The inspiration for theJonas Brothersreunion came from an unlikely source.
It was a beautiful thing to see.
I was all in, he says.

We broke up as a band and about two months later me and Danielle had our first daughter Alena.
She never experienced the Jonas Brothers.
At this point shes probably three or four years old when were having this conversation.
If its not for me, its for them.
That was the moment I realized how badly I did miss it.
Because there was hurt there but I also just missed my brothers.
Thats where the documentaryChasing Happinesscame into play.
The conversations were funny, its kind of sad, and its really interesting, Joe says.
Everyone was so afraid to show us the footage because of how intense it really was.
It rips your soul out a little bit.
We had to have those conversations to be able to do this again.
I was on board but I still needed to have these conversations.
Joe was not ready to do this at all.
It took you a little bit longer.
I was thankful that Nick finally made those decisions.
I dont need to do this thing that we said no to anymore.
Theres too much in the closet.
We didnt want to really work through all that stuff.
All that said, the doc really has been a helpful tool for us.
And fans can expect even more music from the Jonas Brothers in the future this reunionisntjust a one-album tour.
Were still writing and recording quite a bit, Kevin reveals.
We make a run at get in the studio as often as we can, Joe adds.
Especially when we go out on stage every night we find inspiration.
That inspiration continues to pay off.
