Kevin Jonas may be living under the same roof as his biggest fan!
On Thursday, June 6, the Jonas Brothers member, 36, showed off a photo of his 10-year-old daughter Alena dressed as him from head to toe.
“When your daughter dresses up as you for New Jersey day,” the musician wrote on X, formerly Twiter.
The adorable pic showed the preteen wearing a black curly wig, ripped flare jeans, a white collared shirt, and a denim jacket. Alena smiled as she crossed her arms, looking almost identical to her father.
Fans couldn’t help but gush about the sweet gesture. One wrote, “This is the cutest thing!! Definitely a proud parent moment.” Another replied, “😂 Genius, yes, Alena!”
“She is such a little queen! Go Alena 😂👏🏻👏🏻,” echoed another fan. The performer also shared the photo on Instagram, where fans had similar reactions.
“Which one is Kevin and which one is Alena?? 🤨 ,” one fan wrote. “This is the cutest! Love it!😍🥺,” wrote another fan.

Along with Alana, the band member is a father to 7-year-old Valentina, whom he shares with his wife, Danielle Jonas.
While speaking to PEOPLE in October 2021, Kevin shared that his favorite part of being a girl dad is “all of it.”
“I grew up with four boys in the house. So I’m getting to relearn what young women want in their life from an early age, which is so cool to see because I didn’t experience it,” he shared with PEOPLE. “It’s all new to me — definitely not to Danielle, but it’s all new to me, which is pretty awesome.”

In February 2023, he told PEOPLE that he stays in constant communication with Danielle, 37, to be a present dad, even if he’s away working.

“It’s like we have a limit on how long we stay away from each other. So on the day off, even though it’s tough, I still take the red eye home. I’m home for 12 hours and then back to L.A,” said Kevin.

For FIFA World Cup, New Jersey encourages towns to extend alcohol sales at bars, restaurants
New Jersey is trying to help bars and restaurants cash in on the FIFA World Cup by letting them sell more alcohol throughout the tournament.
Over a pint of Guinness at Mulligan’s Pub in Hoboken, Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Monday signed a proclamation encouraging municipalities to temporarily extend alcohol sales during matches.
“This is the first time I’ve signed a proclamation in a bar,” said Sherrill.
What could change?
The goal is to convince local leaders to let bars and restaurants open earlier or stay open later to align with the World Cup schedule across time zones.
Changes would vary from town to town, since the proclamation does not mandate any changes to local rules. It simply gives the option to adjust them during the 39-day event.
“It’s allowing businesses to really get some good economic impact from the World Cup,” said Sherrill.
Hoboken Mayor Emily Jabbour said she’s open to the idea.
“I think we’ll be taking this into consideration as a great option for us,” Jabbour said. “We’ve been actively working with our public safety departments to make sure that all of the logistics around World Cup are coordinated appropriately.”
Bar owner expects big crowds
Mulligan’s Pub owner Louis Jannuzzi said the business is expecting big crowds during the tournament.
“We’re expecting a lot of people to show up, but we’re going to make it the best place to go watch a game, other than going to the game itself I suppose,” Jannuzzi said.
Extended hours could be mean even bigger business for Mulligan’s and bars across the state.

A black bear was spotted in the area of Frederick Court in Princeton on Saturday night, according to an alert issued to residents. A bear was also spotted May 15 in the area of Heather Lane between Cherry Valley Road and Great Road. It is unclear whether the latest sighting is the same bear.
Residents are advised not to approach the bear and to remain indoors if they see it.
According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife, black bears are common in parts of New Jersey, and they sometimes travel through residential neighborhoods as part of their natural movement patterns.
Residents should not leave food or garbage outdoors because bears can quickly become attracted to human food sources. Bears may eat garbage, pet food, birdseed, and other easily accessible items. Bears that gain access to food in residential neighborhoods may lose their fear of people and repeatedly return to the area. Some nuisance bears eventually must be trapped.
State wildlife officials urged residents in bear-prone areas to take precautions to reduce the chances of attracting bears.
Recommended precautions from the The information was provided by the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife include:
- Use certified bear-resistant garbage containers.
- Store garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids.
- Keep garbage in a secure location until the morning of pickup.
- Do not feed bears.
- Do not approach bears.
- Do not run from bears because running may trigger a chase response.
- Avoid direct eye contact with bears.
- Remain calm and slowly back away if encountering a bear.
- Make noise by yelling, clapping, singing, or using an air horn.
- Make yourself appear larger by waving your arms or lifting a jacket overhead.
- Stay together if you are in a group.
- Make sure the bear has an escape route.
Officials also advised residents to watch for warning behaviors from bears, including huffing sounds, jaw popping, and swatting at the ground, which can indicate the animal feels threatened.
Bears may stand on their hind legs to get a better view or detect scents in the air, which is not always considered threatening behavior.
Residents can report black bear damage or nuisance behavior to the NJDEP’s 24-hour hotline at 1-877-WARN-DEP, or 1-877-927-6337.
