“That’s kind of awesome,” he recalled thinking.

Jonathan Knight and Harley Rodriguez had a special engagement in Africa.

On a November 2016 episode of Jenny McCarthy’s SiriusXM radio show, Jonathan Knight talked a bit about the special day.

“We were in Africa, our parents were there — our moms were there — and I just figured this was the time to pop the question. We’ve always considered ourselves a married couple,” he said.

“We were on the Zambezi river, it’s right above Victoria Falls. We took a nighttime raft dinner, just the four of us out on the river. There was a hippopotamus in the background. It was a super moon. It was just absolutely beautiful, it was so romantic,” he added.

A couple of years later, the two secretly got married.
