Jon Bon Jovi can’t seem to stop talking about all of the women he slept with during his marriage. The Bon Jovi frontman sent the media into a frenzy last week over remarks in which he admitted that he wasn’t a “saint” during his 35-year-marriage to his high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley, and now he’s seemingly doubled down on his comments.
The 62-year-old opened up about his marriage in what was likely a prerecorded interview with Michael Strahan for an ABC primetime special, Halfway There, that began streaming on Hulu Monday. “It had to be tough on a relationship,” Strahan said to the rocker. “You’re young—you’re a sex symbol.”
“That’s nonsense. I got away with murder,” Bon Jovi shot back. “I’m a rock and roll star. I’m not a saint. You know, I’m not saying that there weren’t 100 girls in my life. I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good.”
However, while he may have had his dalliances on the road, which he sung about in the band’s 1993 hit single “Bed of Roses,” Bon Jovi otherwise seemed to have the upmost respect for his marriage.
“But if you think I was ever going to jeopardize my … anything for believing the narcissist in me was real?” he continued. “What a stupid thing to do. What kind of excesses does a man need that’s going to fuel that fire? It’s just not worth it.”
“You said she’s the glue that holds everything together,” interjected Strahan.
“There was no doubt in my mind that this world revolves because of her,” Bon Jovi explained. “Because of what she did to keep the kids right, what she does to keep me right, what we do together to keep it right. No doubt abut it. She’s certainly not afraid to call me out on something, but she’s also there when I fall. And I’m there for her when she falls.”
“No matter what I did in my career, the ups and the downs, we did it together,” he added.
Last week, ahead of the release of his Hulu docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, Bon Jovi told The Independent: “These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom. It’s about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to f–k up the home life, either.”
After the admission triggered an avalanche of headlines, Hurley was absent from a New York screening of the docuseries, but it’s unclear whether that had anything to do with her husband’s remarks.
