Jon Bon Jovi Seeks Grandparenting Advice and Announces Ireland Tour 2026
Jon Bon Jovi seeks advice on grandparenting as his son Jake Bon Jovi and daughter-in-law Millie Bobby Brown recently adopted a baby girl. This marks Jon's second grandchild, as his son Jesse Bon Jovi welcomed a baby girl earlier this month. Jon reached out to expert Philippa Perry for guidance on when to offer parenting advice and when to step back, emphasizing the importance of respecting his children's parenting journey.
Philippa Perry advised Jon to provide advice only when asked and to otherwise refrain from interfering. Jon shared that the best advice he received was to know when to hold back on giving advice, acknowledging that each parent finds their own way. He expressed excitement about witnessing his children embrace parenthood and welcoming grandchildren into their lives.
Bon Jovi is set to return to Ireland in 2026 as part of their world tour, with a show scheduled at Croke Park on August 30, 2026.
