Kevin Jonas shared a heartwarming picture of his 10-year-old daughter Alena dressed as him for New Jersey Day.
The outfit she copied was one that Kevin wore when he and his brothers Nick and Joe Jonas visited Yankee Stadium in April 2023.
For that appearance, Kevin opted for a white polo shirt that he teamed with a double-denim acid wash combination of a jacket and jeans.
This week, one day before New Jersey Day on Friday, Alena wore an uncanny facsimile of Kevin’s Yankee Stadium look complete with a curly black wig.
Posting snaps of the two outfits to social media, Kevin, a proud Garden State native, wrote: ‘When your daughter dresses up as you for New Jersey day.’

Kevin and his brothers were born in Bergen County, New Jersey and raised their until he, Joe and Nick shot to stardom together as a boy band.
Of all of the Jonas Brothers, Kevin was the only one to marry a Jersey girl – Danielle Deleasa, a former hairdresser who hails from Denville Township.
Danielle and Kevin tied the knot in 2009 and have since welcomed two daughters, Alena and a seven-year-old called Valentina.
Last year, during a joint appearance on the Today show, Danielle remarked that she ‘would love’ to have another baby, while Kevin said uncertainly: ‘You never know.’
While chatting with his brother Frankie Jonas for Entertainment Tonight, Kevin remarked that he already knows he is ‘going to be protective’ of his daughters as they grow older, while admitting: ‘But I also know I’m going to have to let them go.’
He noted: ‘It’s going to be tough. I was at a birthday party and Valentina let go of my hand and grabbed the hand of a friend and I died a little inside.’
When Valentina began first grade last year, Kevin confessed that he found it ‘daunting’ watching little Valentina enter ‘big girl, real school.’
The advice he has imparted to his daughters is: ‘You’ll find your people and you’ll find your path. But really just focus and do the work,’ he told Pop Sugar.

Two of his brothers now also have daughters, including Nick, who shares a two-year-old little girl called Malti with his wife Priyanka Jonas.
Meanwhile Joe and his ex-wife Sophie Turner of Game Of Thrones fame have two daughters together, Willa, three, and Delphine, one.
Kevin has explained that although he became a father before Nick and Joe did, he has refrained from advising them on how to approach parenthood.
‘Everyone is going to do it their own way. It’s their journey,’ he said to E! News’ Daily Pop a couple of years ago. ‘Everyone has their own thing.’
He added that he would ‘instantly shut it down’ if he were given unsolicited parenting advice, which he regards as ‘not the good thing to do.’
