All About Jon Bon Jovi’s 21-Year-Old Son Jake Bongiovi

Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Bongiovi welcomed their third child and second son, Jacob “Jake” Bongiovi, on May 7, 2002. Jake joined his older siblings Stephanie and Jesse, and was the youngest in the family for two years until the birth of his little brother Romeo in 2004.

Jake and his siblings largely grew up out of the public eye — an intentional decision made by their famous dad, as Bon Jovi explained to The Guardian in 2021.

Jake and his siblings largely grew up out of the public eye — an intentional decision made by their famous dad, as Bon Jovi explained to The Guardian in 2021.
