Jonathan Knight took to his website yesterday and revealed something that leaves us less shocked than we’ll be when Jesse James and Kat Von D file for divorce in a couple months:
He’s gay.
The topic of this singer’s sexuality came up this month because former pop star Tiffany went on Bravo and said she did once date a member of New Kids on the Block, the guy “who became gay later.”
Knight said he doesn’t blame Tiffany at all for that slip-up and added:
“I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost twenty years ago. I never knew that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!
“I love living my life being open and honest, but at this time I choose not to discuss my private life any further! My fellow band members don’t discuss their private lives with their loved ones and I don’t feel that just because I am gay, I should have to discuss mine!”
Knight and his fellow New Kids kick off their tour with The Backstreet Boys on June 2.
