OMG, I dated a Jonas Brother, it was SOOOO hot!
Yes, I know those aren't the lyrics, but it fit perfectly right?
I was listening to my iPod (yes, you read that right) and doing the dishes at work listening to Can't Have You by the Jonas Brothers who we all know are back together unless you live under a rock. I'm still shocked it's been over a year since their reunion and I couldn't be happier for them.
We all have had our "Future Mrs. Jonas" proudly etched on our binders in middle school and thought how great it would have been if either Joe, Nick, or Kevin were single forever so we could marry one of them, but then I thought, do we really? Do we really know what we're getting ourselves into?
Think about it. Really think about it. They're performers. They do interviews, performances, talk shows, radio shows probably every day. Is that a life you'd be willing to jump into? You'd probably see them for a few hours a day at the most.
They played a show almost every day for the past year during the Happiness Begins tour and they probably either left their wives on the tour bus or flew out to play shows every so often. Would you sacrifice your current life for that? Sure you could SEE the shows for free, but is it really worth it?
I think this all started when I kept seeing pictures of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner popping up in my news feed almost every day. I'm happy for them, but it's just almost sad to see pictures of them daily. I think at some point, I stopped following them for a little bit (their lives, not their Instagrams obviously) because I just wasn't interested anymore.
Think about it from their perspective. I'm pretty sure they're not too happy going to say, a movie theatre and seeing paparazzi everywhere. The fans would love it yes, but isn't that what Instagram's for? I'm sure they're all "used" to it by now. And I say "used" to it in quotes because they never really signed up for this either. In their documentary, they mentioned they didn't really know how big they actually were until they really took a step back and thought about it.
Think about it. All their wives are work in the industry. Danielle was a hairdresser for the Jonas Brothers. Now she's happily married to Kevin Jonas and they have the cutest daughters. Priyanka is an actress and is also happily married to Nick Jonas. Sophie Turner was famously on Game of Thrones (which I still have yet to watch) and is happily married to Joe Jonas and is rumoured to be expecting which OMG I couldn't be happier for them if the rumours are true xD
What do the "Jonas sisters" all have in common? They're all in the same industry and have been for a very long time so they're "used" to being followed around, having their picture taken all the time, seeing paparazzi even when they're going to the dentist (they probably have their own, but you get the point). So they get that the boys have to do interviews, TV shows, and performances because they do pretty much the same. There's just something to the familiarity that makes us connect in the most unusual ways. Joe and Sophie are both goofballs. Nick and Priyanka are literally #couplegoals. And Kevin and Danielle are so adorable.
Now, put yourselves into their shoes. Are you, an average girl who isn't used to getting her picture take unless it's picture day or for Instagram, ever going to get used to the star-studded lifestyle? Having paparazzi everywhere you go and being scrutinised 24/7?
Take Prince Harry and Duchess Megan for example. They're receiving some backlash for letting go of royal duties and most people are blaming Megan for it. But is it really her fault? Is it really her fault that Harry just wants to protect his family? She knew what she was marrying into, for a lack of a better phrase. Megan's also used to being scrutinised too, since she was an actress, but maybe all this royal stuff is a little too much. Maybe she wants a say in this too.
So, let me ask you again. Do you really want to become Mrs. Jonas? Sure, your14-year-old self might, but 25-year-old you might think otherwise.
Might edit this again because it sounds a little choppy. But I got what I need out there.
