Misconceptions Of The Rockstar Wife Life

By Marissa Velazquez


The rockstar wife life is a life full of glamour, exclusive parties, and a lot more than meets the eye. Often time the media depicts a false reality of what their lives are like without the cameras when their rocker husbands have to travel away from home. Aside from the fame and the money, they are human and deal with real issues like regular people only their are more eyes watching them as life unfolds.

To understand the lives of these rocker wives you have to first understand the lives of their husbands. Often times musicians have a very demanding schedule that requires constant travel and a great deal of absence away from their home and the people they love. The biggest temptation for musicians is the countless number of women, also referred to as groupies, that constantly throw themselves at vulnerable musicians.

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.

One of the largest downfalls to the rockstar wife life is the time and distance spent apart. Part of being a rocker is having to perform, show up at events, walk red carpets, and do various types of interviews which often means long days and even longer nights. Distance along with infidelity are some of the reasons rocker marriages tend to fail.

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.

One of the downsides to the rockstar wife life is the time apart. It's much easier to spend on the road with your rocker spouse when there are no children involved, but over the road travel can get difficult when trying to accommodate for an entire family. Some rockers do make it work so that their family can travel with them, but it is often for a short period of time.

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.

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.
