Family. They’re always willing to speak up for ya….even when you don’t want them to.

On Thursday’s broadcast of Larry King Live, the CNN host got to the truth on his hard news story of the night. During a chat with the Jonas Brothers, King asked what all of his tween viewers wanted to know: Are the boys currently taken?

Scroll to the 1:40 mark for the awkwardness.

Although Joe Jonas fully owned up to having a girlfriend, he seemed far more comfortable talking about Nick’s situation than his own. (Hypocrite.) When asked if his girlfriend is as famous as his brother’s, Joe responded, “I don’t think anybody is as famous as Miley Cyrus.” (Let the tension and squirming begin.)

Thanks for the confirmation, Joe. Now we won’t bother squinting at Miley and Nick photos to see if it’s really them.
