Truth Behind The Rockstar Wife Life

By Marissa Velazquez


Living the rockstar wife life is often misconceived as glamorous and unattainable. Many people are interested to know exactly how this distinct group of wives live their lives and whether or not it compares to things they show in the movies and on television. Wealth, fame, and glamour are often placed on a pedestal, but the reality of those things is that they too are human, face problems daily and just so happen to have a little more than the average person.

Before you can understand the rockstar wife life you have to understand the life of their rockstar musician husband. One of the downfalls to being a popular musician is the high demand for travel. Although many of the wives may have met their husbands while they were touring, its a hard concept to grasp unless you are actually involved. One of the negative aspects of being a musicians spouse are the constant temptation of women constantly being thrown your way.

If based on depictions in the media, the modern rocker wife is often a frequent customer on the plastic surgery table, tall, blonde, and as much of a party addict as their rocker husbands. Media misconceptions often only capture a small percentage of the rocker spouse population. Reality television shows have given us a peek into what their lives are actually like with a little unpredictable chaos added to the mix for ratings.

The time spent apart from their rocker spouse often depends on the status of their spouse. If their rocker husband is retired and only does shows and appearances ever so often, there is less time spent apart. But, if their rocker husbands are anywhere near the peak of their career that means constant travel which can be anywhere from days to months apart from each other.

If the marriage happens to be childless, circumstances drastically change. Often times wives can be found on the road traveling with their husbands or traveling out to events, concerts, and various venues where they mix and mingle with celebrities and other wealthy people. Rocker wives have to be willing to enjoy both the perks and downfalls of a rocker marriage like the inability to schedule plans in advance due to their husbands busy lifestyle.

When there are children involoved it becomes much more difficult to uproot a family to go on tour. Children often mean there is an anchor to home for stability in school and for social reasons. This makes it a little harder to get the entire family on tour, but some rockers are willing to accommodate. Accommodations are often temporary as school and other things can draw a family back home away from the tour.

More times than not unfortunately the rockstar wife life is temporary as many of the marriages don't last long for various reasons. But, there are exceptions to the rule like Jon Bon Jovi who has been married to his high school sweetheart over 20 years.

We've seen rocker couples that last and we've seen others where a wife is a dime a dozen, but the most we can learn through the rockstar wife life is that a strong foundation is absolutely necessary to create a sound marriage that lasts.
