New Kids on the Block’s Jonathan Knight
posted a statement on the band’s official website assuring fans that he has never hidden his sexuality.
.
“To all my fans who have expressed concern: 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!”
