Is Evelyn Melendez Still Married to Jordan Knight?

Well, the short answer to this question would be yes. The beginnings of their relationship trace back to 1996 when they first met, after which the two started a romantic relationship which soon resulted in Evelyn becoming pregnant- she gave birth to their first child, Dante Jordan, born on the 25th August 1999. The couple continued their relationship, and five years later crowned their love with a wedding ceremony, which was rather private, as in attendance there were only family and closest friends. The couple’s second child, Eric Jacob, was born on the 21st February 2007.  In recent years, Jordan’s extramarital affairs began surfacing, such as with actress and model Shanna Moakler, which lasted for around a year, before he ended the romance and rekindled with Evelyn. The two are apparently now happy and have been working out on their differences.
