Jonathan Knight just proved he’s still got massive star power even when he’s not onstage with New Kids on the Block or filming his former HGTV show, “Farmhouse Fixer.” On February 12, 2026, Knight unveiled a unique bracelet he designed in collaboration with the nonprofit 4ocean. Incredibly, it sold out in under five hours, helping a cause he cares deeply about.
Jonathan Knight Turned the Plastic He Collected Into a Bracelet Charm
In February 2025, Knight and his husband, Harley Rodriguez, spent a day in Key Largo, Florida, with 4Ocean, working with fellow volunteers to clear over 500 pounds of debris from the water.
“The plastic he and our team pulled from the water that day didn’t go to waste,” 4ocean wrote in a social media post one year later. “We transformed it into something bigger, a limited-edition 4ocean bracelet. A piece of that cleanup. A symbol of real action. A reminder that impact is hands-on.”
Knight shared the post in his Instagram Stories and wrote, “So proud to be a part of this organization and all they do!”
The orange, blue, and white bracelet was listed for $29 on 4ocean’s website, which said each purchase would “remove 1 pound of trash from the world’s ocean, rivers, and coastlines.” In just a few hours, the bracelet had sold out.
Knight posted an update in his Stories that said, “My biggest thanks to everyone that purchased a bracelet today. Together we made strides to combat the plastic disaster happening in our oceans.”
Jonathan Knight Loves Involving Fans in His Environmental Efforts
This is not the first time Knight has asked his fans to get involved with his efforts to improve and protect the environment. In 2024, while on tour with New Kids on the Block, he asked fans to stop bringing him friendship bracelets made of plastic beads, a show of support made especially popular by Taylor Swift fans.
In a social media post at the time, Knight wrote, “Blockheads…I love all the friendship bracelets and appreciate the love. However I prefer a hug instead. Feel free to give them to the other members, but consider plastic is a major issue for our environment. I want to be part of reducing plastic not contributing to the problem”
Knight later came up with the idea to ask Blockheads for “seeds instead of beads.” In a social media post, he wrote, “Bring me a packet of wildflower seeds instead to be planted on my farm this Spring. I’ll document the experience while I create my yearly wildflower garden that you can be a part of.”
In March 2025, the singer revealed he’d received so many seed packets from fans that he was planning a huge wildflower garden on his Massachussetts property. By that fall, he was able to post a video of the amazing garden they were all responsible for creating together, as seen above.
Knight, who skyrocketed to fame in the 90s as one-fifth of New Kids on the Block, reinvented himself in recent years as a home renovation expert, restoring worn-out New England homes on “Farmhouse Fixer.” But the show was one of many that HGTV cut in 2025 amid declining viewership and financial strain.
