Bon Jovi Baby No. 4

Jon Bon Jovi and his missus, Dorothea, give love a good name.

The Jersey high-school sweethearts, married since 1989, are expecting their fourth child, confirmed his label.


A due date was not released.

Proud parents-to-be already have a girl, Stephanie Rose (10), and two boys, Jesse James ( and Jacob Hurley (16 months).

When not changing diapers, the 40-year-old Bon Jovi (real name John Bongiovi) wears a variety of hats--singing with his eponymous band, acting and running his new Arena Football League expansion team, the Philadelphia Soul.

Just last week, the Garden State rocker and pigskin aficionado announced that he had purchased a stake in the AFL team, along with real-estate developer Craig Spenser and bandmate Richie Sambora.

But don't expect the boys to play come halftime. While Bon Jovi kicked off last year's NFL season with an all-star concert in Times Square, Jon will limit his performances to a TV promo spot and a one-off private concert/pep rally exclusively for Soul season ticket-holders before the league's four-month-long season launches in February.

In fact, the group plans to take some time off from touring so that frontman Jon, who most recently starred in John Carpenter's Vampires: Los Muertos last year, can focus on the Soul.

In the meantime, Bon Jovi will appease fans by delivering its latest offspring, This Left Feels Right, on November 4. The CD features acoustic versions and new instrumentations of the band's greatest hits, including "Born To Be My Baby," "Keep the Faith," "It's My Life" and "Wanted Dead or Alive," plus two new songs, "Last Man Standing" and "Thief of Hearts."
