New Kids on the Block were one of the biggest boy bands of the late '80s and throughout the '90s, paving the way for the likes of the Backstreet Boys and Take That.

Low and behold, the members of the hit band are certainly not the 'new kids' anymore. New Kids on the Block comprised Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, and brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight.

They had multiple number-one songs, including the likes of 'Step by Step' and 'Please Don't Go Girl'. Ahhh the nostalgia.

Since their first album in 1986, the band's music has connected with a huge generation of fans, even beyond when the band spilt in 1994 and then reunited from 2007. From families to acting careers - and a few controversies in between - here's what the lives of the New Kids on the Block look like now.

Watch: Yo '90s kids - Remember these? Post continues below.

Donnie Wahlberg now.

Best known for being part of the Wahlberg family with Mark Wahlberg for a sibling, Donnie Wahlberg ventured into acting after leaving New Kids on the Block.

His first acting role was in the 1996 filmBullet, alongside the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Other roles for Wahlberg over the years includedRansom,The Sixth Sense,Band of Brothersand theSawmovies.

The role that he's probably best known for is playing Detective Danny Reagan for more than 14 seasons on the American police drama seriesBlue Bloods, starring Tom Selleck.

He has also been performing lately as part of the New Kids on the Block reunion concerts, and is a co-owner in the Wahlburgers franchise. Recently he reflected on the success of the band, saying it was a surprise to all of them.

"We have the best fans. They've stuck by me forever. We still tour every year, travel all over the world, and we're more successful - at least spiritually now and with our fans - than we were all those years ago," he said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Since 2014, Wahlberg has been married to Jenny McCarthy - an American actor, model, and television personality who is best known for her career with Playboy and being named Playmate of the Year.

They had a reality TV series together in 2015 calledDonnie Loves Jenny, and there were a couple of seasons.

Wahlberg has two sons from his previous marriage to Kimberley Fey, while McCarthy has a son with ex-husband John Mallory Asher.

"Besides being the best wife that I could have ever imagined having, she's also the best step mum and mother," he told Us Weekly. "She's a great partner and to simplify it, having someone to build traditions with my children and it being Jenny is probably the thing I'm most grateful for. I won the lottery."

Joey McIntyre now.

McIntyre has had quite the career!

Following the band parting ways, McIntyre made his acting debut in the filmThe Fantasticks, which was based on the long-running off-Broadway musical. He continued writing and releasing songs ever since - someone solo, some as part of the New Kids on the Block reunion, and other as collaborations.

Broadway is where he really made his mark with critics though.

He had a leading role in the iconic musicalWicked, playing Fiyero. Recently he returned to Broadway as the character Dr. Pomatter in the musicalWaitress.This year he has been touring solo across America and parts of Europe as part of his solo music career.

Recently though he's been chatting about New Kids on the Block through the press, saying he and his bandmates are all "one big family".

"New Kids on the Block has been such a blessing for so many reasons. We've been through so much together, and our fans are our family too," he said. "The craziest thing is that we took 15 years off, and get back together and now we're performing arenas. We have a lot of fun."

McIntyre has three tweens with his wife Barrett Williams

The couple married in 2003 - they met when Williams who was a real estate agent was showing McIntyre a house, and they got on "like a house on fire" he said.

Danny Wood now.

A significant amount of Wood's social content these days is his fitness, body building and recipe videos, where he features healthy and high-protein meal ideas. Funny enough - he has his own sauce range that goes with guacamole.

He also runs a foundation called Remember Betty in honour of his late mum, the foundation raising funds that provide direct financial assistance to breast cancer patients and survivors.

Wood was married for a few years before divorcing in 2006, that marriage resulting in him becoming a dad of three children. Aside from his fitspo content creation, Wood still performs regularly with his old boy band.

"We like to work together and we like to have fun together, so it's definitely a plus for us. And when there's issues in the group and there's struggles, it makes it easier because we're all friends," he said on HLN. "We're older, we all have our own families, it's nice."
