Jon Bon Jovi didn’t just mention that he’d been honest with Dorothea Hurley about his, ahem, lapses in judgment. In the same interview, he also told The Independent that none of his indiscretions had been bad enough to destroy their decades-long marriage. We’re not exactly sure what that means, except that it once again points to Hurley being an exceptionally understanding woman.
Of course, there is a chance Bon Jovi’s indiscretions really weren’t full-blown affairs or much to write home about. After all, in a 2010 interview with Men’s Health, he spoke about being pretty averse to the idea of side chicks and affairs. “I don’t look at this week’s hot starlet and think about trading in or trading up. 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,” he told the outlet.
Granted, in the same interview, Bon Jovi once again pointed out that he didn’t always have the greatest track record. “I’m not a saint, and I have not been a saint,” he confessed. However, he added that Hurley was well aware of that, and that she had been from the get-go. However, she still chose to stand by him.
