Joe Jonas' children have given him 'the reason to be alive'

Joe Jonas' children have given him "the reason to be alive".

The Work It Out singer has daughters Willa, five, and three-year-old Delphine with ex-wife Sophie Turner and he loves the fact that just a hug from his girls can help turn around a bad day.

Speaking with brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas on their Hey Jonas! podcast, he said: “I’m a single dad and I coparent with my children’s mother.

“I think my children have given me purpose again in my life.

"[They are] the reason I do what I do now."

The 36-year-old star noted he works hard when he's away so he can enjoy his time with his daughters when they are all together.

He added: “They’ve really given me the reason to be alive, I would say.

“I think, in my saddest moments, I’m able to be reminded quickly that a hug from them can solve the world’s problems...

“I think they’ve taught me that I’ll be OK even in my toughest days.”
