He elaborated, saying he lost his fortune, almost nine years ago, “down to the one 10 percent left.” He added, “Invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time, and sadly it just wasn’t the right partnership, if you know what I’m saying. Can’t really get too much into it.”
However, Kevin “learned a lot of lessons” from those experiences. “Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together and actually it was kind of fortuitous in a way,” he said. “I learned this lesson. Never wanted to learn it, but I did. Then, at the same time re-evaluated how to approach life and from that perspective and looking to the future and at the same time was able to really feel honored that we could have a second shot at it.”
The Jonas Brothers split in 2013 due to a “deep, creative rift.” However, they reunited in 2019 with the release of the album Happiness Begins, which proved to be a commercial and critical success. They’ve also embarked on global tours, as well as individual projects. The “Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour,” their 20th anniversary tour, is set to begin in New Jersey, their home state, in August. It will also include Marshmello, the All-American Rejects and Boys Like Girls.
