Who is Jon Bon Jovi’s wife and high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley – and why didn’t she go to his docu premiere? The karate instructor married the rock star in 1989, and they have 4 kids together
Jon Bon Jovi’s wife of nearly four decades, Dorothea Hurley, skipped his documentary screening last Thursday after the rock star made some shocking claims about his marriage, according to US media.
But she actually had a valid reason – and it’s not as scandalous as you may have thought. Per US media, Hurley skipped her hubby’s Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story premiere because she recently contracted Covid-19, and was therefore quarantining at home.
Earlier this month, Bon Jovi opened up about his long-time marriage in an interview with Independent. He credited their success to “a mutual admiration society, and being lucky enough to have grown up together”, while noting that his wife has had a lot of tolerance. His 1993 song “Bed of Roses” is speculated to reference his infidelity on the road, adds the source.
