One is the loneliest number, as we all know, but Danielle Jonas has some strong feelings about three, it seems. During a recent podcast interview, Danielle, wife of eldest Jonas Brother Kevin, revealed that she sometimes feels like the odd one out when compared to her sisters-in-law.
In an episode of the LadyGang podcast released June 27, Danielle and Kevin gave a frank interview in which Danielle revealed that she can feel like the last crayon in the box in comparison to Nick Jonas’s wife Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Joe Jonas’s wife Sophie Turner. Chopra-Jonas and Turner are both big-name actors, while Danielle’s top IMDb credit is for the reality show Married to Jonas. She’s quite literally most famous for being married to a Jonas Brother. And, yeah, she feels weird about it!
“I’m also finding like my place in it,” she said, “because the two boys [Nick and Joe] married somebody who, they’re actresses, they’re out there, everyone knows them, and I feel like I’m Danielle, you know? It’s hard.”
She has an ally in Kevin, who also feels the sting of comparison.
“I feel that way, too,” he said. “Like you said, Nick and Joe, right, like solo careers, movies, all the stuff. It’s like, everyone has to find their place, no matter the situation.”
He said that the key for both himself and Danielle is “communicating, talking through it.”
“We always get compared to the people around you most,” Kevin said, pointing out that the podcast had started with a discussion amongst the hosts over which brother they favored. (Kevin got points for “fingering the guitar,” it’s worth noting.)
While Danielle has her hands full with her jewelry company, not to mention her marriage and their two children, she admitted to struggling with her public image.
“I’m out there celebrity-wise because I married you,” she said. “And that’s where like, it’s like, I want to have something else to my name, too, so that it feels—I don’t know—more than, or like the other girls, because then when I’m with the other girls, I feel just less-than sometimes. It’s weird.”
One claim to fame that is entirely hers? Kevin’s glow-up.
“She worked on me every single minute of every single day,” Kevin said of his wife, pointing out that she “pushes me to work out,” and that she was a strong voice in getting him to stop straightening his hair and embrace his natural curls.
And, perhaps most importantly? “No more scarves,” she said.
