00:00 -Clearing out the Regis song.
00:02 Your dad's name? -Joe Jonas.
00:07 -Who are they?
00:08 -Joe Jonas is getting emotional onstage.
00:11 The Jonas Brothers singer, alongside Nick and Kevin Jonas,
00:14 dedicated their song "Little Bird"
00:16 to a fan whose father passed away during their concert
00:19 on August 25th in Chicago.
00:23 -This is for you and your dad.
00:26 Of course, this one's all about becoming a parent, what that means.
00:31 And sorry for your loss, but we love you.
00:36 No one can fix anything, but this one's for you.
00:40 -In videos obtained by fans,
00:42 the moment seemed to get Joe choked up
00:45 as he wiped tears away from his eyes.
00:48 The interaction comes just days after Kevin was seen crying
00:51 during the song in Toronto,
00:53 after the band dedicated their performance to a woman
00:56 who lost her daughter named Valentina,
00:59 the same name as the 35-year-old's youngest child.
01:03 -What is your little bird's name?
01:05 -Valentina. -Valentina.
01:07 -Valentina.
01:08 -Mariana Valentina.
01:11 -I'll get you a hug.
01:13 [cheers and applause]
01:16 -This one's for Valentina, okay?
01:26 She's here with us tonight for sure, okay?
01:28 We love you.
01:30 -All three brothers are fathers to their own daughters.
01:33 Joe shares two girls with his wife, Sophie Turner.
01:35 Nick and his wife, Priyanka Chopra,
01:38 are parents to 1-year-old Malti Marie.
01:40 And Kevin and his wife, Danielle, have 9-year-old Alina
01:43 and 6-year-old Valentina together.
01:45 "Little Bird" is a track from the trio's latest work,
01:48 the album, about their kids.
01:50 In June 2023, Kevin and Frankie Jonas
01:53 joined Access Daily's Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover
01:57 and opened up about their family bond.
02:00 -We've literally grown up with you guys.
02:01 As a matter of fact, I think we have a little footage
02:03 from our Access vault back in 2008.
02:05 -Oh, boy. -What was going on right here?
02:07 Let's see. -Look at that.
02:09 -Wait, is that -- Franklin, is that you?
02:11 -Is that you right there in the middle?
02:13 -Yes, that is tiny little you. -That's not you.
02:14 -Yeah, that's Franklin. I can tell.
02:15 -Oh, that's me. -Oh, my goodness.
02:17 You're so cute. -Oh, that's funny.
02:19 -Matching with Nick, too. -Hey, still wearing the stripes.
02:21 -Still wearing the stripes. -The stripes on deck.
02:23 Always, always. -And back in 2008
02:26 was the premiere of "Camp Rock."
02:27 -Wow. -15 years ago.
02:28 -That might have been the premiere right there.
02:30 -Was that it right there? -Maybe.
02:31 I think it was, actually. -Oh, my gosh.
02:32 -That's insane. 15 years ago. Yeah.
02:34 -And was that your first movie, Kevin?
02:35 -We've been doing this for too long, guys.
02:37 -I was like this. -It was crazy to think
02:39 that it's been going on for that long.
02:40 You know, we're about to head out on this tour in August,
02:43 and we're doing the five albums and one night thing,
02:45 and it's just overwhelming to think about
02:48 how many albums it's been
02:49 but how long it's been to go through it all.
02:51 And 15 years is crazy. -Wow.
02:53 -We're about to head towards the 20-year
02:55 of doing all this stuff together.
02:57 -That's awesome, though, the longevity
02:58 to be able to keep it up. -Yeah.
03:00 -Didn't think we'd make it this far.
03:02 -Who was the -- The musical influence
03:05 came from mom and dad? Or was it dad?
03:07 -Our dad is definitely, you know,
03:08 the musician in the family.
03:09 He's like, "You think we can sing? He can sing."
03:13 And so he just -- Music was always in the household.
03:16 So, like, we grew up listening to it.
03:17 Obviously, we grew up in the church, as well.
03:18 And so, like, you know, learning to play there,
03:21 hearing music, being a part of that environment,
03:23 and then, of course, "Brothers on Broadway,"
03:24 and it just continued to go from there.
03:26 -Nice. -And it passed down to Franklin.
03:28 Franklin, tell everybody what you've got going on.
03:30 -I just released my first debut EP called "Sword."
03:33 -Yeah. -It's really good.
03:35 -Thank you so much. That's so sweet of you.
03:37 Yeah, it's been a labor of love and a passion
03:39 and something I've worked on for a really long time
03:42 and didn't know if I was ever going to put it out there.
03:44 And I had some really supportive people in my life who --
03:46 Oh, there it is. That's it. Ha-ha.
03:48 -Is it hard, Franklin, having these guys as your brothers
03:51 to now -- with music?
03:52 Like, has that been a challenge or no?
03:53 -No, it's the greatest blessing in the world.
03:55 I have -- I -- You know, in the modern zeitgeist,
03:57 I grew up watching "The Greats," right?
03:59 And so I get to have those people in my life
04:02 to mentor me and to look up to
04:04 and to show me how to do this thing.
04:06 -He's doing it his own way. It's great. I love it.
04:08 -What was I just going to say? How would you describe your sound?
04:10 Is it essentially in the same sort of space or --
04:13 -Definitely not. -Okay.
04:15 -It's eclectic. It's a lot of different things.
04:17 I like to toy with genres.
04:19 And it all starts with samples, and then I just go from there.
04:22 And so we played "Stagecoach," which was an amazing opportunity
04:25 because we have some country songs on the record.
04:27 We have some weird EDM stuff.
04:29 Oh, that, too. Hey! -Hey!
04:31 -And, yeah, it's just been the greatest experience in the world.
04:34 And it's -- To follow in the family business, as it were, is --
04:39 -Keep it in the family. -Yeah.
04:40 -Yeah, exactly. -Kevin, what advice
04:42 do you give him, if any?
04:43 -You know, I really don't give him that much advice.
04:45 I just say, like, be present and enjoy the moment, right,
04:47 'cause it goes so fast. But the realistic thing is,
04:49 I think we've supported Franklin in a way
04:51 that let him do his own thing.
04:53 Like, do it -- Craft your own -- Like, forge your own path.
04:55 Do it your way. We did it ours. Don't do the same thing.
04:58 -How involved is dad?
05:00 -Dad's involved in some capacity.
05:02 More just dad now, right?
05:03 You know, I think that's what we want him to be.
05:05 More so, he's actually more busy with all the granddaughters
05:08 is really what it comes down to. -That's the cutest.
05:09 -So he gets to just be dad. -Yeah.
05:10 -But growing up, probably -- -Growing up, he was a manager
05:12 at the time, and then after a bit of change,
05:16 it was like, "All right, it's time for the boys
05:18 to kind of do our own thing."
05:19 And so now -- But, you know, it's just dad being dad.
05:22 -Yeah, well, that's the best. -Franklin, your brothers
05:24 were kind of dads to you growing up, all of them.
05:26 What's it like for you now to see each one as a dad?
05:29 Let's describe them all.
05:30 So how would you describe Kevin as a dad?
05:31 -I mean, he joined it first, so now he's like the --
05:34 He's the guy who sort of -- -The grandpova.
05:36 -Exactly. He was the first to become a dad
05:39 and to watch him sort of --
05:40 He inspired the rest of them, right,
05:42 in the way that they father, I think.
05:43 And he just has such dedication to those kids.
05:47 And he -- I mean, he was leaving set on the weekend
05:50 when he could to go to Jersey just to see them.
05:52 And he spends so much time and so much effort
05:55 just to be around them as much as possible.
05:57 And, I mean, the rest of them, they're just --
05:59 They're all such great dads.
06:00 And I think we owe a lot to our father.
06:02 -What about Nick? We were at the Hollywood Star.
06:05 That little baby, it was hot, it was everything.
06:07 She was perfect. -Yeah.
06:08 -She's amazing. She's a little monkey.
06:10 I love her. -Yeah, she's great.
06:12 -It's nice that all the wives get along, too.
06:13 -Yeah, no, it's fantastic. -And that's not the case.
06:15 Believe me, it's bad. -It can be difficult.
06:17 No, luckily, like, every part of our family
06:19 has grown to really support each other
06:21 and, you know, be equal parts, you know, family,
06:23 but also just friends and, like --
06:25 We were just talking about the kids,
06:26 but, like, one of the things we do
06:27 is we don't give any child advice on kids.
06:30 That's our golden rule.
06:31 Like, we do not give parenting advice to each other.
06:33 And I think it's actually the most healthy version
06:35 of the thing because no one wants unsolicited advice
06:38 about anything, especially the way you're raising kids.
06:39 -But is the favorite uncle -- -A Franklin.
06:42 -Uncle Franklin. -Of course.
06:44 Yeah, he's the funcle.
06:45 -I'm the resident uncle. I have one job.
06:47 I don't have any kids to come home to.
06:49 I have one job.
06:51 -Enjoy that, Player. -Yeah.
06:53 -As long as you can, buddy. -I love it.
06:55 Kevin, is it true you're double-jointed in every finger?
06:57 I am. It's weird.
06:58 I know it's, like, a weird thing, but --
06:59 Wait, no, we got to demonstrate here, Player.
07:01 Do that right there. But then this is the weird one.
07:04 -Wait. Whoa! -Whoa!
07:07 Wait, I want to be able to do that.
07:09 Watch it pop. I'm going to go to this camera, okay?
07:12 -Oh! -Oh!
07:14 Oh, we can't get you in any sort of jujitsu.
07:16 Could you do a back handspring right now?
07:18 -Push come to shove. -No way.
07:20 -I'm seeing -- He's a great gymnast.
07:23 -I was earlier in my life.
07:24 But, yeah, no, I tried to do one
07:25 because my daughter's joined gymnastics.
07:26 And they're like, "Daddy, you said you could."
07:27 And I did it. I was like, "Oh, my God."
07:29 -Did you run? Did you, like, a round-off
07:30 back handspring, back flip? -Oh, yeah, full.
07:31 I can still do it, sure. But, like, it, like --
07:33 -You got to warm up. -I was like, "Oh, God."
07:36 My legs and, like, groin.
07:37 -Wait, please do we have the video?
07:39 Please give us a little gymnastics here
07:41 before we go out. This is unbelievable.
07:42 -Oh, yeah, here we go. -Yeah!
07:44 -With a roundhouse kick. -Okay.
07:47 -♪♪ I'm gonna run and dance ♪♪
07:49 -Wait, what is this for?
07:51 -So, we did this thing for the Olympics last year.
07:54 Oh, two years ago, I guess, and now.
07:55 I can't believe time flies.
07:57 And it was great. It was this special
07:59 where they ran me, Joe, and Nick
08:00 through all of the things for the Olympics.
08:03 It was quite -- -I thought you were just
08:04 chilling on a Tuesday right now.
08:05 -It got so competitive, Nick broke ribs doing --
08:09 -That's right. -Yeah.
08:10 -Nick broke ribs doing the bicycle race.
08:13 And, yeah, so that was fun.
08:15 -Oh, nothing's more competitive than when you're siblings.
08:17 -Yeah, it's just like, "All right,
08:18 we're gonna do this insane thing.
08:19 Now we're gonna get more --" -Here we go.
08:21 -Right. -Franklin, you got any moves?
08:22 -I mean, not like that. Not like Kevin.
08:24 Definitely not like Kevin. No.

08:28 pole-vaulting competitions. -Yeah.
