Jonathan Knight marries his partner
Jonathan Knight may be remembered by many as a member of the boy band New Kids On The Block. Back then, thousands of girls' hearts went out to the oldest of the boys. The band enjoyed its greatest successes in the 1980s and 1990s.
Now Jonathan Knight has secretly married his longtime partner Harley Rodriguez, quietly and without much fuss. But the rumor mill had been bubbling for a long time and many had suspected that the two had said yes to each other. Now the open secret was officially confirmed during an interview with "Entertainment Tonight". The ring on Jonathan's finger also needed almost no further explanation.
Jonathan Knight kept a low profile for a long time
One question that many fans might be asking: What was the mystery all about? More precisely, Knight had neither confirmed nor refuted the rumors. According to his own statement, everyone had assumed anyway that both were husband and husband ... And he had also not wanted to lie to his fans.
There was no big celebration, which would certainly have attracted the press. Not because they both didn't feel like it, but because of Corona.
The two want to catch up on the party around their vow of fidelity. And then family and friends should also be there.
A happy couple since 2008
Jonathan is known to many of his fans not only from the boy band days of the 1980s and 1990s. In the USA, he and his partner Haley Rodriguez also made a name for themselves as "Team New Kid" on the reality show "The Amazing Race". Back in 2014, they took part in the 26th season of the hit format.
At that time, however, the two were already a sworn team. When they were part of the show, they had already been a happy couple for six years. In 2016, the two got engaged. Knight had his outing only about five years earlier. There were always some rumors that said that Jonathan Knight was homosexual. However, at some point the pressure became too much and he managed to officially come out to himself.
Now Jonathan and his sweetheart are married and the ex-New Kids On The Block singer is now called Jonathan Knight-Rodriguez. There is a lot of love and support under the photos of the two referring to the wedding. The few discriminatory comments are simply lost among the many positive remarks.
The TV career and the happiness of love
It's not just in love that things are going well for the former boy band member. Things are also going great on TV and on stage. Jonathan is performing again with his former boy band colleagues from New Kids On The Block. He even has his own TV show.
This is called "Farmhouse Fixer". Here, Jonathan Knight renovates old houses and ensures that their owners get a beautiful "new" domicile without having to do much work themselves. The show is very popular and a new season has already been shot. In Germany, too, it is possible to take a look at the singer's current TV project. On the Discovery+ streaming service, the whole thing is running under the title "Die Farmhaus-Retter".
