In a podcast show, Danielle spoke about her equation with the Jonas family and actresses Priyanka and Sophie Turner.
Priyanka Chopra's sister-in-law Danielle recently appeared as a guest on the podcast LadyGang. She was joined by her singer-husband Kevin Jonas. Danielle, 36, spoke about her equation with the Jonas family and actresses Priyanka and Sophie Turner. For context, global icon Priyanka is married to Nick Jonas and they have a daughter Maltie Marie Chopra Jonas. Whereas, Games of Thrones sensation Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas exchanged rings in 2019. Danielle, Priyanka and Sophie also featured in Jonas Brothers' music videos — Sucker and What a Man Gotta Do. In the podcast, Danielle said that she “feels less than” Priyanka and Sophie. She said, “I am so different than him [Kevin]. It's actually made it work even more because we are not trying to fight for the fight celebrity part of it or whatever, but it is a love-hate. I feel like I am torn. Finding my place in it, because the two boys [Nick and Joe] married somebody who, they're actresses [Priyanka and Sophie], they're out there, everyone knows them. And I feel like I am Danielle, you know, and it's hard.”
Danielle added that she wants to have “something else to my name too.” She said, “It's also that, like, I'm out there celebrity-wise because I have married you. And that's where it's like, ‘Oh, I wanna have something else to my name too.' So that it feels, I don't know... More than, or like, the other girls. ‘Cause then when I'm with the other girls, I feel just less than sometimes. It's weird.”
Kevin Jonas said that he feels the same way. “I feel the same way with Nick and Joe, right? Like solo careers, movies, and all this stuff. It's like everyone has to find their place… No matter the situation, right? You'll always be compared to the women around you the most,” he said.
Danielle and Kevin Jonas got married in December 2009. The couple are parents to Alena Rose and Valentina Angelina.
