Misconceptions Of 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.

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.

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 rockstar wife life is often full of time apart of their spouse, but this also depends on whether their rocker husband is still active in the music industry or retired. If the rocker actively performs and travels away from home relationships become tense if there isn't an understanding of monogamy and trust within the relationship. Often time the distance and time apart along with infidelity is what jeopardizes the marriage the most.

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.

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.

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.
