NKOTB Jonathan Knight Gay
February 5, 2009

New Kids On The Block star Jonathan Knight, 39, has been outed by his ex-boyfriend, 27-year-old Brazilan model Kyle Wilker.
Kyle told the National Enquirer that he and Knight met at a bar on Fire Island that Kyle was working at and dated for 18 months saying:
“We had a wonderful relationship. I was in love with him and I believe he was in love with me.”
Kyle adds that Jonathan likes to stay at home, watch TV and read saying:
“I call him a straight guy who happens to be gay.”
Perez Hilton is also reporting that the NKOTB star is for sure gay and very open about it.
A source revealed:
“Jonathan has a [non-famous] boyfriend and they’re very happy. They’re not trying to hide it.”
His new man’s name is Harley and he works as a trainer at Barry’s Bootcamp in Los Angeles.
They say the pair have been VERY open about their relationship hanging out at The Abey in West Hollywood and kissing publicly over dinner at the restaurant Beso.

I always had a feeling he was a little too sweet!
February 6th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
to quote Charlie Brown….”Good Grief!” Who the hell cares who the man dates? Jonathan, you are perfect just the way you are. Just ask ANY of your true fans. We really do not care about this. We want you to be happy, and we would really, love for you to continue with NKOTB. Lots of love headin your way!!! Tell the rest to suck off!!!!!

No body cares what his preference is… He’s a great person, deserves to be happy and that’s the bottom line… We love you Jon!!!

Considering the source, I’m a little skeptical…people can do amazing things with photoshop these days! But if it is true, I say good for him and I hope he finds someone to make him happy! He’s still a talented musician and seems like a very sweet and down-to-earth guy…and I’ll still be a New Kids fan for life!

if hes so open and out about it then why is the media espesh this
Perez Hilton having to make such a fuss over it?
gay or not Jonathon is still a good guy me is starting to think this
could be more a certain journalists fantasy more than truth the way
its constantly being mentioned - all linking back to the same source!
my mate dean is gay and open if thats any interest as clearly there is
a fixsation on gay males who dont hide away.

Anyone heard whether Jonathan has responded to this at all?
February 9th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Seriously? THIS is the ground-breaking, earth-shattering article that’s supposed to devastate his career and break up the New Kids? THIS??!!
I hope this Kyle guy got the $50 bucks the Enquirer promised him.
What a joke.

Jon, if you happen to read this;
be happy and live your life the way you choose to…it’s too
short and beautiful to worry about this! You are a truly amazing
person and your true fans will always support you, no matter what!
Thanx for all the wonderful face-time moments, will cherish those
memories forever!
Love ya!

I dont believe this story….Jon should be left alone, this is all the media
February 16th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
well, this aint news to me at all. I figured it out like so many yrs ago. He was so camp even back in the day the way he behaved and stuff. It was like written all over his face. And it’s not gonna change anything. There’s always a bender in a boyband. That’s just how it goes.

Why can’t they just leave him alone? It is no wonder Jon is scared about having a relationship with someone! Ladies I think we should NOT believe the enquirer.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:56 am
Jonathan, you are still perfect the way you are! WE LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!! If you are happy so am I! Never change!!!:-)

I think it is not fair that Jon’s personal life she be a concern to anyone. What he does is his own business. If he wasn’t a celebrity would anyone really care what he does. The ex-boyfriend should have just left Jon’s personal life personal. Jon if you read this comment I’m writing you just go own with your life and ignor the trash talk from someone that wishes he had you back. Love your fans from Long Island New York

Firstly the comment from Erin a bit further up - out of order!!! Jon hun, ur sexy as hell whether ur straight , gay or even bi (u gotta let the girls have some too, lol)!
Loved chatting to you in Sheffield (UK) - really down to earth guy and very easy to talk to! LEAVE the man alone and get a life!!!

I don”t care if Jon is gay or straight he is still hot.what he does in his personal life is his bisness and i hope he is happy.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
as as far as iam concerned…..’gay’ means happy!!….and i am most profoundly happy for jon and still fancy him!! god bless him always xxxx
April 19th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Who cares if he is gay. He deserves to be happy just like every other person on this earth regardless of his sexual orientation. I have been a fan since i was 11 im now 30 and if he is gay its not going to change anything for me he is still a great, sexy, talented guy. You rock Jonathan xxx

Don’t really care, I luv this guy no matter what.. Why do people care so much?
July 21st, 2009 at 9:30 pm
RRRRR!!!
Why is it the goofy ones in these boy bands are gay?
Example—Why couldn’t Jordan Knight be the gay one in NKOTB instead of Jonathan?
And NSynch? Why Lance? Why couldn’t it be Justin or JC???

WTF “Kyle Wilker” is the most unBrazilian name I have ever heard… what is his real name? Tiago Silva?
