Dante was born on 25 August 1999 and is presently 24 years old, while Eric was born on 21 February 2007 and is presently 17 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Knight welcomed both his sons with his wife, Evelyn, at a time when his mercurial music career with New Kids on the Block had slowed down a bit. It, therefore, means that he could be a hands-on dad, taking his kids to their various games and whipping up creative dishes for them. Such a show of love has helped his sons to thrive as they grow older. Dante is a college graduate passionate about drama, while Eric Jacob is a high schooler in Milton, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jordan Knight\u2019s First Child is Dante Knight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date of birth:<\/strong> 25 August 1999<\/li>\n<li><strong>Age:<\/strong> 24 Years old<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mother:<\/strong> Evelyn Melendez<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jordan Knight shares two children with his wife, and the very first is a son named Dante Knight. Dante was born on the 25th of August 1999, meaning that Jordan Knight\u2019s first son is 24 years old. Thanks to his parents as well as his place of birth, Dante is an American national with mixed Caucasian and Latina ethnicity. His place of birth is Milton, Massachusetts, and this is also the place where he spent the majority of his formative years.<\/p>\n<p>When Dante was born in 1999, his father was already a rich superstar and a member of the popular band New Kids on the Block. Therefore, the little boy got to live a very comfortable life with all the trappings of wealth. Even better was the fact that Dante\u2019s dad worked hard to provide a normal life for him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That&#39;s right!<\/p>\n<p>Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JordanKnight?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JordanKnight<\/a>&#39;s son,<br \/>Dante Jordan, turns 17!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HappyBirthdayDante?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HappyBirthdayDante<\/a>!<br \/>RT it! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vyIX9diUtO\">pic.twitter.com\/vyIX9diUtO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NKOTB MUSIC Warriors (@NKOTBWhisperVMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NKOTBWhisperVMA\/status\/768954114969600002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 25, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He shielded him from the spotlight. He also made out time to indulge in father-son activities with him. For instance, when Dante gained interest in various sporting activities, including hockey, his superstar dad gladly schlepped him to his games. He also volunteered to be his team\u2019s assistant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twincities.com\/2012\/01\/22\/middle-age-new-kid-jordan-knight-by-day-a-stay-at-home-dad\/\">coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dante\u2019s dad also made sure to create quality time for the family. They often embarked on an outing to a cherished local restaurant named Abbey Park. They also indulged in activities such as bowling etc. Dante\u2019s dad also brought him along to some of his concerts and the young boy was blown away by the magnitude of his father\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Dante Knight thus had a good childhood by every measure. He attended quality educational institutions in the town of Milton. He also took part in several extracurricular activities. For instance, he was a member of the Boy Scouts and received an arrow of the light award, which is the highest award that a cub scout can receive, in 2010.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dante Knight is Possibly a College Graduate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dante Knight graduated high school in 2017, and his dad, who was away in Canada, embarked on a nine-hour journey just to come back to see him. The young man is currently 24 years old and has probably finished college if he chooses to go that route. It is hard to tell what he is doing with his life as he stays out of the spotlight and avoids social media.<\/p>\n<p>However, he could be pursuing an acting career. As a teenager growing up in Milton, he was a member of the Cohasset Dramatic Club and took part in their <a href=\"https:\/\/sleeplesscritic.com\/2017\/02\/02\/cohasset-dramatic-club-will-welcome-4th-annual-play-festival-briefs\/\">annual show<\/a>, <em>Briefs<\/em>, in 2017. <em>Briefs<\/em> include a variety of ten-minute plays bordering on drama, comedy, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Dante Knight may have also jettisoned acting in favor of a regular job. Whichever one, he is living a thriving life. He still has a good relationship with his parents and was quarantined together with them during covid-19. And they played cards and indulged in other family activities together.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_156126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-156126\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156126\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/Jordan-Knight-1.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan Knight\" width=\"696\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/Jordan-Knight-1.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/Jordan-Knight-1-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-156126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dante Knight (2nd right &#8211; front row) with the Cohasset drama club in 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sleeplesscritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cohasset-briefs2017.jpg?resize=1000%2C700&amp;ssl=1\">Image Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Jordan Knight\u2019s Second Child is Eric Jacob Knight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date of birth:<\/strong> 21 February 2007<\/li>\n<li><strong>Age:<\/strong> 17 years old<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mother:<\/strong> Evelyn Melendez<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jordan Knight\u2019s second child is another son named Eric Jacob. Eric Jacob was born on the 21st of February 2007, nearly eight years after the birth of his elder brother. Jordan Knight and his wife have yet to explain the reason behind such a gap. Perhaps they had difficulty conceiving a second time, but one thing that is for sure is that the whole family was ecstatic over Eric\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n<p>His father spoke openly to reveal that he was on cloud nine and praised his wife for her unbelievable strength. He also revealed that Dante was so excited to meet his new brother that he couldn\u2019t sleep properly for a day and a half, presumably the time his parents spent in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan and his wife eventually brought Eric home, and the whole family lavished a lot of love on him. The superstar singer took over the feeding and diaper duties at night so that he could bond with his son and his wife could get some rest. Dante, on his own part, was not<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2007\/08\/14\/new-knight-on-the-block\/\"> jealous<\/a> of all the love that his parents showed the new arrival but rather took his big brother duties seriously and joined in taking care of his brother.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Happy Birthday to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JordanKnight?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jordanknight<\/a>\u2019s son Eric have a happy 14th birthday with love and fun \ud83c\udf82\ud83c\udf88\ud83c\udf81\ud83c\udf89 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SMwjHYz8KV\">pic.twitter.com\/SMwjHYz8KV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; JordanGirlNkotb (@girlmeare) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/girlmeare\/status\/1363633067009728520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>He is a High Schooler in Milton, Massachusetts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Eric Jacob is presently 17 years old and has spent most of his life in Milton, save for vacations to places such as Canada.
