NEW YORK (AP) - The eldest Jonas brother, Kevin, and his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa were engaged Wednesday.
The 21-year-old Jonas is one-third of the popular Jonas Brothers, along with Joe and Nick Jonas.
A spokeswoman for the Jonas Brothers confirmed the engagement.
In a statement, Kevin's parents, Kevin Sr. and Denise Jonas, said they were "filled with joy."
The young couple have not yet set a date. Their engagement was first reported by People magazine.
People quoted Kevin Jonas as describing his girlfriend's reaction as "yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row."
Franken the senator likely 'SNL' material
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Al Franken's torn over who he'd like to see turn the parody tables on him.
As a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member headed to the U.S. Senate, he could be a prime spoof target for his former show.
When asked Wednesday who'd be best for the role, Franken first told The Associated Press it may be Fred Armisen, who portrays President Barack Obama in SNL skits. He then said occasional guest Alec Baldwin might be a better fit.
NBC Entertainment declined comment.
Franken himself parodied a U.S. senator at least once on SNL, playing a Democrat at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
