The 28-year-old former singer and wife Danielle Jonas, 29, revealed on April 26 they are expecting their second child. The two are parents to Alena Rose Jonas, 2.
Kevin, who grew up with four brothers and performed with three of them in the pop group the Jonas Brothers, said on the Sirius XM satellite radio show Nigel Barker's Gentleman's Code Wednesday he hopes their upcoming arrival is another daughter.
"I've actually always wanted two girls," he said.
"I just want a healthy baby, to clarify. I want healthy children," he added. "But I've always like wanted two kids that were both girls and my wife was like, 'Why?' I'm like, 'Because I've been around boy so much my entire life that I want to be surrounded by, you know, girls."
He also said the two are "having the hardest time with boy names."
Kevin, the oldest of the Jonas brothers, is the first sibling in his family to get married and have children. He and Danielle wed in 2009.
In 2013, when she was pregnant with Alena, they announced their daughter's sex more than a month after they made their initial pregnancy announcement. It is unclear how far along Danielle is in her current pregnancy. Some OB/GYN offices offer DNA blood tests that can identify the sex of an embryo as early as 10 weeks, while others only allow expecting mothers to find out what they're having at a 20-week structural ultrasound scan.
During his interview with Barker, Kevin also talked about how his wife has been criticized for working out while pregnant, even though it's safe for their baby because she also exercised regularly when she wasn't expecting. He said it's "what makes her feel good."
Kevin also defended recent new mom Chrissy Teigen, who drew criticism online for going out to dinner alone with husband John Legend the week after she gave birth to their daughter Luna.
"It's no one's place to make comments on how you live your life, and you know what, no one even knows whether it was with a nanny, whether it was a babysitter," Kevin said. "It doesn't matter who the baby was with. It's not your responsibility to comment on parenting for others. I would hate if someone did that to me."
