Jon Bon Jovi acknowledges he’s made mistakes in his 35-year marriage to high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley

Jon Bon Jovi admitted that he has not always ‘been a saint’ during his 35-year marriage to wife Dorothea Hurley, who he first met in high school in 1980. 

While speaking about his longtime love, the Livin’ on a Prayer crooner, 62, praised her ‘tolerance’ of his demanding touring schedule. 

‘These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom,’ he told The Independent. ‘It’s about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to [mess] up the home life, either.’ 

Additionally, he credited their long-lasting union to a ‘mutual admiration society, and being lucky enough to have grown up together.’

The rock star also raved about his 21-year-old son Jake Bongiovi’s engagement to Millie Bobby Brown, 20.

While he was not initally ‘aware’ of his future daughter-in-law’s work on Stranger Things, he noted that he admires ‘her work ethic.’ 

‘Millie is a movie star. We just went to the premiere of Damsel with her, and Jake’s got his first movie out right now. I’m happy for him,’ the father-of-four gushed. 

Brown and Jake got engaged in April 2023 following two years of dating.

‘They are two young people that are pursuing a dream together, so we’re supportive of it, because our hope for them — and Millie’s parents’ hope for them, because Bob and Kelly Brown, too, met when they were very young — is that the kids will grow together,’ the legendary musician said of the duo. 

He continued: ‘Anything after that is out of all four of us as parents’ control, but they’re good kids. They’ll figure it out.’
