Pink Locked Herself Away for a Week After Learning Jon Bon Jovi Was Married—Here’s Why

Every superstar has a story about the idol who first captured their heart, but for Pink, that story is as funny as it is endearing. Long before she was commanding arenas with powerhouse vocals and jaw-dropping aerial performances, Alecia Beth Moore better known to the world as Pink was just a little girl with a huge crush on Jon Bon Jovi.

In a candid confession, Pink admitted that she once had a poster of the rock legend plastered proudly on her bedroom wall. Like millions of fans in the late ’80s and early ’90s, she dreamed about one day marrying him. But her fairytale came crashing down in the most unexpected way: when she discovered that Jon Bon Jovi had gotten married to his high-school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley.

“I was eight years old when I found out,” Pink once revealed. “I ripped his poster off the wall, locked myself in my room, and cried for a week.”

That raw childhood heartbreak might have been the end of the story—but life had a cheeky twist in store. Years later, Jon Bon Jovi heard about Pink’s childhood confession. Rather than brushing it off, he responded in a way only a rock star with a sense of humor could. He sent her a massive bouquet of flowers and a pair of leather pants with a note that read:

“Now you can finally get in my pants.”

The gesture was so outrageous and funny that it not only healed the sting of her childhood heartbreak but also laid the foundation for a genuine friendship between the two artists.

Fast forward to 2021, and that story came full circle in front of the world. At the Billboard Music Awards, it was Jon Bon Jovi himself who took the stage to present Pink with the prestigious Icon Award. With heartfelt words, he praised her as one of music’s most fearless performers:

“She had it all talent, energy, a message in her songs, and a stage presence that only the greats have.”

Pink, never one to miss a chance for humor, seized the moment to bring up her decades-old “heartbreak.” Looking straight at her former crush, she quipped:

“I’m very glad you found lasting love, Jon, but you broke my heart—I take this as an apology. I accept.”

The audience roared with laughter and applause, not just for the joke but for the authenticity of the moment. What started as a childhood crush turned heartbreak has blossomed into a friendship rooted in mutual admiration, playfulness, and respect.

For fans, it was more than just a funny anecdote. It was proof that even global icons like Pink had once been vulnerable little kids with posters on their walls and that sometimes, life has a way of turning those childhood dreams into unforgettable, real-life moments.
