Relive the Highs and Lows of the Jonas Brothers' Career: Breakup, Makeup and More

The Jonas Brothers have come a long way since they started in 2005. Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas not only broke records, sold out arenas and won awards as a musical trio, but they each achieved success on their own as well after they broke up in 2013. Nick became a household name as a solo artist when he signed to Island Records and released “Jealous” in September 2014, nearly a year after the JoBros announced their split due to a “deep rift” within the group. He also made strides in his personal life, tying the knot with actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in December 2018. Joe, on the other hand, formed the band DNCE with drummer Jack Lawless, bassist Cole Whittle and guitarist JinJoo Lee in 2015. Their song “Cake by the Ocean” quickly became a fan favorite and featured in films including Pitch Perfect 3, Bad Moms and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. The middle Jonas Brother announced his engagement to Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner in October 2017, and a source later told Us Weekly that their wedding is set to take place in summer 2019 in France. [jwplayer Ajc9sCTx-l3ahXupL] Kevin pursued passions other than music after the group came to an end. In 2013, he co-founded real estate development company JonasWerner. Two years later, he created a food-finding app called Yood and became the host of mobile trivia game show Pop Culture Live in August 2018. The eldest of the siblings celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary with wife Danielle Jonas in December 2018 and the pair share two daughters: Alena and Valentina. While the Jonas Brothers have been progressing as individuals in recent years, fans freaked out in February 2019 when Us confirmed that the band is planning to reunite under the name “JONAS.” Keep scrolling to take a trip down memory lane and relive all the highs and lows of the group's career!

The Start of It All

After starting off on Broadway at the age of 7, Nick was eventually joined by Kevin and Joe to form a musical trio. The boys were signed to Columbia Records in 2005, but were dropped after their debut album, It’s About Time, flopped. Two years after nabbing their first record deal, the Jonas Brothers signed with Hollywood Records.

One Appearance Changed Everything

The Jonas Brothers appeared on an episode of Hannah Montana in August 2007 a week after their self-titled album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. Star Miley Cyrus, who was dating Nick at the time, eventually pulled some strings so the JoBros were the opening act on her Best of Both Worlds tour, which kicked off in October 2007.

Major Fail

The JoBros made their awards show performance debut at the 2007 American Music Awards, but it didn’t go quite as planned. The gig kicked off with the boys walking through panes of broken glass, but Joe’s foot got caught on the prop and he took a major spill before he ever opened his mouth to sing “S.O.S.” The tumble left him bruised and bloody, but the group kept going with the performance like nothing was wrong.

Times Square Met Its Match

After hitting the road with Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers rode the wave of superstardom and released their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer, in August 2008. The musicians held a release party at the since-closed Virgin Megastore in Times Square, New York City, and the response was so overwhelming that cops shut down the streets. The chaos that ensued as Nick, Joe and Kevin drove through the Big Apple to buy the CD was shown in their 2009 movie, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. Kevin exclaimed in the flick: “It’s the Jonas Brothers new year, everyone.”

DCOM Debut

Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas teamed up with Demi Lovato to star in the June 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock. The film, which is currently the third highest-viewed DCOM of all time, launched Lovato to international stardom and further enhanced the band of brothers’ career. Camp Rock eventually got a sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, in September 2010, in which the JoBros also starred.

And the Grammy Goes to ...

Fans were shocked when the Jonas Brothers, who were arguably the biggest musical group of the time, lost the Best New Artist Grammy Award in 2009 to someone who was then relatively unknown — Adele. “That category that year was really special; it was Duffy, Lady Antebellum, us, and Adele, who won,” Nick recalled to W magazine in January 2018. “Getting to watch Adele sweep that year was a special moment.”

The Split

After touring for eight years, winning numerous awards and embarking on solo projects, the Jonas Brothers announced their split in October 2013, just days after they suddenly canceled their tour and deleted their Twitter account, which was due to “a deep rift within the band,” their rep told Us Weekly. Kevin told Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts that they felt like it was “time” to end the band. Nick, who initiated the breakup, said, “It was a tough conversation.”
