While Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley might not be the first couple you think of when thinking of Hollywood power couples, after all, they’ve been quite private over the years, their 35+ marriage is something many of us only dream of. After getting hitched in 1989, the pair have inspired us with their unwavering love for each other and their kids (Stephanie, 30, Jesse, 29, Jake, 21, and Romeo, 20).
Talking to People back in 2020, the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer revealed the secrets to their decades-long relationship.
“Mutual respect,” he said. “Having grown up together and grown together. And we really like each other. We want to hang out.”
He also went on to remember his first impression of Hurley when they met as only teenagers back in the ’80s. “I was immediately drawn to her from the minute I saw her — and that’s never changed — 40 years ago,” he said. Talk about love at first sight!
In honor of the release of Bon Jovi’s documentary, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, check out some of our favorite pictures of the couple over the years below!
