Joe Jonas made a hilarious joke about his embarrassment over wearing purity rings as a teen alongside his Jonas Brothers bandmates Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas.
Joe Jonas is burning up… with embarrassment.
The Jonas Brothers member joked that he wasn’t immune to the negativity he faced when he and his bandmates—brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas—wore purity rings as symbols of their dedication to not having sex before marriage during the early years of their career.
“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,” Joe wrote atop a Jan. 3 TikTok video of him mouthing the words to a voiceover that said, “I don’t even think you really know what a bad day is.”
Joking aside, the “Sucker” singer—who publicly ditched his ring in 2013 at age 24—previously shared that he had some regrets about agreeing to wear the rings in the first place. After all, he was too young to know exactly what he signed up for.
As the 35-year-old—who shares daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, with ex Sophie Turner—put it to Andy Cohen during a 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live, “When you’re 12 versus when you’re, like, 16 is a very big difference.”
And Nick echoed Joe’s regret—though he still appreciates that the concept allowed him to think seriously about sex and what it means to him.
“The values behind the idea of understanding what sex is, and what it means,” Nick told The Guardian in a 2019 interview, “are incredibly important.”
In fact, the 32-year-old hopes to pass some of those values down to his 2-year-old daughter Malti, who he shares with wife Priyankra Chopra.
“I’ll make sure [my kids] understand the importance of sex, and consent, and all the things that are important,” Nick continued before reflecting on the not-so-positive aspects of the rings. “It was very tough to digest it in real time, trying to understand what it was going to mean to me, and what I wanted my choices to be, while having the media speaking about a 13-year-old’s sex life.”
He added, “I don’t know if it would fly in this day and age. Very strange.”

Katy Perry
The “California Gurls” singer revealed how she thanks partner Orlando Bloom for doing the dishes—and it’s not what you’d expect.
“If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you’ve done it all,” Katy told Alex Cooper on a September 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, “and you’ve done all the dishes, and you’ve closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d–k sucked.”
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea is not shy when it comes to sharing her NSFW confessions with the world. In fact, the comedian made headlines when she said a threesome with their masseuse led to her 2010 breakup with Ted Harbert.
But after she received a disappointed text from her ex-boyfriend, she had to set the record straight.
“I really want to clarify,” Chelsea said on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023. “I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended.”
“We did have a lot of threesomes‚ and that, while that’s private it’s already out there,” she continued, “so I’m gonna double down on that and just say that we didn’t break up because I left him for the masseuse. That didn’t happen.”
Heidi Klum
The America’s Got Talent judge has something NSFW behind her closet doors—and she calls it her “sex closet.”
“It’s a big closet. But, there’s outfits in here and things, you know,” she said on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show podcast in September 2024. “You can have a lot of things. You can have wigs, you can have outfits, shoes, boots.”
She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space.
“She found my sex closet,” Heidi said on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast in January 2024. “She fully knew what it was. But, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”
John Cena
John shared a behind-the-scenes look into what filming a sex scene is really like.
“There is nothing intimate about it,” he said on an episode of Club Shay Shay in August 2024. “Nothing. So, like, it’s really embarrassing.”
And looking back to his role in 2015’s Trainwreck, he was not prepared for the kind of scenes he would be filming with costar Amy Schumer.
“Amy is an angel,” he continued. “She made the environment so comfortable, and then when I got the part, eventually they were like, ‘Yeah, it’s a sex scene and we want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex, and all those lines you had? We’re probably not going to use them, we’re just going to do this stunt sex scene.’”
Shailene Woodley
Despite describing herself as a “very sexual person,” Shailene has shared she has some serious “beef” with porn, naming it the “junk food” of pleasure.
“The way that sex is presented on the surface in this country is so fabricated,” she said on the She MD podcast in September 2024, “and it’s such a performance instead of true intimacy, vulnerability and connection.”
“Pleasure is so important, and we just rip each other off of it because I think we don’t necessarily even know what’s possible,” she continued. “And that’s my big beef with porn is I’m like, ‘You’re selling everybody McDonald’s when you could have like, whoa.’”
Goldie Hawn
After spending four years with partner Kurt Russell, Goldie revealed her biggest secret for a successful, long term relationship—Good sex.
“You have to have good sex,” she told E! News in September 2024. “Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it’s not just because of the act, it’s because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates.”
Ice-T
Ice-T revealed the secret to his and Coco Austin‘s decades-long marriage—and yes, it involves the bedroom.
“Jungle sex,” he told E! News in January 2024. “That flame has to stay lit.”
“When that flame goes out and you’re not really attracted to each other anymore,” he continued, “you have to address that very quickly because it’s something that’s necessary.”
Demi Lovato
For Demi, the bedroom is where she is most confident.
“I feel the most confident when I’m having sex,” she told the LadyGang podcast in September 2023. “‘Cause you’re so present that you’re not thinking about what is actually like…what clouds your judgement throughout the rest of the day, or at least that’s how it is for me. It’s not that way for everybody.”
Lisa Rinna
After spending decades with husband Harry Hamlin, Lisa got candid about how aging has affected their sex lives.
“I do think that desire levels change for a man,” the actress told Cosmopolitan in January 2024. “That’s just the natural evolution of life. So it’s figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman. I think that it’s almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality.”
“We really have great sex together, and we always have,” she continued. “It’s just that maybe it doesn’t happen quite as often as it did when you’re in your 30s and in your 20s, I would say. And I think that’s normal.”
Zoe Saldaña & Marco Perego-Saldaña
Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word to talk about sex around their kids.
“We ‘play Legos naked,’” Marco revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2024, Zoe chiming in to clarify that the term means “sexy time.”
But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo.
“They were like, ‘Are you guys kissing? Are you guys gonna go play naked with your Legos?’” Zoe recounted. “And we’re like, ‘No, we’re not going to do that.’”
