They were born to be his babies.
When he’s not rocking out on stage, Jon Bon Jovi is the proud father of four children with his wife, Dorothea Hurley.
The high school sweethearts started growing their family in 1993, four years after they eloped in Las Vegas.

After daughter Stephanie’s birth, the couple went on to welcome three sons — Jesse, Jake and Romeo.
Bon Jovi, who has admitted to not being a “saint” in his marriage and getting “away with murder,” raised the foursome with Hurley in New Jersey.
Now, Pvnew is breaking down the Grammy winner’s big brood below.
Stephanie Rose Bongiovi
Bon Jovi and Hurley became parents in May 1993 when daughter Stephanie arrived — and the songwriter released “I’ve Got the Girl” about her seven years later.
In 2012, Stephanie overdosed, with Bon Jovi later calling her hospitalization a “terrible speed bump” in a People interview.
“There was no need to be any closer to our kids,” he said in 2016. “We couldn’t get any closer.”
Hurley chimed in, “It happens to a lot of families that you would never know. … we dealt with it as a family.”
Stephanie, who mostly remains out of the spotlight, sparked engagement rumors in February 2024 when Bon Jovi said he wrote a song called “Kiss the Bride” for her.
Two months later, he confirmed to “This Morning” show viewers that his eldest child was “getting married” but did not reveal her partner’s name.
Jesse Bongiovi
Jesse joined the family in February 1995.
After Bon Jovi and Hurley’s eldest son graduated from the University of Notre Dame, he launched the Hamptons Water rosé company with his dad.
Jesse got engaged to fiancé Jesse Light in 2022, marrying her two years later at the same Sin City chapel where his parents tied the knot.
Jacob “Jake” Hurley Bongiovi
Bon Jovi and Hurley welcomed baby No. 3, son Jake, in May 2002.
Jake, who began attending Syracuse University in 2020, has made headlines in recent years for his relationship with “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown.
The duo began dating in 2021 after meeting on Instagram.
Jake got down on one knee in 2023, secretly marrying the actress the following year in a “small, family” ceremony.
Bon Jovi confirmed the nuptials to “The One Show” viewers in May 2024, gushing that the bride was “gorgeous” and his son was “happy as could be.”
The newlyweds seemingly honeymooned in Florida, posting Instagram pictures from a Universal Studios trip.
Romeo Jon Bongiovi
The rocker’s youngest son, Romeo, was born in March 2004 and keeps out of the public eye.
However, he made an appearance on Bon Jovi’s Instagram account in 2021 when the musician celebrated Romeo’s 17th year.
The birthday boy wore a Nirvana tee in the rare photo.
