Jonas brother gets engaged

STAFF REPORT

Kevin Jonas surprised his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa by showing up at her doorstep in New Jersey early Wednesday morning, dropping to his knee and asking her to marry him.

"She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row," the oldest of the Jonas Brothers told People magazine.

The 21-year-old Jonas and 22-year-old Deleasa met in May of 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas.

When Deleasa, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas two years ago, she admitted, "I didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were."

Jonas popped the question after arriving in New Jersey on an overnight flight from a concert in Vancouver.

"It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world," he said.

"It still feels like a dream," she told People.

No wedding date has been set.

"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. said in a statement. "Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family's celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support."

Younger brothers Joe and Nick said on their Twitter page: "Congrats big brother.....Dani welcome to the family, we can't wait to have you join us on the road!"
