Jonathan Knight has shared a touching message reflecting on his unforgettable experience competing alongside his brother Jordan Knight on HGTV’s Rock the Block. While the duo didn’t take home the top prize, their journey together proved far more meaningful than any trophy. The two, who have been bandmates in New Kids on the Block for over four decades, reunited on the renovation series for a heartfelt collaboration that blended family, friendship, and creativity.
In the season finale, Jonathan and Jordan became emotional as they looked back on their time working together in Utah. The brothers, who won two challenges during the competition, opened up about how the experience deepened their bond. “We’ve been through so many journeys,” Jonathan said. “I remember as a kid, he was the first one to make it into New Kids, and that scared me—like I was going to lose him. These past six weeks having him by my side have been an incredible journey.” Their teamwork and shared passion for design brought a sentimental energy to the show, reminding fans that their connection goes far beyond music.
After the finale aired, Jonathan took to Instagram to express his gratitude and pride. Sharing a photo of himself and Jordan standing in front of their finished modern farmhouse, he wrote, “Words cannot express the incredible time me and Jordan shared this season on Rock the Block. This collaboration ranks very high among the things we’ve done together. My love for the other competitors runs high! We got really close while spending so many days together. We shared our excitement and disappointment all while keeping focused on winning our spaces and ultimately the competition. Cheers to all and congrats to the winners. Our work in Utah paid off—I’m so excited for the families that will soon call our creations home.”
The post drew an outpouring of love from fans and fellow Rock the Block stars alike. Contestants Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama wrote, “Love you guys!” while host Ty Pennington added, “You guys were awesome! Everyone was really great to work with. See you in Vegas, boys!” Fellow HGTV personalities Cole DeBoer and Michel Smith Boyd also chimed in with their support, praising the brothers for their kindness and creativity throughout the season.
Now, the Knight brothers are preparing for their next big chapter: New Kids on the Block’s Las Vegas Residency, The Right Stuff, which runs into 2026. Even as they return to the stage, fans are hopeful this won’t be their last time teaming up on HGTV. With their blend of humor, heart, and brotherly chemistry, Jonathan and Jordan have once again shown that their partnership—on stage or on screen—is truly something special.
