Jonas Brothers Celebrate Parents’ 40th Anniversary with Surprise Party as Tour Kicks Off
The Jonas Brothers pulled off a stylish surprise to honor a major family milestone, throwing Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas a black-tie celebration in the New York area to mark their 40th wedding anniversary. Kevin Sr., now 60, and Denise, 59, were married on August 15, 1985, and are the loving parents of four sons: Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Frankie.
The intimate party, held on Monday, August 11, drew loved ones from near and far to celebrate the couple’s decades-long union and the family’s close bonds. The gathering reflected the couple’s joyous milestone and the support system that has helped the Jonas siblings reach global stardom.
Meanwhile, the brothers were just getting their 20th anniversary on the road. The Jonas Brothers kicked off their Greetings From Your Hometown tour with a show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, one day before the party. The opening night saw the trio performing more than two dozen of their biggest hits, including Lovebug, Love Me to Heaven, S.O.S., Leave Before You Love Me, Year 3000 and Burnin’ Up. They also threw in crowd-pleasing cuts from their side projects, such as Joe’s band DNCE’s Cake by the Ocean and Nick’s solo hit Jealous.
Adding to the night’s excitement, the brothers welcomed four surprise guests on stage: Switchfoot, Jesse McCartney, Dean Lewis and Demi Lovato. Lovato, who co-starred with the brothers in Camp Rock and previously dated Joe Jonas, joined in for a memorable moment that audiences won’t soon forget. The group closed the show with When You Look Me in the Eyes, a moment that brought Kevin Sr., Denise, Frankie and other family members on stage to celebrate together.
The tour—launched just after the Friday, August 8 release of their seventh studio album, also titled Greetings From Your Hometown—is planned to run through mid-November with stops across the United States and Canada. In discussing the tour beforehand, Joe Jonas told People that the band plans to deliver the best possible show every night and to keep things fun and fresh for fans who’ve supported them for two decades. The brothers’ enthusiasm and gratitude for their fans—and for each other—remain clear as they navigate a milestone year.
What this moment underscores is the Jonas Brothers’ enduring family ties and broad appeal. They’ve built a career that blends front-and-center performances, collaborations, and a continued ability to surprise audiences, all while celebrating personal milestones with the people who matter most.
Summary: A milestone year for the Jonas Brothers, marked by a heartfelt 40th wedding anniversary party for their parents, alongside the kickoff of a 20th-anniversary tour and new album, showcasing the family’s unity, longevity, and ongoing connection with fans.
Positive note: The sequence of family celebration, high-energy performances, and guest appearances paints a hopeful picture of continued growth, collaboration, and joy for both the band and their supporters.
