Smooth Facts About Joe Jonas, The Heartbreak Kid
Joe Jonas has always courted the most controversy in his family. Don’t believe it? Read on.
1. He’s A Scandalous Lover
Of all the Jonas Brothers, no brother has been as scandalous as Joe Jonas. With his sweet face and smooth voice, Joe has never had any problem attracting girls—but then again, maybe that is the problem. Let’s just say, there’ssome questionable breakup behavior…and then there are his other scandals most don’t know about.
2. He Was A Troublemaker As A Kid
Despite his angelic good looks and background, Joe’s life has been naughty from the beginning. The son of a pastor and the middle brother in the Jonas family, Joe has admitted in the past that he felt hemmed in by his religious upbringing, and that he would have rather gone to punk shows than sat in pews. But one day, this world he knew fell apart.
3. He Went Through A Big Scandal As A Kid
The Jonas family was the picture of good, church-going people, even homeschooling Joe and his brothers, Kevin, Nick, and Frankie from the seventh grade onward.
But when Joe was just 14, their church—Assembly of God—went through an enormous money scandal, and the family left the institution.
Right around this confusing time, fame came to Joe in the most unlikely way.
4. His Band’s Origins Are Surprising
Many people assume that the Jonas Brothers were a pre-fabricated boy band. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, Joe’s younger brother Nick—who was constantly singing around the house and around town—got discovered in a hair salon by chance.
For a long while, it was just Nick working on an album, until Joe and Kevin decided to get in on the writing too, and their dad saw something special in all three of them. He pushed them to work together with Nick’s current team, creating the Jonas Brothers in the process. But even then, the story didn’t go how you might think.
