6 april 2025 в 19:13
Jon Bon Jovi, real name John Francis Bongiovi Jr., needs no introduction. But here’s a brief one: a rocker, singer, songwriter, philanthropist, and actor, best known as the frontman of the famous rock band Bon Jovi, founded in 1983. While the musician is most respected for his performance of «Livin' On a Prayer» and appearances in films such as «Young Guns II», - Jon Bon Jovi also has two other notable roles: husband and father of four incredible children!
The musician has been married to his wife Dorothea Hurley, a restaurateur and karate instructor, since 1989. Together they raise four children: Jacob Hurley, Stephanie Rose, Jesse, and Romeo John. In an interview with People in October 2021, Jon Bon Jovi and his wife shared that they spent quarantine with all four children during the pandemic, giving a sweet glimpse into their close-knit family.
«For about a month, our whole family was together. Then the older kids finally said, 'We're out' and ran away», - he joked. Dorothea added, «Our priority has always been family and the belief that people feel good. We love each other. We spent a lot of time together, more than in many years, but it was nice».
Their third son Jake recently got engaged to actress Millie Bobby Brown. The star of «Stranger Things» announced their engagement in a sweet Instagram post on April 11, 2023. She quoted Taylor Swift’s song «Lover» in the caption of a photo where he holds her hands with a diamond ring on her engagement finger. «I've loved you for three summers, darling, I want them all», - she wrote. Here’s everything you need to know about the four long-lived children.
Jake, usually called Jake, is one of Jon Bon Jovi’s three sons — and his striking resemblance to his famous father cannot be denied. Jake is studying at Syracuse University in New York. In 2018, Jake caught the media’s attention by organizing a national student strike against the government’s response to mass school shootings (or lack thereof) following the Parkland, Florida shooting in February of that year. The teenager last caught the media’s attention in June 2021 with his relationship with Millie Bobby Brown.
After rumors surfaced, the couple eventually confirmed their relationship with multiple hugging photos on Instagram. The couple often expresses their love for each other on social media. Jake also accompanied Millie on red carpets, such as the premiere of «Stranger Things», - and was seen with her on the set of various projects. When the couple announced their engagement, Jake also shared a couple of photos of them both by the water with a caption that simply read «Forever».
Stephanie is Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea’s only daughter. She works as a camera operator in television. According to her IMDb, Stephanie worked on truTV and Comedy Central series «Impractical Jokers». Stephanie has overcome many obstacles. During her college years in 2012, she was arrested on drug charges after a suspicious heroin overdose. The charges were eventually dropped, and Jon Bon Jovi addressed the incident shortly thereafter, calling it «human». According to the Los Angeles Times, the musician told Fox 11, «It's human», - later adding, «This tragedy was something I had to deal with too, so we’ll get through it. And the warm wishes from people to my family and me were really comforting. So we’re okay».
Jesse is one of Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea’s three sons. The businessman-rocker's son runs the Hampton Water Wine Co. company and is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. (According to his LinkedIn, he studied political science and government.)
Jesse is dedicated to the Hampton Water Wine Co. company, a rosé brand he founded with his famous father in 2017. In an interview with Thrive Global last April, Jesse talked about the inspiration behind the rosé.
«We wanted Hampton Water to challenge the norms of the rosé market and…
