The recent interview with Jon Bon Jovi conducted by The Independent has sparked controversy, particularly regarding his comments on his past drug experiences, advice to his son about marriage, and his admission of infidelity. Jon Bon Jovi, now 62, and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, 61, who secretly wed in 1989, are nearing their 35th anniversary and have four children together: Stephanie (born 1993), Jesse (born 1995), Jake (born 2002), and Romeo (born 2004).
In discussing his marriage, Jovi attributes its longevity to mutual admiration and growing up together. However, he also mentioned the challenges they’ve faced, hinting at the compromises necessary for a successful relationship.
During an ABC Primetime show, Halfway Special, Jon Bon Jovi joked about “getting away with murder” and acknowledged his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, hinting at past romantic encounters. Despite this, he later clarified his remarks, praising his wife for her support and their joint efforts in maintaining their relationship.
Media speculation has arisen about potential strain in their marriage due to Jovi’s comments on infidelity, notably Dorothea’s absence from a recent New York event for Jovi’s docuseries, “Thank You, Goodnight.”
