Personal Life

They had already been living together for six years. Prior to this, he was romantically linked to Mark Cornelsen from 2007 to 2009.
Real Estate
In 2007 T.R. paid $2.912 million for a home in Los Angeles. He listed this home for sale in September 2010 for a shade under $4 million. He ultimately accepted a slight loss when he sold the property in April 2011 for $2.7 million. The loss was actually much more because Knight had performed a major renovation perform moving in and reportedly spent a year living a nearby rental while the work was being done.
