Meet The 'Bonus Jonas': Frankie Jonas, The Secret Superstar

The Mysterious Fourth Jonas

Everybody knows the iconic trio of Jonas Brothers - Nick, Joe, and Kevin - who have been dominating the music scene since their Disney Channel days. But did you know there's a fourth Jonas brother? Meet Franklin "Frankie" Jonas, the youngest sibling, often dubbed the "Bonus Jonas." While his brothers are on their 20th anniversary tour and starring in a new holiday movie, Frankie is carving out his own niche in the entertainment world.

Frankie makes a delightful cameo in "A Very Jonas Christmas Movie," alongside the Jonas family members, including Nick's wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas and their daughter Malti, as well as Kevin’s wife Danielle Jonas and their daughters. He even has a charming moment in the film, answering the door for Joe's love interest. "Being part of the Jonas family means a lot to me," Frankie once shared, "and I'm excited to be involved in our projects."

“I was this joke, and my entire identity to people was 'adjacent,' which really affected myself and the way that I thought about the world and the way I felt about myself.”

Frankie's Journey in Entertainment

Frankie Jonas hasn't just been sitting on the sidelines. He voiced Sōsuke in the 2008 animated film "Ponyo" and appeared in several Jonas-related projects, earning a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Breakout TV Star Male." He launched his music career in 2023 with singles "Cocaine" and "Hoboken," and an EP titled "Sewer Rat." His live performance debut was at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA, marking his bold entrance into the music scene.

Beyond music, Frankie co-hosts "Claim to Fame" with Kevin Jonas, a reality competition on ABC where celebrity relatives compete while keeping their famous connections a secret. It's a thrilling blend of mystery and entertainment, with a $100,000 prize at stake.

Life Beyond the Spotlight

Frankie, born on September 28, 2000, is the youngest Jonas at 25 years old. Growing up as the "Bonus Jonas" wasn't always easy, as he often felt overshadowed by his brothers' fame. Despite not being part of the original Jonas Brothers band due to his young age, Frankie is their biggest fan. "I know every lyric of every song," he proudly declared in the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 documentary "Chasing Happiness."

While Frankie isn't married, he’s been in a relationship with Anna Olson since early 2022. The couple went public on Instagram, and Anna once tweeted about her "man" asking her to be his girlfriend in a particularly romantic gesture.

Frankie's Financial Standing

With an estimated net worth of $20 million, Frankie Jonas is doing quite well for himself, though his fortune is less than his older brothers'. Kevin, Joe, and Nick have amassed impressive wealth, valued at $40 million, $50 million, and $80 million respectively. But Frankie is just getting started, and his journey is one to watch.

Frankie Jonas might have started as the "Bonus Jonas," but he's proving to be a star in his own right. Whether it's through his music, acting, or reality TV, he's stepping out from the shadows and into his own spotlight.
