“When you’re in a band, you always say it’s like a family. But when you’re really working with your family, it’s totally different,” Jon Bon Jovi told PEOPLE of working with his son in 2018. “We walk into meetings together and I go, ‘Wow, it’s Mini-Me.’ He’s thinking the way I’m thinking. It’s been a dream… Jesse has always been very serious about everything he’s ever done.”
Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea are also parents to daughter Stephanie, 30, and sons Jake, 21, and Romeo, 20.
“Growing together is wise. I think that all of my kids have found people that they think they can grow together with and we like them all,” the singer said during a chat with Andy Cohen’s on Radio Andy in April.
The Grammy winner, recently recounted the couple’s love story in his new Hulu docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story (streaming now).
THEO WARGO/GETTY
“We were in Los Angeles, California, the band was on the road on the New Jersey tour, and if you opened up the curtains of my hotel room, there’s a big billboard of the five of us [Bon Jovi band members] staring into my window,” Bon Jovi recalls. “My girlfriend, who was my fiancée at the time, we had a night off, and I said, ‘I need a higher high — I got an idea. Let’s go to Vegas now.’ And she said, ‘Now?’ I said, ‘Now.’”
Once the news went public, “it shocked a lot of people — shocked about everybody: the band, management, agents, lawyers, parents, you name it,’” Bon Jovi recalls. “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.”
Looking back, “we got it right the first time,“ he said
