    Joe Jonas "loved" the 'South Park' episode that mocked him for wearing a purity ring

    The 35-year-old pop star and his brothers, Nick and Kevin, famously wore purity rings - which served as a symbol to their commitment to wait to have sex - early in their careers, but Joe wasn't at all bothered when 'South Park' mocked him for wearing it during a 2009 episode of the show


    During an appearance on 'Josh Scherer's Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals' podcast, Joe explained: "I think I was the only brother that loved it. Our skin was not as thick back then."

    Joe thought the episode was "hilarious" and he doesn't have any bitterness towards the makers of the hit TV show.

    He said: "I thought it was hilarious, because I watched 'South Park', and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!'"

    Joe and his brothers are now all able to watch the episode and laugh it off.

    The pop star shared: "I think it's one of my favourite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim-to-fame for me."

    Joe was married to Sophie Turner between 2019 and 2024, and he recently described the actress as an "incredible mom".

    The singer - who has daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with Sophie - revealed that they've developed a "beautiful co-parenting relationship" since finalising their divorce.

    Speaking to Jay Shetty during his 'On Purpose Live Tour', Joe shared: "I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for. Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true."

    The 'Cake by the Ocean' hitmaker wants his children to have strong female role models in their lives.

    Joe - who previously dated the likes of Gigi Hadid and Demi Lovato - explained: "As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them.

    "I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want."
