Before he was one of the world’s most famous rock stars as lead singer of Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi was winning the heart of his high school girlfriend and current wife, Dorothea Hurley. As far as rockstar couples go, the Bon Jovis have enjoyed a lengthy relationship and marriage, and the two are still as in love as when they first met.

Their relationship began in the hallways of Sayreville War Memorial High School in New Jersey, where both Bon Jovi and Hurley attended.

“She let me cheat off her in history,” Bon Jovi shared. “I was immediately drawn to her from the minute I saw her and that never changed.”

Their relationship evolved over the years and while the two briefly broke up in 1985—during which Bon Jovi had a short-lived relationship with actress Diane Lane— it wasn’t long before the pair reconciled, and the rest is history.

Four years later, his band, Bon Jovi, had already taken off and was achieving massive success. Meanwhile, the singer was all in with his soon-to-be wife and ready to exchange vows, the couple tying the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding.
