Jonas Brothers get star on Hollywood Walk of Fame, announce ‘The Album’ release date, tour, show off baby Malti Marie
The Jonas Brothers used the occasion of their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to break some JoBros news — their new album is nearly here.
The title?
“The Album.”
Release date: May 5.
“We can’t wait to see you on tour later this year,” Nick Jonas said at the star ceremony Monday, Jan. 30, which also marked the public debut of Malti Marie, his baby daughter with his wife, actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
This will be the group’s second album after their musical reunion in 2019 (they always remained brothers!).
The Jonas Brothers went their separate ways, creatively, in 2013, but came back together for their 2019 album “Happiness Begins,” their first studio album in a decade, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The reunion also gave them their first No. 1 song, “Sucker,” which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.
“Sucker” songwriter and producer Ryan Tedder, lead singer of the band OneRepublic, was among those who spoke about the Jonas Brothers at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
Also honoring the Jonases were two other New Jersey brothers — Montclair’s Monte Lipman and Avery Lipman, co-founders of Republic Records, the group’s label (Monte is CEO and Avery is COO).
“Heck, we’ll be here in 30 more years, because this is just the beginning,” Joe Jonas, 33, said at the ceremony, standing with Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas.
The brothers, who grew up in Wyckoff and previously lived in Little Falls, gathered with their family, including famous spouses, for the star ceremony.
“This is a testament to the love and support of our fans, our family and our friends who have been with us every step of the way,” said Kevin Jonas, 35.
A crowd of cheering Jonas Brothers fans provided the soundtrack while Danielle Jonas, who is married to Kevin (as documented in the former E! series “Married to Jonas”); actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, married to Nick; and actor Sophie Turner, married to Joe, sat in the audience and posed for photos next to the star.
Also present: the brothers’ younger brother Franklin Jonas, or Frankie (a social media star dubbed the “bonus Jonas” who hosts the ABC show “Claim to Fame” with Kevin Jonas), 22, and their parents, Denise Miller-Jonas and Kevin Paul Jonas Sr.
Nearly a full younger generation of Jonas kids was there, too, including Kevin and Danielle’s daughters Alena and Valentina, 8 and 6, and Nick and Priyanka’s baby daughter, Malti Marie, in her first major public appearance.
They welcomed Malti home in May after she spent more than 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit. In December, she visited New Jersey with her parents.
“I can’t wait to come back here in 15 years and embarrass you in front of your friends,” said Nick, 30, addressing his young daughter.
Sophie and Joe also have two daughters — Willa, 2, and a baby girl born in July.
