Joe Jonas, a member of the Jonas Brothers, recently used TikTok to humorously revisit the purity rings he and his brothers famously wore during their teenage years. The rings, a symbol of their commitment to abstain from sex before marriage, became synonymous with the band’s early image in the 2000s. Reflecting on the accessory, Jonas, 35, joked, “When someone’s complaining to me but they never had to wear a piece of jewelry that let everybody know that they’re a virgin.”

In the TikTok posted on January 3, 2025, Jonas lip-synced to Russell Crowe’s line from Unhinged: “I don’t even think you really know what a bad day is.” Captioning the post “Triggered by accessories,” he poked fun at the iconic rings. This playful reflection resonates with his lighthearted approach to the band’s history.
Jonas engaged with fans in the comments, responding to nostalgic reflections and humorous references. When one fan mentioned wanting a purity ring because of the band, Jonas dryly replied, “Yes.” Another highlighted the 2009 South Park episode that parodied the rings, which Jonas acknowledged, calling the episode “slaps.”
This isn’t the first time Jonas has revisited the purity ring era. In 2022, he shared a TikTok poking fun at the commitment he and his brothers made during their youth. His recent video continues this trend, offering a humorous yet nostalgic take on a significant part of his past. By reflecting on his teenage years with wit and relatability, Jonas reminds fans of his ability to embrace his journey with perspective and humor.
