This is a love song.
Jon Bon Jovi commemorated his 36th wedding anniversary with his “amazing” wife, Dorothea Hurley, on Tuesday after confessing to cheating on her in the past.
The “It’s My Life” singer took to social media to show off the “36 roses” he got his wife “for 36 amazing years.”
“Happy anniversary my love….,” he captioned the post.
Along with a snap of the red roses, he also included a throwback photo of them at the beginning of their marriage, and another of the Graceland Wedding Chapel sign that name-dropped the singer for getting married there in 1989.
The rocker — whose real name is John Francis Bongiovi Jr. — shared the same photo of him and his wife for Valentine’s Day earlier this year.
“To my forever valentine,” he captioned it at the time. “I luv [sic] you !!!”
His most recent proclamations of love come a year after he admitted that he stepped out on his wife multiple times.
“These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom,” he told The Independent in an April 2024 interview. “It’s about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to f–k up the home life, either.”
Shortly after, the 63-year-old songwriter also confessed to getting “away with murder” because he had over “100 girls in [his] life.”
“I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star; I’m not a saint,” he told Michael Strahan. “I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good.”
“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 excesses does a man need that’s going to fuel that fire? It’s just not worth it.”
The Grammy winner went on to praise Hurley, 62, for not being “afraid to call [him] out on something.”
However, he added, “She’s also there when I fall. And I’m there for her when she falls. No matter where I went in my career, the ups or the downs, we went there together.”
The “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer began dating Hurley in 1980, four years before he released his first album.
Although they briefly broke up in 1985, they went on to get married four years later.
Throughout their marriage, they welcomed daughter Stephanie, 31, and sons Jesse, 30, Jake, 22, and Romeo, 21.
