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.

A lot of us may have seen a glimpse of what a rockstar wife life is like based on the number of reality shows out there, but this is just a small percentage of the marriages and often don't give you the full picture. Also we've seen relationships rise and crumble on the cover of magazines for multiple rockers.

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.

The amount of time spend apart depends on if there are children in the picture. It is much easier to spend time on the road soaking up the rocker wife life when you don't have to worry about children. Often times wives will travel with their husbands until they get pregnant. The rocker wife life is full of amazing perks like celebrity events, private box seats at concerts and sporting events, exclusive clothing and parties, but it also includes not so fun parts like the inability to make plans in advance.

When it comes to distance and time apart, a road trip away from home can last for a few days up to months. When children are involved picking up and following around a rocker is not only challenging, its almost impossible to keep up for moths on tour. But, the lifestyle can also be accommodating when necessary. For example, some rockers that agree to comeback style tours refuse to travel without their families.

Despite what we are shown in the media, rocker marriages often end in divorce more than they do happily ever after. One exception to this is the marriage between Jon Bon Jovi who has inevitably become a poster boy for rocker marriage to his high school sweetheart.

Putting aside the glamour, events, red carpets, and fame that come with the rockstar wife life things are not always as they appear. The high profile pedestal we often place them on is often accompanied by various pitfalls like spousal absence.
