Jon Bon Jovi got married at the peak of his career
In a conversation with Lewis Howes on the podcast, Bon Jovi answered how he managed to continue with his marriage while at the peak of his career. Howes asked the musician, “When you’re coming off stage in front of 80,000 people, and you’re ‘the man,’ and you’re selling out the biggest tour in history back to back, and then you go home, and someone’s upset at you… how do you get over your ego of being Jon Bon Jovi?”
The music legend revealed, “It might take a minute to walk it off when you’re on the road for a long time, especially in those younger years when we would be on the road for so long that you could carry the lifestyle home. But I haven’t even seen that guy in a long time, so it’s of no interest to me to even see that guy.”
Bon Jovi shared that he and Hurley took one step at a time to ensure that their marriage remained intact despite all ups and downs.
