New Kid Coming Out?

Rumor has it New Kid On The Block Jonathan Knight, brother of Jordan, will soon come out of the closet.

A source told gossip blogger Perez Hilton, “Jonathan has a [non-famous] boyfriend and they’re very happy. They’re not trying to hide it.”

After doing a little digging, Hilton turned up even more information on Knight’s alleged gay love life:

Say hello to Harley (below). He’s Jonathan’s bf and he also works as a trainer at Barry’s Bootcamp in Los Angeles.

The pair have been VERY open recently, going to homo central The Abbey in West Hollywood and kissing publicly over dinner at the restaurant Beso

We’ve never been New Kid fans and have always preferred Jordan Knight, but something tells us that’s about the change.

well, I guess this settles that blind item over CDAN from a few months ago. Everybody thought it was about Nick Carter.

Hey BBG372 – what is Jon Knight like in real life? He seems so sweet you just want to hug him!

He was fairly reserved on our dates.

To BBG372 – I can see him being “reserved”. If Jon is really gay I am heartbroken (he would be my ideal husband I think) but at the same time I am happy that he is happy to be who he is. I love him anyway and respect that. Keep in touch!

I’m straight and I have loved Jonathan Knight pretty much my whole life. If he is gay I will still love him I just unfortunately will never be able to have sex with him.

I guess I have to live my fantasies through others. To anyone who has had sex with him out there – WHAT IS HE LIKE IN BED???

Gay or not, its all about happiness. While I will admit I among thousand of females that are saddened over the thought that we will never have a chance(not that we did anyway)of being with our fav new kid, I am glad he is happy. I have had the chance to talk with Jon on a couple of occassions, and he is a great guy…so down to earth. I wish him and his family a wonderful life.
