How Kevin Jonas Is Approaching "Unknown Territory" as a Girl Dad
Kevin Jonas felt like he went to the Year 3000 after welcoming his daughters.
After all, as someone who grew up with his three brothers Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas and Franklin Jonas, the Jonas Brothersmusician now spends his days a little differently thanks to his wifeDanielle Jonas and their kids Alena, 11, and Valentina, 8.
"It's really special, but it's also unknown territory for me," Kevin exclusively told E! News at -196 Vodka Seltzer's U.S. launch party in New York City, "which is why I sometimes respond and react to situations like it would have been with boys. Then my wife looks at me like, 'No, the exact opposite of what you're doing, we need to do that!'"
He admitted that sometimes, understanding what Alena and Valentina really mean when it comes to their feelings can be a challenge. Luckily, he has Danielle, 38, whom he married in 2009, by his side.
As he put it, "I could not do it without her. She's the guiding light in our family."
Although navigating parenthood isn't the easiest, Kevin has the love bug when it comes to quality time with his girls. In fact, the Disney alum is fully immersed in all of their interests, whether he stars in them or not.
"They love Camp Rock," he teased. "Camp Rock is huge. It's just not as big as Descendants or, especially now, Zombies."
"Zombies is coming out with their new movie in June," the 37-year-old explained, "and I know this because I'm a huge girl dad, who's gonna bring them to the concert tour and do the whole thing."
But he and Danielle know their limits, too. Although Valentia begged to see the Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrorsstarring Zombie's Milo Manheim, Kevin didn't think it was appropriate for her to "see someone get chopped up and then fed to a plant."
As for his solution? "She's obsessed with Milo," he explained, "so I got her a video from him saying hi and it was a big deal."
For the Claim to Fame host, letting his daughters live out their passions is crucial. While the Jonas Brothersfilmed their upcoming Christmas special with Alena and Valentina, their eldest seemed interested in joining the family business.
"They're actually in the film, and they had a really good time," he recalled. "My oldest daughter definitely started to do the thing. She started to see what it's like on set. She said to me, 'I really want to be an actress.'"
"I was like, 'Come, just sit and wait around all day and see if you still feel that way,'" he quipped. "She really enjoyed it, but I will never push them to do it."
While Kevin wants his kids to focus on their passion, he's doing the same as he continues taking on hosting gigs between touring.
"Hosting an event like this with -196 having me out and doing this is exactly what I wanted to do," he explained. "They were excited to launch their new product here in the United States. They've been a staple, legendary brand in Japan for over 20 years. So the fact that they called me and asked me to be a part of this—it was very exciting."
