“I don’t know. I don’t know. She’s got herself a little boy and a little girl, so I’m sure she’ll be just as excited as everyone else about her new life and all of the new things that are happening,” Bon Jovi said.
Jacob Hurley Bongiovi didn’t need any reassurance that young love can last. Jon Bon Jovi met Jacob’s mom, Dorothea Bongiovi — when they were 18. According to People, they started dating in high school in 1980. However, Bon Jovi was focused on his music career, so they waited until 1989 to get married.
Per All Music, Bon Jovi hit the big time in 1986 with “Slippery When Wet.” He cemented his place in pop-metal history with its 1988 follow-up “New Jersey.” So, Bon Jovi was a bonafide star when he chose wedded bliss and four kids over sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. And, unlike most other celebs who got hitched young and then ditched the wife for a newer model, Bon Jovi has never wavered from Dorothea’s side.
To mark 40 years together and 31 years of marriage, the couple opened up to People about the secret to their successful relationship. ″Mutual respect,″ Bon Jovi said. ″Having grown up together and grown together. And we really like each other. We want to hang out.″ He credited Dorothea for helping him stay true to his roots and not allowing fame to go to his head. “We enjoy each other, and we never fell for the trappings of what celebrity can do,″ he said. ″We’ve witnessed that happen over the years to people that were close to us.”
So, what does Bon Jovi think about his future daughter-in-law, Millie Bobby Brown?
