Wait… Jonas Brothers’ oldest brother Kevin isn’t actually called Kevin?!

I am so shocked


Pop stars changing their names isn’t exactly shocking. It’s kind of their thing, right? Stage names, alter egos, all part of the package. But nothing prepared me for this bombshell: Kevin Jonas, the eldest Jonas brother, isn’t actually named Kevin. Sorry, what?

We all grew up with the Jonas Brothers. Whether it was through Camp Rock, their Disney Channel days, or just blasting their bangers like Burnin’ Up, the Jonas Brothers were the moment. And the love never really died. So imagine my absolute shock when I found out that Kevin’s real name… isn’t Kevin. I genuinely had to sit down.

So, what is Kevin Jonas’ real name?

Well, earlier this week, the 37-year-old singer dropped the news on TikTok. In the video, he’s mouthing along to a sound with some dramatic hand gestures. The on screen text read, “My first names not Kevin.” And in the caption he wrote, “Should I change my handle to PaulJonas?” Excuse me, Paul?!

Yes. His full name is… drumroll… Paul Kevin Jonas Jr.

The internet absolutely lost it

People were equally shocked when Kevin revealed his real name. One user commented, “PAUL JONAS??? I feel like I’ve been catfished all my life.” Another joked, “Biggest plot twist since Hannah Montana took off the wig.” Someone else added, “DO PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE CALL YOU PAUL? I’m so stressed!” Me too, you random person, me too.

Others weren’t surprised at all. “Any OG fan has known that for years,” one commented.
“Real Jonas Brothers fans always knew his name,” another said.

The band, Jonas Brothers, formed in 2005, took a break between 2010 and 2011 to go solo, and then properly split in 2013. In 2019, they reunited with the hit single Sucker and honestly, it felt like the world healed a little.

But still… Paul Jonas?! Mind blown.
