Nick, 26, Joe, 29, and Kevin Jonas, 31, got candid about an array of issues in Chasing Happiness, which had its premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, June 3. The tell-all documentary is the group’s first movie since Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience debuted in theaters in 2009. This new 90-minute film gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s journey to stardom, how their initial split came about in 2013 and what brought them back together again.

After announcing their comeback in February this year, the Jonas Brothers released new music with their chart-topping single “Sucker” in March, which was followed a month later by “Cool.” Their fifth studio album, Happiness Begins, will be released on Friday, June 7. It’s their first album since 2009’s Lines, Vines and Trying Times.

“After 7 years of not working together & finding ourselves we’re back to give you our journey in album form,” Kevin tweeted in April. “Out of all the albums we’ve done I’m most proud of this one. Wish you could have it now, but you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer.”

Nick’s Type I diabetes diagnosis at 13 did not get a good reaction from his big brother Joe. “I passed out in the hospital room because I couldn’t see him all hooked up to these wires,” Joe revealed.

Nick, as fans know, dated fellow Disney alum Miley Cyrus. Kevin shared that their guest appearance on Cyrus’ former show, Hannah Montana, is what “changed girls for Nick forever.” He also thought his younger brother’s “head exploded” upon meeting his former flame.

Not all Hollywood hookups proved to be successful for the popular boy band — just ask Joe. The DNCE frontman said that he held “resentment” toward an unnamed ballerina who was “talking s—t” about him. Kevin laughed as he revealed the dancer wasn’t amused by his brother’s alleged “small penis.”

Nick’s most regrettable Jonas Brothers moment was the second season of Disney Channel’s Jonas series, also known as Jonas: LA. “It was a big regret. We shouldn’t have done that,” Nick explained. “It really stunted our growth, you know? I feel like it was just a bad move. Like, it was just not the time and literally, we couldn’t evolve because of it.”

Before Joe found success with DNCE, he attempted to go solo and even dropped his debut album, Fastlife, in 2011 — but it didn’t garner much commercial success. “It was my first failure. I think it was really tough for me because I felt, like, I can’t do anything without my brothers,” he said. “It was embarrassing.”

While Nick and Joe made appearances on Kevin and his wife Danielle Jonas’ E! reality series, Married With Jonas, the eldest Jonas revealed his younger siblings “didn’t want to have anything to do with it.” Joe, however, said he and Nick didn’t find the show “fun” because they believed it would depict “all our s—t that we didn’t want people to know about.”

Ending the Jonas Brothers was not an easy move for Nick, who admitted he had a “full-on panic attack” and was “full of anxiety” the night before they split. However, Kevin revealed that at the time, Joe actually “broke down” when Nick broke up the group. Joe teared up as he recalled the split, saying: “[Nick] is my best friend and I thought me, Kevin and Nick were going to do this forever and it was us against the world.”

Despite calling it quits, Nick and Joe added more fuel to the fire by playing a Jonas Brothers show without Kevin. Joe revealed that they ditched Kevin because they thought he was “holding us back.” “The entire set was them singing all the Jonas Brothers songs together. All the big hits, all the big moments and I’m just not there,” said Kevin, as he started to get emotional. “I think that might have been the hardest moment of my life.”

Kevin said he and his brothers “weren’t really talking” when Danielle gave birth to their first child, Alena, in 2014. But his daughter’s arrival also marked “the first time” the trio saw each other since the band parted ways.

Joe has been linked to women such as Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Camilla Belle and Ashley Greene over the years but he credits wife Sophie Turner as the person who has helped him greatly. “In finding myself I was also able to find a partner,” he said. “The impact of falling in love has made me want to be a better man, a better person and, ultimately, a better brother.”
