Jon Bon Jovi has more to admit.
After making headlines for saying he was not a “saint” when marrying his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, the rock star admitted he had “got away with murder”.
Bon Jovi, 62, talk to Michael Strahan about his early days in the music industry during ABC’s “Halfway There” special on Monday, joking that he wasn’t “saying there weren’t 100 girls in [his] life” at the time.

“I’m a rock and roll star. I’m not a saint,” he said. “I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good.
“But if you think I was ever going to compromise … anything to believe that the narcissist in me was real? What a stupid thing to do. What kind of excess does a man need to fuel that fire? It’s not worth it.”
The Grammy winner praised Hurley, 61, for not being “afraid to call it quits [him] out for something.”

However, he said, “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 couple started dating in 1980, four years before Bon Jovi’s debut album was released.
The duo split briefly in 1985 before reuniting and finally eloping in Las Vegas in 1989.

Bon Jovi and the karate instructor share four children – Stephanie, 30, Jesse, 29, Jake, 21, and Romeo, 20 – with the third making headlines for his 2023 engagement to “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown.
While sharing marriage advice for the young couple with “Good morning America” audience Thursday, the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer said “every day is a challenge and a change.”
He encouraged Jake and Brown, 20, to focus on “growing together.”

Bon Jovi’s documentary, “Thank You Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” debuted on Hulu last week, with a New York City screening.
In particular, Hurley did not make it to the event.
The “You Give Love a Bad Name” coroner’s representative told Page Six that Hurley missed the screening due to a COVID-19 diagnosis but was “feeling good and recovering.”
