Everybody knows the three Jonas Brothers: Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas have been singing, acting superstars since their Disney Channel days back in the mid-200s and the sibling-band is still going strong. The Jo-Bros are currently on a massive 20th anniversary JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour in support of their seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown; a new Camp Rock 3 movie is in the works with the brothers reprising their roles and serving as executive producers; and they're starring in a brand-new holiday flick A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, which is available to stream now on Disney+ and Hulu.
But they're not the only Jonas brothers around — yes, there is a mystical fourth Jonas, a "Bonus Jonas" if you will: Franklin "Frankie" Jonas, the youngest of the bros who is a singer and performer in his own right. Several real-life members of the Jonas clan make cameos in the new Christmas movie, including Nick’s wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and their 3-year-old Malti, as well as Kevin’s wife, Danielle Jonas, and their two daughters, and Frankie is part of that cast. (You can spot him answering the door for Joe’s love interest Lucy at the end of the festive release.)

Franklin "Frankie" Jonas is an American singer and actor; he is best known as the younger brother of Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas, the trio who make up the pop group The Jonas Brothers. Frankie is the youngest son of Kevin Sr. and Denise Jonas.
The youngest Jonas bro followed his siblings' footsteps into the entertainment industry — his first foray was voicing Sōsuke in the 2008 Hayao Miyazaki animated film Ponyo. Frankie also made appearances in several Jonas-related products, including the Jonas series (for which he won the award for "Choice Breakout TV Star Male" at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards), the Disney Channel film Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, and the E! reality show Married to Jonas.
Frankie launched his own music career as a singer-songwriter in 2023, releasing two singles — "Cocaine" and "Hoboken" — and an EP entitled Sewer Rat. He made his live performance debut at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA, on April 29, 2023.
He also is the co-host of Claim to Fame alongside big bro Kevin Jonas — the ABC reality competition brings together celebrity relatives who must compete in challenges while trying to keep their famous family members' identities a secret from the cast and audience, all in a quest to win $100,000.

How old is Frankie Jonas?
Born on September 28, 2000, in Ridgewood, NJ, Frankie Jonas is currently 25 years old. That makes him eight years younger than brother Nick Jonas, 11 years younger than Joe and 13 years younger than Kevin.
Being the youngest Jonas wasn't always easy for Frankie. In an interview with Bustle, he detailed the difficulties of growing up "adjacent" to his older brothers' stratospheric fame. "It was a conversation — I don't remember it, but I've been told about it — regarding the fans of my brothers, who also had a similar kinship to me as this symbol, as this mascot. 'Frankie could theoretically act. He could be in their shows. He can continue that legacy of that mascot-like character'," he told the outlet, adding: "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."
Why isn't Frankie Jonas in the Jonas Brothers band?
Though Frankie has his own musical talents, he wasn't included in the original Jonas Brothers lineup because he was simply too young to join the band. (There's a 13-year age gap between the oldest Jonas brother, Kevin, and the youngest, Frankie.)
However, Frankie has declared that he's his brothers' "No. 1 fan," revealing during the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 Chasing Happiness documentary: “I know every lyric of every song, I can recite every story of how they were made. I love their music so much."
