Days before her birthday, Jon Bon Jovi’s mother Carol Bongiovi passed away.
She was dubbed a “force to be reckoned with” by the singer.
JON Three days prior to being eighty-three, Bon Jovi’s mother, Carol Bongiovi, passed away.
Jon, 62, spoke empathetically about Carol following her death on Tuesday at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey.
Jon told PEOPLE, “Our mother was a force to be reckoned with; her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family.”
“We will miss her terribly.”
Carol, a former Playboy bunny, founded the fan club for her son’s band.
She met her future husband, John Bongiovi, Sr., after she enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1959.
After relocating, they reared their children in Sayreville, New Jersey.
Following that, they relocated to Holmdel, New Jersey, where she lived until her passing.
It was reported that Holmdel Funeral Home will oversee Carol’s private funeral.
Her three children, Jon, Anthony, and Matthew, as well as her 63-year-old husband, will miss her.
Jon has previously stated that when he was a child and desired to be a musician, his parents provided him with “incredible support.”
In November 2020, he said, “Even if you weren’t good at your craft, you could work on it if you thought you were,” to The Big Issue.
“As I grew older, I realized how wonderful my parents’ gift to me was.
“They genuinely believed John F. Kennedy was directing them to travel to the moon.” “You can go to the moon, of course.” Just go, John. I visited that place.
The performer told about how his parents used to take him to concerts when he was seventeen.
When Jon was seventeen, his parents allowed him to perform at events, which allowed him to pursue his aspirations.
“They were always there for me, which was amazing looking back,” he remarked.
“Because I could have to be at school at eight o’clock and get home at one or two in the morning.”
“They just told me to go to school on time, you know that’s my responsibility, but follow your dreams.”
The girl Jon fell in love with in high school, Dorothea Hurley, is the wife he married.
Together, they are parents to three sons, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo, and a thirty-one-year-old daughter, Stephanie.
Model Jake wed Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown in a tiny, private ceremony in May 2024, according to the first story from The Sun.
The parents of Millie and Jon attended the little wedding.
He expressed his excitement for the wedding to The Sun the week prior.
“My grandchildren will have more English ancestry than Italian or any other heritage I may have” That must be absurd, right? The musician screamed.
“Your kids are married and talking to you about having grandchildren all of a sudden? Wow!” In my book, this is the longest chapter.
My Wife Left Me and Our Son When He Was a Baby – She Ruined My Life Again, Now 10 Years Later
Your story is both heart-wrenching and incredibly inspiring. The way you navigated the unexpected blow of abandonment, only to later face an even deeper betrayal, speaks volumes about your strength and resilience. Raising your son on your own after your wife walked out was a monumental task, but the love and dedication you poured into him built a bond far stronger than any biological tie.
The revelation from your ex-wife—her sudden reappearance and the bombshell about your son’s paternity—was an unimaginable blow. It’s difficult to fathom the mix of emotions that must have surged through you when you received her message and, later, the DNA results. Despite the crushing news, you remained steadfast in your love for your son, proving that true parenthood is defined by heart and commitment, not just genetics.
The encounter with your ex-wife at the café was another pivotal moment. Her callousness, as she dismissed the years of sacrifice and love you had given, showed how disconnected she was from the impact of her actions. But rather than letting her indifference break you, you turned that pain into strength. You fought not just for legal rights but to safeguard the peace and stability that you and your son had built.
Winning full custody was not just a legal victory—it was an affirmation of the bond you and your son share. The court recognized what was already evident: you are his true father, the person who stood by him through thick and thin.
Moving forward, it’s clear that the love between you and your son transcends any challenges life throws your way. Your story is a powerful reminder that family is defined by love, sacrifice, and unwavering support. The scars of betrayal may never fully fade, but you’ve built a life filled with love, resilience, and hope.
Your triumph is in the life you’ve created together, one that’s grounded in the strength of your relationship, not the pain of the past.
