How NKOTB Have Stayed Close Over the Years + 31st Anniversary of “Hangin’ Tough” Album!

Iconic pop group New Kids on the Block certainly have the right stuff going on: 30+ years of friendship to celebrate, not to mention the anniversary of their album Hangin’ Tough. Keep reading below to find out how Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, Jordan and Jonathan Knight have stayed close over the last 3 decades!

How are Donnie, Joey, Danny, Jordan, and Jonathan still going strong after 30+ years?

While they may not be new or kids anymore – the guys still got it! Donnie, Joey, Danny, and brothers Jordan and Jonathan have all kept in touch over the years, which has helped strengthen their bond. It doesn’t hurt that the majority of the men are married with children, which gives them something newer to bond over.

Donnie said it best in an AOL Build interview last year when talking about the lasting popularity of NKOTB: “With maturity and growth and appreciation that we’ve all had to stick together for all these years, I’m so honored to be a part of a boy band.”

It’s very true that most things get better with time, and New Kids on the Block have proven that they’re better than ever within these last few years. The band just finished out their Mixtape Tour with pop idols Tiffany and Debbie Gibson; plus they’ve kept up the tradition of hosting a cruise, performing their hits every year for fans.
