Jon Bon Jovi the frontman and lead singer of the popular rock band Bon Jovi appears to have passed down his famous good looks to his three sons, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo Bongiovi.
Married to his high school sweetheart Dorthea Hurley for three decades the famous rocker has admitted that the best decision he has ever made has been to spend his life with Dorthea.
The happy couple was married on April 29, 1989, at the Graceland Wedding Chapel, Las Vegas Valley, NV. Jon happily speaks of the couple’s love story stating, that at age 27-year-old they just decided to fly to Las Vegas, during a one-day break on the New Jersey tour and secretly marry Hurley.
At the top of his game, everything was going Jon’s way and he felt the only thing missing at the time was Dorthea. “We did it for us and didn’t give a damn,” Bon Jovi told VH1. “I got a lot of heat from it, between the band, my parents, Doc [McGhee, Bon Jovi’s manager]. Everybody was pissed off. It took me a couple of days before I realized that I don’t give a shit what anybody thinks.”
When first hearing of Jon Bon Jovi‘s marriage female fans across the globe reacted with mixed emotions of jealously, heartbreak and happiness for
their favorite rocker.
“We did it for us and didn’t give a damn,” Bon Jovi told VH1. “I got a lot of heat from it, between the band, my parents, Doc [McGhee, Bon Jovi’s manager]. Everybody was pissed off. It took me a couple of days before I realized that I don’t give a shit what anybody thinks.”
So how have they managed to make it work in the celebrity world? “Somehow it works,” Dorothea said. “I think because we grow at the same rate. We grew equally and not in opposite directions.”
Jon attributes his successful marriage to the woman he married.
“She’s the glue,” he said of Dorothea. “I’m the crazy visionary with all kinds of things flying, and the seams are all splitting. She’s the one following me with the glue and the thread and needle, keeping it all together.”
