Who is Jordan Knight? 6 Fun Facts About the NKOTB Singer

2. His Kids Don’t Love Social Media

Jordan is all grown up with two sons of his own, Dante and Eric. One is in his second year of college and the other is just hitting his teenage years. While we might see JK showing up on Instagram Live often while on tour, he admitted he is not as active on social media when he’s home. (Scroll to 13:20 on the video to see it) “When I’m home, I’m a homebody. It’s very plain living,” Jordan said. You also won’t see much of a presence from his sons as he said they don’t really like social media. “I don’t put my family on social media. They’re not into it,” he said. “Even if I wanted to, they wouldn’t let me,” he revealed.

3. He Loves This One Drink

No, it’s not any alcohol. Have you ever heard of Le Croix? It’s a carbonated flavored sparkling water. “There isn’t any artificial sweetner in it,” he said. While he was sipping on one in the tour bus, he claimed he has “about 8 of these a day” when he’s home. The drink comes in a variety of flavors like lime, berry, coconut, tangerine and more.

4. Once Sang with His Idols

Growing up, when people asked him who his inspirations were he said the likes of Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, the Stylistics. When Jordan and the rest of NKOTB got the opportunity to share the stage and sing with the Stylistics, Jordan’s brother Jonathan had to capture the moment. Watch below as he gets his solo on “You Make Me Feel Brand New.”

5. Jordan’s Favorite Foods are the American Classics

This guy is “low maintenance” as he says. When a fan asked him what he likes to eat, Jordan mentioned the American classics. “I love pizza and a good burger,” he said. And what does he like most for dessert? Chocolate ice cream of course!

6. He is a Restaurant Owner

Since Jordan grew up in Dorchester and currently lives in Massachusetts with his family, it’s only natural he’s going to invest in that area. In 2016, he became one of the owners of Novara, an Italian restaurant in Milton. When asked what he recommends off the menu, Jordan told Boston Magazine, “The pizza is amazing. The tortellini was really good, the calamari was really good.” He continued by saying, “[Chef Tony DeRienzo] is an Italian guy and he grew up learning to cook from his grandmother,” so how could you really go wrong?
