The wife of singer Kevin Jonas has revealed that she was asked to join theReal Housewives of New Jersey, but she turned the opportunity down.

Danielle, 36, made the revelation while appearing on theLadyGangpodcastlate last month and opened up about her reasons why.

“I was asked,” she said. “But I think I would die. I think they would like, they would kill me.”

Jonas Brothersstar Kevin, 35, who also appeared on the podcast, added with a laugh, “Bringing the lamb to the slaughter over there.”

“Yeah!” Danielle said, agreeing with her husband. However, Kevin then went on to say that he actually thinks his wife would be able to “hold her own” on the explosive Bravo reality show.

“I would probably just sit there laughing,” she continued.

“The problem is I don’t want to have to give them tickets to the show,” joked Kevin. “I’m just kidding, no. The reality is that might be too much.”
