Jon Bon Jovi hints at dalliances with '100 girls' during 35-year marriage with Dorothea Hurley
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jon Bon Jovi implied he might have cheated on his wife Dorothea Hurley with a hundred women.
The rock legend recently confessed about his alleged dalliances outside his 35 years of marriage on the ABC special, ‘Michael Strahan x Jon Bon Jovi: Halfway There’.
The 62-year-old musician who was considered “a sex symbol” in his youth, reflected on his 35 years of marriage with high-school sweetheart Hurley.

The ‘Always’ singer, who recently admitted he was never a saint in his long marriage, recalled the dalliances and admitted he “got away with murder," per Daily Mail.
Strahan contemplated during the interview, “It had to be tough on a relationship.” he further addressed the ‘Runaway’ singer saying “You're young,” and termed him “a sex symbol.”
“I got away with murder,” said the singer before explaining, “I'm a rock and roll star. I'm not a saint. I'm not saying that there weren't 100 girls in my life. I'm Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good!”
However, he also admitted that he wasn’t a “narcissist” enough to destroy his solid relationship.
Jovi shared, “But if you think I'm ever going to jeopardize my anything for believing the narcissist in me was real? 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.”
Jon Bon Jovi admitted he has not always been saint
Bon Jovi’s relationship with his wife came under intense scrutiny after the ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ singer admitted during an interview with The Independent last week that he has not always “been a saint” in his marriage to his wife.
He said in his interview with the outlet, “These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom,” before adding, “'It's about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to [mess] up the home life, either.”
However, he admitted that his marriage lasted largely because of tolerance in Hurley’s part and “mutual admiration society, and being lucky enough to have grown up together.”
The rocker met his future wife in 1980 when they were both attending the Sayreville War Memorial High School in New Jersey.
Nevertheless, they broke up in 1985, soon to be reconciled again. In the meantime, Bon Jovi also dated actress Diane Lane, per the New York Post.
Bon Jovi and Hurley reconciled and eloped in 1989 when they tied the knot in the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas. The couple went on to share four children - Stephanie, 30; Jesse, 28; Jake, 21; and Romeo, 19.
Though the couple has just celebrated their milestone anniversary on April 29, Hurley wasn’t present there during the screening of Bon Jovi’s documentary series ‘Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story’ last week.
It has been reported that she was down with COVID, with the rocker’s representative clarifying to Page Six on Saturday, “As of this morning, she’s feeling well and recovered.”
The singer previously regretted his past affairs in his 1993 classic ‘Bed of Roses’ where he sang, "Now as you close your eyes / Know I’ll be thinking about you / While my mistress she calls me / To stand in her spotlight again / Tonight I won’t be alone / But you know that don’t mean I’m not lonely / I’ve got nothing to prove / For it’s you that I’d die to defend."
During his interview with Best Life magazine in 2007, "I don’t look at this week’s hot starlet and think about trading in or trading up.”
He continued, "I don’t have a mistress on the side or another family across town. You’re never going to read that story about me. I have no regard for that whole lifestyle."
"I've been in one of the biggest rock bands in the world for 25 years, and I'm not a saint, and I have not been a saint," per Daily Mail.
He continued, "It's not like Dorothea came in halfway through the movie and didn't know who she got.”
