Brent Corrigan has taken to Twitter to share the news that he and his (ex)fiancé, fellow adult performer J.J. Knight, have called it quits.
In a post sent out to Corrigan’s 248K Twitter followers, he said:
My heart is heavy as I share the news that @JJKnightXXX & I are no longer taking on the world together. All the good in JJ will shine bright now that he has chosen make a new life for himself. Please be considerate of our privacy in the meantime. Thank you.

The two announced their engagement in 2017, when Knight said, “It’s true we don’t have it as easy as ordinary couples, but I can promise you that this is no ordinary love! He is the man of my dreams, and I am proud to call him my fiancé!”
Putting aside the privacy paradox, the positive tone of Corrigan’s update suggests this to be an amicable conscious uncoupling.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Knight shared a more cryptic message.
Without additional comment, he posted a video for Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix’s song “Scared to be Lonely”:
Knight also had some words for a commenter on Twitter who asked of Brent’s post:
Considerate of privacy whilst putting it all over Twitter?

Knight responded:
Don’t be a douche bag and ask a bunch of questions when it doesn’t concern you!

Words to live by.

“Don’t be a douche bag and ask a bunch of questions when it doesn’t concern you! ”

Really? It sounds like they were putting the entire relationship out there for everybody to see. Seems like Kim Kardashian screaming at somebody that her life is private and people shouldn’t be interested.

I’m sorry, but who ware these men and why should I give a shit?
Donston
They’re sex workers, and accordig to the media and culture stereotypes gay and gay-leaning men are supposed to care about them because of that.
DarkZephyr
Actually, what they are, are gay men who are at least somewhat famous. We aren’t “supposed to care” because we’re gay. We MIGHT care because some of us are human beings who have hearts and these are our gay brothers.
Donston
Sorry, that did come off bitchy. But you can’t tell me that gay media doesn’t pay way more attention to porn performers and sex workers than mainstream press. There’s nothing wrong with caring. But it’s not a given that we all will or should. And we bytch about stereotypes. However, that’s pretty much all “our media” purports.
Creamsicle
I understand “caring about our brothers,” but you have to admit that Donston has a point. Gay culture in the US has become so porn-centric that it sometimes feels like it’s the only commonality between gay men. As gay ghettos gentrify there is less substance to the “gay community,” because the community part has steadily been chipped away.
Gay men used to be men who felt free to enjoy art, opera, and culture in general because any accusation of femininity were moot to men who opted out of stoic and overly macho culture, which is not to necessarily condemn masculinity as “toxic,” as is the trend is these days.
Now we’re not much more than a bunch of porn categories.
Juanjo
Thank you, Miss Donston, for your slut shaming.
Bob LaBlah
Donston, I would have apologized for nothing. The truth is the truth.
tham
God, he’s aged terribly.
ChrisK
Maybe but he’ll always have that huge piece of meat between his legs and he’ll always get the hottest piece of ass to take care of it.
CastleSF
Chris, please don’t speak in such a crass manner.
Bob LaBlah
I think he aged pretty good. The problem is he looks lonely and distant no matter whether its a still picture or a video. This is what happens when one’s butthole instead of one’s brain brought them fame.
frankcar1965
I actually think he has aged pretty well, He kind of turned from a twink into a slightly beefy hunk of a man, I wish I had aged so terribly like that, not that he has done anything constructive with his life, he’ll never be anything but a prostitute for sure.
chris33133
Actually, I agree with Barnett. If you’re going to be public with your life, then don’t expect much privacy when things go bad. If you want privacy, just take a break from social media.
Frank
These two as well as many others CAN NOT live without validation no matter the situation…
Tombear
WHO CARES!!!!
WillParkinson
Well, you took the time to reply, so apparently you do.
Juanjo
Exactly! WHO CARES what you think?????!!!!!
ryantbo
Wow! If 2 shallow porn stars can’t make it work, what hope is there for ANY of us
Frank
The sad part is the most compelling connection I (also many others) have seen these two porn actors demonstrate was when their was sex involved…
So take their “break up/relationship” for what it is worth…close to nothing…
If anything go and google their name and watch them have sex (on a free site preferably) and shoot a load

Hey guys: who cares about these boys? Well, some of us find that they are gay news in that we “use” them for our entertainment, just as we use Queerty for our entertainment, amusement, and information. These boys are attractive, wholesome appearing, well endowed in some measures. They became engaged within the last year either for love or to bolster their reputations or careers( like many of either gender, that becomes engaged), and they now have different options and opportunities. They make news and become headlines; I am not fodder for headlines, are you Donston-? We may have evolved from ‘the’ gay community to the gay ‘public’, but we still have a voice, and we still can provide all of the above to younger people entering the ‘out’ gay public. That’s why we care; if you do not, don’t read the articles and find other articles that float your boat.
BGinBigD
Darling, we merely respond to the articles put in front of us. Sometimes the information is relevant, sometimes it doesn’t. If you really are concerned with the “love” lives of pornstars, I, personally, find that sad. But whatever floats your boat. Don’t expect a lot of us to agree with you.
epmcdaniel
The ending of any relationship is hard, there is always a need for some privacy to accelerate the process of moving forward. But I have to point out that when you put your business in the ‘public eye’, there is only a marginal about of privacy that you can expect. JJ Knight’s comment “Don’t be a douche bag and ask a bunch of questions when it doesn’t concern you!” might just be a defense to what has happened in his personal life; however, I can understand when people comment about you wanting privacy when you post such personal business on Twitter. Either way, we deal with personal matter differently.
Frank
These two think their connection is responsible for the rise and fall of stock prices…
Now that is a shame…they and many other sex workers need to know that they are a dime a dozen and their is an expiration date on their desirability…
The only reason why Brent is still out here making movies is because he started SO VERY young….but the END is coming (I hope you see what I did there)
BGinBigD
Honey, please, Miss Knight is under the impression she’s a star. Sorry, dear, you’re a “pornstar”. Huge difference.
Brian
It doesn’t sound like an amicable conscious uncoupling to me, it sounds like Brent got dumped.
scotty
brent, honey…im on vancouver island. be a good boy and come for a visit. you know youre always welcome here.
Bob LaBlah
I bet he’ll come for $300 per night (that is of course if you’re offering the partying material required to get him in the mood).
BGinBigD
“Considerate of privacy”!!!!! LOL What a joke! We are, after all, talking about porn “stars” here. If there was ever a definition of FAKE NEWS, this would fit. Bless their poor hearts.
SPEEDOSWIMMER
They both make me so juicy and moist…
