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.

Essentially to understand the life of a rockstar wife you have to first understand what a rockstar is. A rockstar is a popular music that spends more time performing, traveling around the world and recording music than they do at home. They are public figures that have gained popularity through the music they share with their fans. They are majorly men and often have to deal with the temptation of women, also known as groupies, throwing themselves at them.

The media often portrays rockstar wives as tall, blonde, bombshells with surgery enhanced body parts who were once groupies themselves. This portrayal of rocker wives is only a small segment of the population. Often times these are the kind of spouses you find on the various rocker wives reality television shows, but their lives are usually taken out of context 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.

On the upside of things, often times wives get to accompany their husbands on the road for some periods of time. They also enjoy the opportunity to accompany their husbands at various events rubbing elbows with other celebrities and wealthy people. This same perk also works as a downfall because it makes finalizing plans very difficult to do with an unstable schedule that constantly changes.

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.

For one reason or another, many rocker marriages end with a divorce instead of a happily ever after. As an exception to the divorce rule, rocker Jon Bon Jovi has somehow become the poster boy for rocker marriages having been married to his high school sweetheart over 20 years.

Living the rockstar wife is full of glamour, exclusive events, spousal absence, and societal pitfalls. Although we place high profile relationships on a pedestal, often times there is more than meets the eye to the rocker spouse life.
