Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Jonathan Knight, 39, from the New Kids On The Block is gay and very open about it.

Jordan's brother might soon be coming out of the closet officially, insiders tell us.

"Jonathan has a [non-famous] boyfriend and they're very happy," a source reveals. "They're not trying to hide it."

Congrats on finding happiness! And, if he does come out publicly, then even more kudos.

The New Kids fans will still love ya anyways!

  4. 104

    Okay I figured Jordan would be the gay one.



  5. 105

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I always pick the gay! First it was George Michael, then Jon and finally Lance Bass! YIKES!!! I am CURSED!!!



  6. 106

    the dude with the mic has a weirdish mouth



  7. 107

    Doesn't matter whether he is or not. NKOTB fans still love him no matter what! Perez, if this is false, I hope you get sued.



  8. 108

    DUH



  9. 109

    This has been a rumor for awhile, and your right, New Kids fans dont care. I hope this negative attention doesn't make him pull out of the tour. :(



  10. 110

    thats cool, now who is gay in BSB? My vote is Howie. Hmmm, maybe 1 out of every 5 guys are gay. :) lol



  11. 111

    I like Jon a little less if that's true. I'm still a NKOTB fan though!!



  12. 112

    whaaaaaaaaaat?!!! if anything I thought JORDAN was the gay one lol
    event hough he used to be the hottest one…
    what HAPPENED to him?
    oh well, kudos to him, hope he confirms it so I know it's true.



  13. 113

    still love him, much support to you jon!



  14. 114

    do you fools have nothing to do but bash a new kid please get a life and go pick on someone else this person can get hurt by this crap



  15. 115

    Re: skeltar55 – You like Jon a little less if this is true?? What are you a homophobe?? He's the same person whether he likes males or females. Ouch. I would hope you would still have some loyalities to the New Kids.. His status doesn't affect the music they make.



  16. 116

    AWESOME!!! :-D Thats Great! he was my second fav! such a cutey! and am very happy for him! YAY!!!

    If this comes as a shock to anyone, you've obviously been living under a rock for the past 20 years. There was speculation years ago and now that they're back together and in the spotlight, he kinda stands out as the only unmarried and childless one of the bunch.



  18. 118

    You know PerezHilton I hope someone puts you out and i hope its Jonathan you have no right doing this to him and if its true which i don't think it is i think you need a life when he tells the world then i will believe it why is it ok for gorge cloone to be straight and not be married how do we know that he isn't gay. I just wish you would leave jonathan alone he has done nothing to you to get this.

  19. SKB says – reply to this


    119

    Kudos to him! Come out! we're still fans!



  20. 120

    Piggy you don't have the right to "out" someone… it's his choice if he wants to come out of the closet or live in it forever! I am soo sure it was very hard for you to come out and now it seems like you want to get some revenge or something like that… there's a lot of resentment in your heart and that's only bad for you cause you have to live with that and with yourself forever…
    Back to Jonathan… well that def. explains lots of things like him being shy and not wanting to hang out with the fans… the "romance" with Tiffany that was obviously invented by their publicists as an excuse for Jon not being there mingling with the fans… it really makes sense! Hope he is in a healthy relationship and feeling loved!
    Most of the NKOTB fans are more mature now and most of us have gay friends or family members who are gay and have a wider understanding of what that is… no need to be judgmental or anything, as long as you love someone and want him/her to be happy everything is alright!



  21. 121

    OMG! That explains a lot… but that still surprises me! But i still love him and all the rest of NKOTB! :)



  22. 122

    Oh come on out the closet already yes you JORDAN KNIGHT and JOEY M. Please already. Nawwwwww actually they all really need to stay in the closet untill at least after this tour is over…….. (lol) I'm so SHOCKEDDDDDDDDDDD



  23. 123

    I think Jordan is prolly gay too now….a few years back he came to my town and sang some songs at some bars….my friend and I followed him to his hotel room and he refused to let us in (keep in mind, 2 hot girls half naked here) but told us to come back at 8 AM (it was 2 am at this point) for pictures and autographs. I bet he either 1) didn't want to do us cos we're girls or 2) had a guy in there with him…OR BOTH! THAT EXPLAINS IT!!!



  24. 124

    Oh man! I knew there was a reason why he looked so much better than the rest of 'em.

    125

    Does outing someone publicly before they do it themselves make you feel special? You're an inconsiderate stupid fuck.



  26. 126

    I don't think the rumors are true about Jonathan Knight being gay.LEAVE THE NEW KIDS AND JON ALONE!!!



  27. 127

    Re: bbrican – yea you were, lol



  28. 128

    and to think of all the nights I snuggled up to a picture of him. this ruins my childhood memories, lol!



  29. 129

    Of COURSE we'll still love him…just..the ones with boobs and such can't MAKE LOVE to him. *WAAAAAHHHH* I still blame Tiffany.



  30. 130

    This is so ridiculous! First of all….Jordan Knight is NOT gay. (Beside the point, I know)
    His brother, Jonathan, may very well be. However, is it right to force someone to make something that personal available for public consumption? C'mon…if he wanted the world to know, he would have already announced it. The NKOTB are awesome, and who cares?!



  31. 131

  32. 132

    Who do They think They are fooling??



  33. 133

    we knew this 20 years ago and every boy band has a gay member, just like i told my kids, i like the jonas brothers, but unfortunately one of them will grow up to be gay too. have you seen their wardrobe, gay gay gay



  34. 134

    oh and its only unfortunate becuse the hot guys are always gay, wtf how unfair is that ladies?????



  35. 135

    Gay, Straight, Whatever. LOVED em since 88, always will! I HEART JORDAN 4 EVA! :)



  36. 136

    Old news I guess, other than him making it official. I was 10 yrs. old in 1990 and my friends and I all knew he was gay..there were all these rumors back then. Not that we knew much at the age of 10, we just understood he liked boys, er, men!



  37. 137

    Re: VRYPOSH – Well here is a thought, Jordan is Married and has been for sometime, MAYYYYBE that is why he is not into groupies anymore. Just a thought. ;)

  38. patty says – reply to this


    138

    pathetic, is not truth.



  39. 139

    The grass is green. The sky is blue. And Jon Knight is gay. There's nothing exclusive about this report, Perez. NKOTB fans have know this for years!



  40. 140

    you could always tell he was gay!!!



  41. 141

    Re: SophieSez – Tells us more about this. Sounds interesting



  42. 142

    Another bottom , great. Why don't some of the total tops come out ???



  43. 143

    Re: skeltar55 – You are a douchebag if you like someone less because they are gay.



  44. 144

    Re: bunsen b
    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL



  45. 145

    Who do you think you are so drag Jonathan out of the closet ??? I do think that is not of your business or maybe because you think you have a chance with him ??? I don't think so…Perez you sucks BIG TIME !!! and your ass probably smell crap as well ! Fuckely yours ! Cly



  46. 146

    Ok IF he is gay big deal, he is the love of my life lol even if I am married and IF he is gay. He is still sexy, hot, and gorgeous. BUT from what I heard he is acually married (to a woman) and has been for some time and I heard that he is keeping the "gay" rumors going so he can keep his family private. Believe what u want, only he and God know the truth.



  47. 147

    Re: heavanneleigh – Marriage licenses are available to the public and many fans have proven time and time again that there aren't any on record for Jon. Now if he wanted to keep his private life private, it would make sense to say "Hey, I'm single." Leading a false life as a gay man to maintain a private life — while out in public holding hands with another man and kissing another man (something I've actually seen myself) — is taking it a bit too far.



  48. 148

    You know what perez you really don't need to feel like you should have to recruit every cute guy to gaydom. It's OK to like to look at a straight guy and still be gay, but my dear the New Kids have dealt with rumors like this in the early days and you really need to come up with something new. Never doubt an NKOTB fan always knows. So go pick on someone else, like Posh!



  49. 149

    Of course!!! New Kids on the block are reunited and always always there are "personajillos" like that, writing things for hurt. Look, I don´t matter if Jon is gay, is his personal life. He is a man, a really a man that see few ones. Are you gay? Congratulations!!! Must I do a party or I don´t know…say it all persons in the world that you are gay? OMG I don´t believe it!! I don´t matter this!!! If Jon have a boyfriend or girlfriend I only want he be happy.
    Jon isn´t a public person or "famosillos de 3 al cuarto" like other persons, he is a architect and a New Kid. Write about Posh shopping at sale…this isn´t a new. He hasn´t say it.
