The 62-year-old Bon Jovi frontman I recently met with him for an interview Michael Strahanand hinted that he may have walked out of his marriage Wife Dorothea Hurleyin the past – especially when he was young – or at least he was offered the opportunity by several women.
“I got away with murder,” the musician said on the ABC special about the early years of his marriage Michael Strahan x Jon Bon Jovi: Halfway. Bon Jovi and Hurley celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary on Monday.
When asked about his status as a “sex symbol” in the ’80s and early ’90s, the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer hinted that he benefited from this attraction in his youth.
“I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star. “I’m not a saint,” Bon Jovi said. “I’m not saying there haven’t been 100 girls in my life. I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good.”
However, the singer added that he never wanted to risk marriage with his high school sweetheart just to satisfy his ego.
“If you think I will ever put my life in danger because I believe the narcissist in me is real? “What a stupid thing,” Bon Jovi said, adding that indulging in the typical “excesses” of the rocker lifestyle was “just and not worth it for him.”
Bon Jovi and Hurley tied the knot in 1989 after eloping at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. They share four children – daughter Stephanie, 30, and sons Jesse, 29, Jake, 21and Romeo, 20.

“The 40th,” he said of the band’s milestone anniversary in 2023. “It’s a round number, you know? I mean, I think 40 years is worth looking back on… 50? I think at 50, [I] I’m kind of wondering, ‘Am I going to make it?'”
He added: “It was around the 38th anniversary when these thoughts came to mind and I thought, ‘Time to archive things, time to think about a documentary, time to think about what the plan is’ and all that came together.”
Bon Jovi also reflected on wanting to do the retrospective project and why he didn’t find it difficult to look back on his own life.
