The parents of four will certainly stay busy. The high school sweethearts (yes!) split their time between their home state of New Jersey, the Hamptons and Palm Beach, where they moved part-time in 2018. In July 2020, the pair purchased a $43 million beachfront home on the same day they sold their original place nearby for roughly $20 million.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Beside being empty-nesters, Hurley, 63, and Bon Jovi, 64, are newish grandparents.

Their eldest son, 31-year-old wine entrepreneur Jesse, welcomed a daughter with his influencer wife Jesse Light this past November.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>And, as anyone who has followed the \u201cLivin\u2019 on a Prayer\u201d singer for decades knows, Bon Jovi doesn\u2019t stay idle long, despite a nagging health issue. This summer, Bon Jovi and his beloved namesake band will head out on the 2026 Forever\u2019 Tour, marking their return to live performances after the star\u2019s vocal cord surgery in 2022. Things will kick off at Madison Square Garden in New York City with a four-night residency July 7, then move on to three stadium shows in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=408\">Weather alert: Will it rain all week?
