Former New Kid outed by jilted lover

It's boy band day at BananaGuide with another bit of gossip coming our way.

The National Enquirer is planning a story for February 16 about New Kids On The Block's Jonathan Knight. He's the New Kid we always suspected was gay and, well, it appears that he is.

Kyle Wilker is the man behind the revelation. A former boyfriend, he decided to make a quick buck before fading into obscurity by selling the news and some pics to the gossip rag. "We had a wonderful relationship. I was in love with him and I believe he was in love with me."

The romance lasted 18 months.

Don't worry, Jonathan; look what coming out did for Lance Bass! And you're so much cuter.
