Bon Jovi's albums have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and he has even received a number of awards, one of which is Best-Selling Music Artists. However, is the band's success the same as Jon Bon Jovi's personal life?
The owner's real name is Jon Francis Bongiovi Jr. and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, turned out to be one example of a couple who are still happy with their married life.

Even sweeter, they don't get married right away after graduating from high school. The two were loyal to each other and only got married when the name Bon Jovi was at its peak, namely in 1989. This choice was not easy, you know for Dorothea. She realized that her husband was being loved by lovers. There is not a day without fans coming to Bon Jovi, especially during concerts. With that fact, Dorothea seemed to be still happy.
As reported by PEOPLE, Dorothea had an answer when she was asked if there was any jealousy when Bon Jovi was surrounded by female fans. That must be difficult for a wife. But believe it or not, Dorothea actually felt happy to see these female fans at the Bon Jovi concert.
"I think it's very nice to know they like music. They like Bon Jovi and are very loyal," he said.
Behind the success of his career, it turns out that another surprising fact was revealed by this 54-year-old man. "I'm not a playboy," said Jon. "I also know some people out there are proud to be junkies (drug users). But not for me," he continued.
Despite his skyrocketing popularity at this time, Jon actually showed his family that family is his priority. Although he also did not deny that his love for fans is also so great. "I often leave my family to work," he said.
His commitment to putting family first has made Bon Jovi often talked about in their married life. In fact, he is often identified with the rock star with the longest marriage. It is undeniable that the life of a rock singer often ends in divorce or a broken home. "Sometimes I get the nickname the rock star with the longest marriage. But I'll accept what people say because I'm happy," admits Jon.
The father of four children, Stepahine (23), Jesse (21), Jacob (14) and Romeo (12) is also known to love his family. It was revealed from Dorothea's statement how she and Bon Jovi focused as much as possible on always having time for their children. "We try to enjoy dinner together. For us, family is a priority," said the woman who is the same age as her husband.
It was proven that in 2012 there was a bad incident for the Bon Jovi family when their child, Stephanie, had to be rushed to the hospital after consuming Opioids. "This often happens in every family and you may not know it. We also experience it," said Dorothea.
