Jonathan Knight of NKOTB is competing on TV’s “Amazing Race” with boyfriend Harley Rodriguez

During the height of his fame as a member of the band New Kids on the Block, Jonathan Knight was not open with the public about his being gay.

But he sure is now.

Jonathan is competing in the new season of the CBS reality competition Amazing Race with his partner of seven years, Harley Rodriguez.

‘Going through this whole process with him has been really surreal,’ Knight, 46, says.

Adds Rodriguez, 41: ‘Putting our lives out there for people to know about us – it’s not usually what we do.’

Below is a video introducing all of the teams – good luck to Jonathan and Harley!
