jonas Brothers’ latest album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, was released in June.

Nick Jonas Lobbies for Diabetes Research

Nick Jonas spent yesterday lobbying Washington D.C. big shots on the need for diabetes research, even stopping for a photo op with President Barack Obama, according to an Associated Press report.

The arrival of the youngest Jonas sent Capitol Hill interns scurrying for their cameras, according to the AP. “I know some people can become star-struck and lose sight of what they’re here for, but if Nick Jonas makes juvenile diabetes a cause that people are more aware of, it’s worth it,” said Ashley Woolos, an American University student and intern in the office of Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass.

Jonas, 16, is scheduled to testify before two Senate committees today on federal funding for diabetes research. Other witnesses include boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and actress Mary Tyler Moore.

Nick Jonas publicly revealed that he has Type 1 diabetes while performing at a Diabetes Research Institute fundraiser in 2007. The Jonas Brothers released their fourth CD, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, last week.
