Keep reading below to find out how <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Donnie Wahlberg (opens in a new tab)" href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/tag/donnie-wahlberg/" target="_blank">Donnie Wahlberg</a>, <strong><a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/news/joey-mcintyre-attends-donnie-wahlbergs-50th-birthday-bash-see-photos/">Joey McIntyre</a></strong>, Danny Wood, <strong><a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/toplists/35-fun-facts-about-jordan-knight-nkotb/">Jordan</a></strong> and Jonathan Knight have stayed close over the last 3 decades!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How are Donnie, Joey, Danny, Jordan, and Jonathan still going strong after 30+ years? </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">While they may not be <em>new</em> or <em>kids</em> 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&#8217;t hurt that the majority of the men are married with children, which gives them something newer to bond over. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Donnie said it best in an AOL Build interview last year when talking about the lasting popularity of NKOTB: &#8220;<em>With maturity and growth and appreciation that we&#8217;ve all had to stick together for all these years, I&#8217;m so honored to be a part of a boy band.</em>&#8221; </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">It&#8217;s very true that most things get better with time, and New Kids on the Block have proven that they&#8217;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&#8217;ve kept up the tradition of hosting a cruise, performing their hits every year for fans.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">And what about their album <em>Hangin&#8217; Tough</em>? </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">NKOTB actually reissued their 1988 album <em><strong>Hangin&#8217; Tough </strong></em>last year in celebration of its 30th anniversary. This year, they&#8217;ve one upped themselves by performing those hits like &#8220;<em>Please Don&#8217;t Go Girl</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>The Right Stuff</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>My Favorite Girl</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Cover Girl</em>&#8221; on their <a href="https://wud.tpx.mybluehost.me/website_9bd75fcc/news/andrea-barber-gets-nkotb-birthday-surprise-from-fuller-house-co-star-candace-cameron-bure/"><strong>Mixtape Tour.</strong></a> You can check out a few of their performances below! </p>
