The Grammy Award-winning Bon Jovi frontman said the relationship between Bongiovi, 21, and Brown, 20, was reminiscent of his own love story with his high school sweetheart and wife of over 30 years, Dorothea Hurley.

“It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago,” he said of the young couple’s engagement. “I think, with the support of family around them, they’re gonna be great together.”

Brown and Bongiovi became engaged in April 2023.

Bon Jovi spoke highly of his future daughter-in-law, complimenting her work ethic. “I’ve gotten to know her in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way,” he said.

“We’re from the same place, we’re the same age, and she was with me when I had less than zero, so we went on the journey together,” the “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer said.

Bon Jovi also speculated on the future of his music career following a 2022 throat surgery that left his vocal health in doubt.
