The National Enquirer is reporting that Jonathan Knight, member of the recently reunited boy band New Kids On The Block, has been outed by an ex-boyfriend named Kyle Wilker who claims the pair were involved in a hush-hush romantic relationship for about 18 months leading up to the reformation of NKOTB last year … so of course, Wilker decided to sell his story (and personal intimate photos with Jonathan) to the tabloid. Here is a page from the new issue of The National Enquirer that features a few of these personal photos, one of which shows the two men snogging:

According to Wilker, Jonathan revealed that he “preferred guys to girls” after having dated 80s popstar Tiffany back in the day. Ah ha! So this is all Tiffany’s fault! In any regard, Kyle Wilker’s full story of his love affair with Jonathan Knight is published in the February 19th issue of The National Enquirer. I, for one, am really interested to read more. For years I’ve heard whispers that Jonathan was out of the closet in the years that NKOTB was a distant memory … if, in fact, he is truly this comfortable with his sexuality then I think it would be amazing if he would talk about it publicly now that he’s in the spotlight again. What do y’all think? Are any of y’all surprised by this news? Of all the members of NKOTB, was Jonathan the one y’all thought might be gay?
