E! follows the celebrity marriage of pop megastar Kevin Jonas and New Jersey girl Danielle Deleasa in new series MARRIED TO JONAS, premiering Sunday, August 19 at 10 p.m. ET on E!. The 10-episode, 30-minute reality series joins E!’s stellar Sunday night lineup that includes new episodes of KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS at 9 p.m. ET and E! original Canadian series CELEBRITY STYLE STORY at 10:30 p.m. ET (visit eonline.ca for local broadcast times).
MARRIED TO JONAS centres on the private yet public lives of Kevin Jonas, eldest member of the Grammy®-nominated group Jonas Brothers and his wife Danielle, a former hairdresser from New Jersey. Viewers witness the young couple’s daily routine of balancing their celeb status, their new marriage, successful careers and their polar-opposite families while trying to lead a quiet life in the suburbs. The cameras also capture Kevin and his younger brothers Joe and Nick as they head into the studio to record the next Jonas Brothers album.
When Kevin met the then Danielle Deleasa in 2007 while on a family vacation in the Bahamas, the two instantly fell in love. After a whirlwind courtship, Dani, the down-to-earth girl next door from a small town in New Jersey, accepted Kevin’s proposal and tied the knot in 2009.
Once married, the young couple entered a whole new world together. Three years later, they are still working to find the balance between settling down in New Jersey and Kevin’s worldwide fame. Like most young couples, Kevin and Dani are attempting to make their house a home, dealing with mutually eccentric, but polar opposite in-laws, and achieving their dream of one day starting a family of their own. However, this couple has the added pressures of a worldwide fan base, Kevin heading back into the recording studio with his equally successful brothers Joe and Nick, and remembering that Dani has personal goals of her own. Kevin and Dani are in for one wild adventure to prove to themselves and their families that they aren’t too young to be husband and wife.
In the series premiere of MARRIED TO JONAS(Sundays at 10 p.m. ETbeginning August 19 on E!), Dani is learning how to navigate her way through Kevin’s Hollywood life and finding her place within his family. She tries to impress the Jonas family matriarch, Denise, by hosting a dinner party and cooks for her husband’s family for the very first time. She also has to adjust to life in the spotlight as she walks the red carpet alongside Kevin and supports his music career. Meanwhile, Kevin is becoming accustomed to Danielle’s outspoken Italian family.
