Yesh, Jon Bon Jovi may be living on a prayer after these remarks.
The Bon Jovi frontman took a walk down memory lane during an interview with Michael Strahan during ABCs Halfway There special Monday.
During the interview, the two spoke about Bon Jovis marriage to wife Dorothea Hurley, whom the rock star began dating in high school and married in 1989.
When Strahan asked Bon Jovi about getting married so young and how stressful it must have been as a sex symbol, the Its My Life singer admitted: I got away with murder.
Im a rock n roll star. Im not a saint, he said a bit jokingly. Im not saying that there werent 100 girls in my life. Im Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good!
Although its unclear when these women were in Bon Jovis life, he also made it clear that he never did anything that would jeopardize his relationship with Hurley.
But if you think I was ever going to jeopardize anything for believing the narcissist in me was real? What a stupid thing to do. What kind of excess does a man need thats going to fuel that fire? Its just not worth it.
The Always singers remarks to Strahan follows a similar quote about Hurley and their marriage that Bon Jovi gave to the Independent last week.
These are all the wonderful clichs of rock stardom, he told the outlet. Its about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to f*** up the home life, either.
It should also be noted that Bon Jovi has been referring to himself as no saint for a long time, and what he means by that may not be as nefarious as it seems.
In 2007, he told Best Life magazine, via People :
Ive been in one of the biggest rock bands in the world for 25 years, and Im not a saint, and I have not been a saint, he said at the time. I missed tons of birthdays and school plays. But its not like Dorothea came in halfway through the movie and didnt know who she got.
Bon Jovi and Hurley met in a New Jersey high school in 1980, per People . They briefly split in 1985 in which the rocker began a five-month relationship with actor Diane Lane. Soon after, Bon Jovi and Hurley rekindled the flame and tied the knot during a secret Las Vegas ceremony in 1989. In 1993, Bon Jovi released the single Bed of Roses, which is about the singer regretting his dalliances on the road.
Bon Jovi and Hurley, who just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary, share four children Stephanie, 30; Jesse, 29; Jake, 21; and Romeo, 20.
