Kevin Jonas and Danielle Jonas, the beloved couple who have been married for 13 years and share two beautiful daughters, recently gave an exclusive interview, shedding light on the challenges and joys of parenting in today’s world.
Raising kids can often feel like deciphering an S.O.S., where what children say might not always reflect their true feelings. “Sometimes, what they say is not really what they mean,” Kevin candidly shared during the conversation with E! News. “When they’re telling us how they feel, sometimes there’s something else really going on. I think you try to listen past the listening. And we’re still working on that.”
Kevin Jonas, well-known as a member of the chart-topping band, the Jonas Brothers, is not just a talented musician but also a dedicated dad. He emphasized the importance of understanding the deeper emotions behind children’s words.
Danielle Jonas, the DJ & Co. jewelry founder, added her perspective, saying, “It’s hard to let go. I’m a sucker in that I always want to see them happy, and it’s hard because you don’t want to give them everything.” Danielle acknowledged the challenge of finding the right balance between providing for their children’s happiness and allowing them to learn and grow independently.
One remarkable aspect of Danielle’s parenting journey has been her openness with her daughters about her own struggles. She has been dealing with eczema and recently partnered with Sanofi and Regeneron to raise awareness about Dupixent, a medication that has helped her manage her condition. Sharing her journey with her kids has brought them closer together.
Danielle explained, “I think with them seeing me go through what I’ve gone through and being like, ‘I know this is rough right now. But there’s something that’s going to help me.'” Her daughters observed her resilience, and she encouraged them to keep trying and researching solutions for their challenges.
Kevin also touched upon the difficult moments in their parenting journey. He mentioned Danielle’s struggles with hair loss and scalp issues due to eczema. Her condition took a toll on her, affecting her confidence and ability to travel with him as she had before. However, once she found effective treatment, there was a noticeable improvement in her well-being.
“She wasn’t coming on the road with me as much,” Kevin recalled. “And once she started to finally feel relief, I think she started to feel like herself again.”
Despite the trials, Kevin and Danielle Jonas are determined to find joy and laughter in their parenting journey. “You have to remember to have the joy and the crazy,” Kevin noted. “And I think that’s what we’re doing right now. We’re just taking it all in.”
Their candid and heartfelt insights into parenting challenges serve as a reminder that even in the most trying times, there’s room for growth, learning, and, most importantly, love in a family.
