Joe Jonas found dating again scary
Joe Jonas found dating after his divorce "scary and intimidating".
The 'Heart by Heart' hitmaker split from Sophie Turner - with whom he has daughters Willa, four, and two-year-old Delphine - in 2023 after four years of marriage and briefly dated model Stormi Bree last year, but he admitted it took him some time to adjust to the idea of finding a new romantic connection.
Discussing the making of new song 'Only Love', Joe, 35, said in a TalkShopLive stream: 'I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again. It was really scary and intimidating.
'Love takes different shapes and forms and I was re-discovering what that was."
Joe told how the unnamed person he was seeing "comically" brushed aside his concerns by replying: "Well, it's only love".
He added: 'I was like, 'Well, when you put it that way…' So we wrote a song about it.
'Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too. But it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there.'
Joe had originally written the song for the Jonas Brothers but once he played it back, he realised he wanted to keep it for himself and his "generous" siblings and bandmates understood why.
He said: 'I sat Kevin and Nick down. I said, 'Hey, look, I would like the opportunity to see what this is like for me. I know it could be Brothers, but I also keep seeing my own life when I hear it, and I'm seeing that person that I was seeing, and I just don't know if I want to change any of the lyrics to match it with what you're going through.'
'Sure enough, I got their blessing. Nick actually went, 'Well damn, I really like this song, so I guess you can have it.'... They're very generous, and thank God they said yes.'

KISS fans underwhelmed by Nick Jonas biopic casting
The singer has signed on to play frontman Paul Stanley in the KISS movie, Shout It Out Loud, set to be directed by Charlie's Angels and Transformers director, McG. However fans of the glam-rock group were quick to express confusion and in some cases unhappiness over the appointment of Nick, 32, believing his clean-cut image clashed with the rock and roll aesthetic. "This casting just assures I will never watch this," one person commented on a Reddit post about the casting news, while another simply added, "Oh f**k no" and a third wrote, "Absolutely not, that's awful".

Joe Jonas finds South Park's purity ring episode 'hilarious'
Joe Jonas "loved" the 'South Park' episode that mocked him for wearing a purity ring. The 35-year-old pop star and his brothers, Nick and Kevin, famously wore purity rings - which served as a symbol to their commitment to wait to have sex - early in their careers, but Joe wasn't at all bothered when 'South Park' mocked him for wearing it during a 2009 episode of the show. During an appearance on 'Josh Scherer's Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals' podcast, Joe explained: "I think I was the only brother that loved it. Our skin was not as thick back then." Joe thought the episode was "hilarious" and he doesn't have any bitterness towards the makers of the hit TV show. He said: "I thought it was hilarious, because I watched 'South Park', and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!'" Joe and his brothers are now all able to watch the episode and laugh it off. The pop star shared: "I think it's one of my favourite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim-to-fame for me." Joe was married to Sophie Turner between 2019 and 2024, and he recently described the actress as an "incredible mom". The singer - who has daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with Sophie - revealed that they've developed a "beautiful co-parenting relationship" since finalising their divorce. Speaking to Jay Shetty during his 'On Purpose Live Tour', Joe shared: "I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for. Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true." The 'Cake by the Ocean' hitmaker wants his children to have strong female role models in their lives. Joe - who previously dated the likes of Gigi Hadid and Demi Lovato - explained: "As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. "I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want."

Nick Lachey shocked by Newlyweds success
Nick Lachey underestimated the impact of 'Newlyweds'. The hit reality TV series focused on Nick's marriage to Jessica Simpson and ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2005 - but Nick never imagined that it would become so popular. The 51-year-old star - who was married to Jessica from 2002 until 2006 - told 'Richer Lives': "'Newlyweds' obviously became a huge reality show. The only one that had come out before that was 'The Osbournes', which was also a massive show. But that show was created as a vehicle to promote music. "You know, my ex-wife had an album coming out, [I] had an album coming out, I'll do a little six-episode thing to promote the album. We had no idea it was going to take on this other life of being this reality fly-on-the-wall type of show. So that was totally unexpected." Nick initially struggled to adjust to being followed by cameras. However, the 98 Degrees star ultimately developed a strong bond with the camera crew, likening them to "family". He shared: "I remember at first they were like, 'Don't talk to the crew. They're a fly on the wall!' And I was like, 'Guys, if this is ever going to work, that's just not how I'm wired. You're not going to be in my house and watch my every move and we're not going to talk to each other. We got to get past that right now.' So I actually came to really love the crew. "I remember crying the day we shut down because you develop relationships with them. They really became [a] family." Nick's relationship with Jessica fell apart shortly after season three, but he still took some positives from his time on 'Newlyweds'. The 'Love Is Blind' co-host - who has been married to his second wife, Vanessa, since 2011 - explained: "What reality TV did for me is it allowed me to introduce myself as Nick Lachey, the person, to the world, and even guys around me [were like], 'He's kind of cool. I'd have a beer with that guy.' … It allowed me to become very comfortable being myself."
