When you’re in a band with your brothers things can get pretty messy at times. Like, barf in the bathroom messy. Just ask Kevin Jonas, 38, who revealed on this week’s episode of the Hey Jonas podcast that during his brother Nick Jonas’ first date with his now-wife actress Priyanka Chopra, he was the sickest wingman you’ve ever seen.

“We just celebrated our eight-year first date anniversary,” Nick said on the show, noting that big bro and Jonas Brothers bandmate Kevin just happened to tag along on that inaugural night out. “I wingmanned hard,” Kevin said modestly. “He did,” Nick responded.
In fact, Kevin said he wingmanned so hard he, “threw up in the bathroom rallied,” as brother Joe Jonas cued up a sad trombone sound effect to play over the admission. “No, no, no, praise, clap, clap, clap,” Kevin suggested instead, never revealing what precipitated his run to the vomitorium. “It was a pro move,” Nick assured him.
As long as we’re talking anniversaries, Nick mentioned that in December he and Chopra-Jonas will have been married for eight years. People noted that in March of this year, Nick described that first date in more detail, telling Therapuss host Jack Shane that he and Chopra’s first date was a night out at the Hollywood Bowl for a production of Beauty and the Beast.
“I was like, ‘But let’s bring some friends so there’s less pressure.’ So it was like a group hang in case it wasn’t the vibe,” Nick told Shane. “And so she brought her best friend. I brought Kevin and another couple friends of ours, Greg and Paris, and we had like the absolute best time at the show.” Then things got interesting, Nick said, describing the friend group going out for drinks, during which Joe sent “shots of milk from wherever in the world he was,” which might explain Kevin’s upset stomach.
“He was overly hyping me up though. You know, someone bringing up like baseball or something, Kevin would be like, ‘Oh, Nick could have gone pro. He could have been a pro baseball player,’” he said of Kevin’s attempts to be the best wingman ever. “That was the most Jersey thing ever and it was very sweet.”
“She obviously was like, ‘Your brother’s really like gassing you up,’ ” Nick said, describing Chopra’s reaction. “I was like, ‘He wants this to go well.’ And then it did. We French kissed that night.”
Nick Jonas is on the road with his solo A Night With Nick show, which will hit the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Wednesday (June 10).
