In 2008, New Kids On the Block was planning on making their comeback in the music industry; however, another big moment was in store for band member Jonathan Knight. Knight met his future husband Harley Rodriguez in 2008, right around the time that NKOTB was gearing up for a comeback. Knight recounted how the couple met in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"We were rehearsing the day I met him," Knight explained. "He's a trainer at Barry's Bootcamp, so I would be with the band all day, then the only time I got to see him was to go take his class. I'd take his class then we'd go for dinner afterwards."
While the pair grew closer as Knight's music career was taking off once again, he emphasized how much Rodriguez's support meant to him as he's stood by all these years. "He's been around from the beginning and seen [NKOTB's comeback] morph into what it is today."
