New Kids on the Block perform at the Texas Roadhouse MP Conference

In yesterday’s post I shared that the guys were spotted in the Bahamas. Turns out they were not just there for pleasure, but they had to work a bit while they were there too. Last night they played a private show there! 

Shortly after my post yesterday, Joey posted a tropical photo in his stories. 

Then, in a comment on my Instagram post, someone said that they were doing a private concert there. 

I’ve been combing social media and finally came across some posts from captain_kaos_, who was hired to do the lighting. He posted these short clips from the show: 

He also posted a photo of the stage in which you can more clearly see the signs: “Texas Roadhouse MP Conference”! (I believe MP is “managing partner”). 


Jon the posted a couple of photos with someone from Texas Roadhouse: 


How it started Vs How it ended! @Sfaulk001 of Texas Road House

Donnie shared this photo of him and Jordan: 

Update (just as I was ready to publish this post): Some even better video clips are out, thanks to Rebecca on Facebook! Here's a few of her videos, visit her profile for more photos and clips. 

Here is a photo of the the set list from Rebecca: 


Here's another one from Tiffani on TikTok! 

@tiffani_vasquez @nkotbofficial thank you for putting on an amazing show at @bahamarresorts in the #bahamas for the @texasroadhouseofficial and @bubbas33official MP conference! And thank you #donniewahlberg ♬ original sound - Tiffani-RealtorMomofLubbock

NKOTB members spotted in the Bahamas

Last Thursday, Donnie posted this photo of him on a plane but didn't specify where he was going...

He had been quieter than usual on social media, so I figured he was maybe just taking some much needed time off and going on vacation. 

Then on Saturday he posted a note on Instagram saying "excursion with four friends 🤖". 

Last night he revealed that he was in Nassau, Bahamas when he posted a few things in his stories...






So then I was thinking, it's possible that the "four friends" he referred to earlier were Victor, Tara, Kevin, and an untagged person. But then Jon posted this photo: 

He tagged the location as "Rosewood Baha Mar", so I clicked on that, and saw it was a resort in the Bahamas! Then I clicked on the resort Donnie had tagged and saw that it was also called "Baha Mar".  So maybe those 4 friends are the other members of NKOTB after all! 

And just now as I'm writing this post, I see that Harley just posted some photos and a video. You can spot Jon, Donnie and Jordan, as well as Tara, Victor, and Evelyn on a boat!


Here's a freeze frame from the video above: 


Here's a couple of other photos Harley shared



Update: I'm hearing the guys will be performing a private concert there (I'm guessing tonight - see the comments on my Instagram post). If anyone has photos or videos that you can share, please share them!

Jon Knight on TV tonight and other Jon updates!

"Rock the Block" is done, but good news - you will get to see Jon on TV again tonight! He will be appearing on "Hometown Takeover" tonight on HGTV at 8/7c!

Here's a photo Jon shared on his Instagram yesterday: 

Home Town Takeover’s new season begins tomorrow night! On HGTV. So happy I was able to lend a hand to @dave.marrs and @jennymarrs on this special project.

Yesterday was Harley's birthday, and Jon posted this photo of them celebrating his birthday in the Bahamas!

Today we celebrate 50 years around the sun… and 15 years of giving me the best years of my life. I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU… I LOVE YOU. #loveislove. #husbands

I'll post more on my next Donnie post, but I have a suspicion that all the New Kids were in the Bahamas this weekend!

Check out Jon's Instagram for some more new photos including ones of the inside of his barn, getting his garden ready, and him with his adorable puppy, Oliver!

In other Jon news, Keith Bynum shared this photo of Jon and other people who worked on the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge 

If you missed the behind the scenes episode that aired on Monday, Realtor.com posted an article highlighting some of the surprising things that were revealed in that episode. 

Kristina made a post on Instagram highlighting some of the exterior of their "Rock the Block" house. 

She also shared this photo showing a behind the scenes of getting the last area staged:

Joey McIntyre updates: New album based off of his Carnegie show, and more!

After Joey's show at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, he did a Q&A session and he mentioned that he would be recording the set list that he did at Carnegie hall! He said he will release it as a limited edition vinyl, but will be available digitally as well. He also said he might include a couple of new songs. Thank you to Rafeef for capturing the video below: 


He was also asked about whether or not he would return to play the part of Johnny if "The Wanderer" goes to Broadway. He said it depended on if the schedule worked out between that and the New Kids on the Block tour schedule. Thank you to Jennifer for sharing this video, and Rafeef for capturing it: 


Prior to his show, Joey posted a few things on his social media leading up to it!




He posted a couple of photos of himself and Eman in San Francisco from when they performed at Great American Music Hall in the past. 




Then he posted some more when he arrived in San Francisco:







He posted a few things after the show: 




Oh this looks familiar 😉 (hopefully he doesn't mind the spoilers being posted):


After his show, he switched places and became a fan in the audience at a concert of one of his favorite performers, John Mayer. 


 

He shared this after his 15 meditation on Monday:

Joey ran the Boston Marathon the year of the bombing. He shared what he had written 10 years ago when it happened: 

Casting Director Chad Eric Murnane-Fuselier shared this video of Joey wishing him luck with his new venture: "Murnane Casting".
