Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block marries his longtime boyfriend



Jonathan Knight, one-fifth of the New England-based boy band, revealed he recently married longtime partner Harley Rodriguez in a new interview with “Entertainment Tonight.”

Knight initially played coy when asked by “ET” host Lauren Zima if he and Rodriguez got married after Knight called Rodriguez her husband.

“We may have, we may not,” the “Step by Step” singer said with a smile, though Zima later pointed out he was wearing a flashy wedding ring.

Eventually, Knight admitted to Zima that the two got married. The couple have been together since 2008 and got engaged in 2016, according to People, and even appeared on the 26th season of “The Amazing Race” together.

Knight told People last year that he considered eloping with Rodriguez after Covid-19 cut short their wedding plans.

The couple are based in Massachusetts, where they film the HGTV series “Farmhouse Fixer.” On the show, Knight renovates farmhouse-style homes for clients that include his mother and extended family, he told ‘ET.’

Knight recently returned from a New Kids on the Block tour with support from contemporaries like Salt-n-Pepa, Rick Astley and En Vogue.
