Child Star Who Left Hollywood at the Peak of His Career

Christopher Knight, forever known as Peter Brady from the iconic 1970s sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” navigated a unique path after achieving childhood fame. While the show catapulted him to stardom, Knight chose to diverge from the typical Hollywood trajectory, opting for a life beyond the spotlight.

Born in New York and raised in California, Knight’s acting career began early, culminating in his breakout role as the mischievous middle child in the beloved Brady family. “The Brady Bunch” became a cultural phenomenon, but the fame that accompanied it presented its own set of challenges. Knight felt constrained by the character and yearned for a life beyond the confines of the show.

Following the series’ conclusion in 1974, Knight initially pursued acting but gradually shifted his focus, venturing into the business world. He co-founded several successful companies, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and acumen. Despite his professional achievements, the shadow of Peter Brady inevitably followed him, resurfacing in various aspects of his life. However, as the show’s 50th anniversary approached, Knight embraced his “Brady Bunch” legacy, participating in reunions and reflecting on his experiences.

Knight’s personal life has been a journey of its own. He has navigated several relationships, including four marriages. His most prominent relationship was with model Adrianne Curry, though their marriage ultimately ended. He later found love with fitness expert Cara Kokenes, providing him with stability and support. Knight cherishes his family and fondly recalls the blessing he received from his late co-star, Florence Henderson, for his marriage to Kokenes.
