Jon Bon Jovi Says 1989 Marriage ‘Shocked Everyone’

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi said his decision to elope with his wife, Dorothea Hurley, more than three decades ago generated a strong reaction from people in his inner circle, and that it was not all good.

“It shocked a lot of people — shocked about everybody: the band, management, agents, lawyers, parents, you name it,” he told People magazine. “It’s a shame because it should have been a beautiful moment, but after we did it, people were trying to take it away, until I stood up and went, ‘Wait a minute, why are we living our life for anyone else?’ And 35 years later, we’re still married.”

The “Living on a Prayer” singer, 62, met his wife while they were students at Sayreville War Memorial High School in New Jersey. They dated until 1985, when they broke up for five months before reuniting and getting engaged. While on tour, Bon Jovi decided to marry Hurley.
