“It’s nice to be able to finally tell somebody,” Nick admits in a clip from Carpool Karaoke. “We’ve kept this a secret now for almost seven, eight months. This is basically our first performance back.”
Kevin — the only brother who didn’t pursue a solo career — joked: “We’ve gotta dust off the cobwebs.”

Ahead of the official announcement, a source previously told PEOPLE that Nick, 26, Joe, 29, and Kevin, 31, had a breakfast meeting at the famed Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles earlier this month; reps for the brothers did not return PEOPLE’s requests for comment about their next chapter at that time.

Rumors about a reunionfirst started popping up in January 2018, after the Jonas Brothers’ dedicatedInstagram accountwas reactivated following almost five years of silence. Over a year later, though, the account had yet to post any new images or clips — but that all changed Thursday.
Amping up the speculation, Ryan Liestman, the band’s former backing musician, went on to post a photo with the three brothers that month, writing in the caption, “Family Reunion.”
However, at the time Nick went on to deny that there was any kind of reunion in the immediate works.
“We hung out for a weekend all together and I guess our Instagram was restarted,” Nick toldRyan Seacreston the E! News red carpet special ahead of the2018 Grammy Awards. “Right now there’s no reunion planned. But never say never — you never know what’s going to happen.”

The band split up in 2013. At the time, Nicktold PEOPLEthey were stepping back because “prioritizing our family is really important to us.”
“We’re choosing our family because it was becoming toxic,” Kevin added.
Of course, the three brothers’ lives have changed significantly since they first decided to call it quits. Nick has become a hit-making solo artist and marriedPriyanka Chopra, 36; Joe found success with the bandDNCEand will walk down the aisle with finacéeSophie Turner, 23; and Kevin has been raising his two children — daughters Alena Rose, 5, and Valentina Angelina, 2 — with wifeDanielle Jonas, 32, in New Jersey.

There’s also a chance the boys could return to the small screen together.
In 2017, Nick told PEOPLE he was onboard for anR-rated third installment of theCamp Rockseries, which the brothers starred in alongsideDemi Lovatoon the Disney Channel.
