Jon and Dorothea were separated for only 8 or 9 months total. It wasn't because of Diane Lane. Diane was Jon's rebound relationship and she knows that. She's commented in interviews that he was still in love with someone else and even though they tried, it never would have worked out. Diane also said she wound up embarrassing Jon a lot because she was trying to play the part of what she thought a rock star's girlfriend should be and he didn't want that--he wanted someone real. She said she made an idiot of herself drinking too much and even baked cookies for the band when they did Farm Aid in '85. She said there was entirely too much miscommunication, but they didn't split harshly.
