Jon Bon Jovi’s Family Guide: Wife Dorothea, 4 Kids, Daughter-in-Law Mille Bobby Brown and More

Jon Bon Jovi might be one of the world’s biggest rock stars, but perhaps his biggest role is being a father to his and wife Dorothea Hurley’s four kids.

The musician (real name John Bongiovi) married his high school sweetheart in 1989, which he told Men’s Health in 2010 was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Coming off a No. 1 album and single, as well as three sold-out shows at the Forum in Los Angeles, Bon Jovi proposed they tie the knot in Las Vegas. “‘Come on. What’s better than this, right now, this moment?’” he recalled asking Hurley at the time.

Four years later, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Stephanie, in May 1993. Their first son, Jesse, was born two years later, followed by sons Jake and Romeo, in 2002 and 2004, respectively.

Over the years, the Bongiovi clan has continued to grow as the singer’s children have found their own life partners.
