Living 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.

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.

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 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.

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.
