One of Mama Jonas’s little boys is all grown up and ready to be officially seduced by a harlot hairdresser. People has confirmed that Kevin Jonas, 21, has proposed to his hairdresser girlfriend Danielle Deleasa, and she accepted. For those of us who don’t know (or perhaps don’t care) about the Jonas Brothers, Kevin is the oldest. Which is weird, because I always thought Joe was the oldest. Joe seems older and looks older – but he’s the middle brother of the official JoBros. Kevin’s little brothers tweeted their congratulations to their big brother while Mama Jonas, her heart breaking with thoughts of the impurity of seduction within a marriage, released a statement saying she and her husband’s “hearts are filled with joy.”
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.
Jonas, 21, and Deleasa, 22, who met in May of 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas, haven’t set a wedding date yet. “It still feels like a dream,” she tells PEOPLE.
When Deleasa, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas two years ago, she admits, “I didn’t know who the Jonas Brothers were.” It was Kevin who eagerly pursued her after meeting her and then spotting her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.
Jonas popped the question after arriving in New Jersey on an overnight flight from a concert in Vancouver. “It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” he says.
And while the news is bound to break a lot of young girls’ hearts, the Jonas family couldn’t be happier.
“Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage,” parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. say in a statement to PEOPLE. “Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family’s celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support.”
And younger brothers Joe and Nick said on their Twitter page: “Congrats big brother…..Dani welcome to the family, we can’t wait to have you join us on the road!”

Well… good for them. None of it is my cup of tea, but then again I’m not a member of the Jonas family. Different strokes, et cetera. Here’s a question – how could Kevin have been dating a former or current hairdresser for two years, and she’s never done anything to that crazy mop on his head? Just askin’. Congratulations to the happy couple, and God bless.

i don’t care what anyone says, i think he’s cute…congrats
Behold the power of a purity ring, inspiring 21 year olds to get married far before they’re ready.
21 is seriously seriously TOO young. I would be on medication if my son chose this road. And I would assume within only a year I’d be watching my grandchild by myself while phoning (begging) my daughter-in-law to call her husband……or vice versa.
You never know when you’re ready to get married. Some people marry at 21, like my parents, and live (mostly) happily every after.
Others marry at the currently socially-approved age of 28 to 35 and it doesn’t work out.
Still others shop around forever for the right one (like me) and never end up getting married at all.
It’s different for everyone.
Wedding Night DVD coming soon…
Agreed Javelin!
damn! 21 and his gun is never been fired, so he says. he probably cleans it everyday practicing for the big night. Talk about premature evacuation on his wedding night. Congrats and Good luck, kid
I was married at 22, for some people, it does work.
She looks like she belongs in a Bon Jovi video.
i just realized I never saw a Jonas brother picture up close, and I’m disappointed to see that this is what all the girls are going crazy for these days 🙁
She’s cute. He gonna need that free hairdresser to work on his locks. Except her hair’s nothing to brag about either.
Of course she said yes 500 times in a row. She probably figured she’d get a million per yes when their divorce comes around.
she looks like a jersey version of haylie duff. she’s a former hairdresser? what does she do now? 22 is a little young to be a former anything. jonas brother = cha ching!
LOL @ Bros.
We all know this is not gonna last. After getting laid, his eyes will finally see “the light”.
Congrats!
I’m not a fan so I don’t know their backstory, but 21 is NOT too young to get married!
Those purity rings kids often get married young. It’s like they’re from a different time because they see positive marriages growing up — from their parents and their community — so they may have a better sense of what they are getting to.
For example, Taylor Hanson got married at 18! Now 8 years and 4 kids later, they’re still going strong!
Best of luck to Kevin and Danielle!
Be nice now people. They won’t break up. People that committed to “purity” don’t believe in divorce either. We can watch this train wreck for years at least.
*makes some popcorn* besides the JoHo Fans will be getting pretty uppity right about now-lets start the fireworks!
you know what cracked me up about the whole engagement thing? they’ve been dating for two years. there is no freaking way they would not have had sex in those two years. purity rings, my arse. at least the farce is over. 😉 i’ll bet the farm that even if they didn’t do actual p-v insertion they were doing all the other stuff and that is sex, no matter what kids call it, goodnight kisses or whatever, these days. 😮
she looks like a jersey version of haylie duff.
BROS! Sometimes I swear we’re running on the same wave length because I was thinking the EXACT same thing!! HAHA
And to be fair, they probably didn’t have sex…which is why they’re getting married so young, so that they CAN have sex and somehow it’s “ok”.
they aren’t necessarily too young to be married. i’m 22, engaged to be married and have never had sex. im waiting til i get married and that doesn’t make me weird. if they’re happy and they’re ready, then thats awesome.
she does look like haylie duff though. =P
Bros,
That’s the first thing I thought of too. At first I thought it was Haylie Duff.
Javelin, I so agree!
And as a hairdresser, I literally couldn’t date anyone with that hair. Thank Goddess my husband lets me cut his hair, lol. But..ok ok I’d love him even if he didn’t let me cut it. Unless it was like a Jonas.
I find your subject line soooo patronizing. She’s a hairdresser, so what??? Does it make her any less (or more) fit for marrying him? C’mon we’re in 2009!
Is it just me, or does she look like Haylie Duff? LOL! …
same thing i thought! haylie duff?
Try and find a closer picture of her face…she has this very odd peice of extra skin under her nose. If I find it, I will post the link.
