'NKOTB' Jonathan Knight Marries Longtime Boyfriend

With his home makeover series "Farmhouse Fixer" having arrived for its second season, Jonathan Knight announced he has married his longtime partner Harley Rodriguez in secret, ET announced in an exclusive report.

When asked about the ring on his finger, the New Kids On The Block band member said he had married. "We did. But everybody just assumed we're married, so, I never say yes or no 'cause I don't wanna lie."

"While the pair wed in secret, they have yet to celebrate their nuptials, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, writes ET. "It's coming," he added.

"I'm about to turn 54, and I would have never thought in my 20s that at 54, I'd still be touring with the New Kids, and I would have a hit TV show on HGTV," he said.

"Farmhouse Fixer" returned to HGTV on Aug. 24.

"It's such a passion of mine, fixing up houses," he continued. "I would post on Instagram pictures of projects I did, and fans would always ask me, 'What is your other job besides the New Kids?' and I just think it's so great to be able to showcase what I do, and people can watch."

One big plus for Knight is that he gets to work on old structures with some of the farm homes he fixes dating back to the 1700s.

"I started my career doing new houses and condos, and I just got sick of, like, vinyl-sided houses in subdivisions," Knight explained. "And to me, they don't have as much character as an old house, and history, so, I kinda pulled back from that and teamed up with a friend a mine, and we just started buying all these old houses and just bringing them back to life."

And he's thrilled by the show's success. "It is so exciting," Knight gushed to ET of the series. "I mean, I've been trying to get a show on TV for so many years, and actually, HGTV told me we're not gonna do the celebrity thing, and I was like, 'Oh.' And then a few years later, things change, and they're like, 'Yes, this is perfect,' so it's been great."
