Joe Jonas, "the world's most famous Christian" (sorry, Pope Francis), was an ideal celebrity guest star on The Righteous Gemstones In Episode 2.2, he appears at a party held by the Lissons, the Texas megachurch pastors who are trying to woo Jesse and Amber into investing in a new Christian-themed resort.
He returns in Episode 2.9, a guest at the ground-breaking party. He and Keefe have a "charged moment" when they both reach for the port-a-potty handle at the same time, and touch hands.
It is unintentional, of course -- Keefe's fault for watching the hot guy who just vacated the port-a-potty instead of paying attention. But the guys do look and act as if they are shyly flirting as they wait outside for Tiffany to have her baby. Wouldn't they start getting desperate after awhile?
They both have other partners, but who cares? It's just an innocent flirtation.
This photo does not appear in the scene, but Cavalero is still in character.
In my headcanon, the two become friends. I have stories about Jonas fixing him Keefe with his publicist (when Kelvin and Keefe aren't official yet), and with Elmo the Muppet (during the breakup):
Keefe's date with Joe Jonas: A Kelvin/Keefe romance
Jonas, the son of an Assemblies of God minister, rose to fame as the lead singer of the Jonas Brothers band. Their series of top charting albums in the 2000s led him to roles in several teencoms, like Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, and Sonny with a Chance, as well as many reality shows featuring his brothers. In the 2020s, he continues to perform and release new albums, alone or with his brothers.
At the beginning of his career, Joe and his brothers were subject to a lot of teasing due to the purity rings they wore to signify that they were holding off on sex until they met the right person. After a few years, they quietly removed them. Joe comments: "When you’re about 15, 16, and start dating, and you go: ‘Wait a minute. What did I say I was gonna do?’
Some fans claimed that the "wedding rings" that Kelvin and Keefe wore through Season 2 were "purity rings," but probably not. If they were, surely a scene would have Joe commenting on how ludicrous purity rings look on men in their mid-30s. Especially when they are obviously lovers.
Some Evangelicals are homophobic, but Joe is a gay ally. He performs at Pride festivals and gay clubs, and bares (almost all) for his fans. He doesn't even mind when fans send him penis pics, thinking that he's gay and available. So maybe his stage-Joe did have a kind of moment with Keefe.
And maybe they became real-life friends as well. The summer after Season 2, Annie Cavalero, a jewelry designer, spotted Joe wearing one of her necklaces while performing at DC Pride.
