Jonathan Knight’s market has officially ended. On the HGTV set, the Farmhouse Fixer star and New Kids on the Block member spoke with ET’s Lauren Zima about the show’s second season and secretly marrying his longtime girlfriend, Harley Rodriguez.
“It’s so exciting,” Knight said about the series. I was surprised that HGTV would not be doing the celebrity thing after I had been trying for so long to get a television show. When things have changed a few years later, they say, “Yes, this is ideal,” so far everything has gone smoothly.”
He continued, “Fixing up houses is such a passion of mine.” “When I posted images of projects I had completed on Instagram, fans would frequently ask me, “What is your other job besides the New Kids?” and I just think it’s so great to be able to showcase what I do and have people watch.”
Despite his love of home improvement, Knight’s favorite aspect of the HGTV show is being able to give old houses a new coat of paint; some of the farmhouses he renovates date back to the 1700s.
“I just got sick of vinyl-sided houses in subdivisions,” Knight said of her new home builder and condo developer career. I backed away from that and teamed up with a friend, and we just started buying all these old houses and bringing them back to life because, in my opinion, they don’t have as much character and history as an old house.
While on tour with the New Kids, Knight works on Farmhouse Fixer, providing the original boy band heartthrob with the best of both worlds.
“I would never have imagined in my 20s that at 54, I’d still be touring with the New Kids, and I’d have a hit TV show on HGTV,” he said as he approached his 54th birthday.
Aside from Knight’s professional accomplishments, there are other reasons to celebrate. He also told ET that he and his fiancee were married.

In response to a question about the ring on his finger, Knight stated, “We did. However, because everyone assumed we were married, I never said yes or no because I didn’t want to lie.
Despite secretly marrying, the couple has yet to hold a wedding reception due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He continued, “It will arrive.” For more information on Knight and the fantastic homes he renovates, watch Farmhouse Fixer season 2 on HGTV on August 24.
