As youngsters, the Jonas Brothers gained popularity, captivating audiences not only by their music but also due to their choice of wearing purity rings. This fashion choice led to them being questioned in an awkward manner regarding their personal lives, particularly their sexual activities and religious beliefs, during their teenage years, a fact admitted by Nick and Joe Jonas.
On the recent broadcast of Penn Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast, Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas shared that they frequently faced inquiries regarding their decision to abstain from physical intimacy before marriage during the initial stages of their careers.
As a dedicated admirer, I’d like to rephrase this: Joe asserted that certain journalists would imply they belonged to a “cult” unless they shared their views on specific topics. This observation by Badgley suggests that some reporters were essentially inquiring about sensitive matters, comparable to asking a 10-year-old about their personal life.
Nick commented on how much progress has been made in the openness surrounding discussions about sex, given that he was over 10 when first questioned about it. He expressed his approval, stating it’s a positive development. He also pointed out that it’s no longer unheard of for someone to discuss such matters with a 14-year-old.
Joe mentioned that similar questions were asked during “each job interview,” leading Nick to highlight a broader issue. He stated, “It wasn’t just our generation. It was an entire group of young adults facing this problem.
At approximately 15 years old, Joe expressed that he often felt compelled to address the topic of purity rings during interviews. Additionally, questions concerning his religious beliefs were deemed intrusive, and he asserted that he had been questioned about whether he held faith in a higher power.
Previously in our discussion, the lead singer of DNCE clarified that purity rings were commonly used “among members of their church.” He further added that many individuals around the age of 10 and 11 would wear these rings. Joe then highlighted that they donned the rings as a symbol of their choice to be patient and wait for the right person.
Joe mentioned that uncomfortable questions were typically posed during recorded conversations, which made them feel compelled to respond honestly. In essence, he expressed that all three of us shared this sentiment. He felt a sense of obligation, as if saying something in writing once meant they had to abide by it, creating a permanent expectation. It’s like, “We have to maintain these lives because we essentially declared it on paper,” he explained.
Joe added, ‘Clearly, it would be unsettling and cause anxiety for us, until we reached a stage where we said, ‘Enough is enough.’ This was because we felt determined to discover our identities independently.’
Joe mentioned that it wasn’t until the band took a temporary hiatus in 2013 that each member felt empowered to make their own personal decisions. While Joe admitted that it was initially “terrifying and somewhat perplexing” when they went their separate ways, he also pointed out that it prompted them to explore life independently.
