Kevin Jonas' wife: 'Reality show has strengthened our marriage'

Kevin Jonas' wife Danielle is confident the couple's marriage will survive the stresses and strains of filming a reality TV series, insisting working on their new show has actually brought the pair closer together.

The Jonas Brothers star wed Danielle Deleasa in 2009 and they agreed to let cameras from E! into their New Jersey home to follow their day-to-day lives for the upcoming programme Married to Jonas.

And while other married pop stars like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline failed to stop reality TV from wrecking their relationships, Danielle believes her union will stand the test of time because she and her husband have gone public with their private lives.

She tells People.com, "I think doing a reality show has made us talk even more about things that maybe we would not have talked about or just left on the backburner. I just feel like this made us communicate more, and I think that's important in our relationship and keeps it strong."

Married to Jonas premieres on 19 August (12).
