Jon Bon Jovi’s Son

Despite Millie Bobby Brown’s fame, Jake Bongiovi is no stranger to the spotlight. As the son of iconic rock star Jon Bon Jovi, Jake has rock and roll in his blood. The resemblance between Jake and his father during his younger days is striking. Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, have been married since 1989 and have four children together. Jake is the third-oldest among his siblings, Stephanie Rose, Jesse, and Romeo.

Jake has already shown a passion for activism during his high school years. He organized a school walkout to raise awareness about the issue of school shootings. His dedication to making a difference is admirable. After high school, Jake attended Syracuse University but did not return for his sophomore year. It appears that Jake has chosen a different path for his career.

Aspiring Actor

While Jake is often associated with his father’s music legacy, he has his own aspirations in the world of acting. Although he has yet to make his debut, he already has two projects in the works. Jake was cast in the HBO Max feature Sweethearts, which wrapped production in August 2022. He was also cast in the comedy Rockbottom, a film about a hair metal band, where he will play the character of Justin, the potential new lead singer.
