Jon Bon Jovi stopped by this beachside Florida spot. Check out the rocker’s hat, Miami

Well, look who popped on by. Again.

Jon Bon Jovi visited waterfront restaurant Benny’s on the Beach in Lake Worth, Florida, last week and the staff seemed pretty thrilled.

The ‘80s rocker, 60, posed with four employees of the fast casual eatery on Instagram, saying that he had been in before.

“Today we welcomed back Rock and Roll legend JON BON JOVI. Thank you for stopping by. We look forward to hosting you again!”

We checked, because that is kind of what we do for a living, and we see that the “It’s My Life” crooner graced these folks with his presence back in 2017, too.

The seafood-centric eatery (where celeb chef Gordon Ramsay enjoyed some pie after attending Romeo Beckham’s wedding to Nicola Peltz last spring) also added the hashtag #whereeverydayisavacation.

Yes, when you live in South Florida, most days (aside from hurricane season) can feel like a vacation, at least weather-wise. If you have a full time job slaving over a laptop from 9 to 5, not so much.

But we digress. Bon Jovi smartly made the move south back in 2018, plunking down $10 million for a sweet, Mediterranean style Palm Beach mansion, then flipping it for a profit to purchase an even nicer place nearby for $43 million in 2020.

So yes, the music star has been living on a prayer, among us, at least part time, for years.

The diehard New Jerseyite also has a delish rose wine called Hampton Water that he brought to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami Beach five years ago.

Seems he likes us, really likes us. We couldn’t help but notice in the recent photo that the still-baby faced (though totally gray) hitmaker was wearing a University of Miami cap.

A few commenters under the post spotted that, too.

“I’s All About The U,” wrote one. “Jon Bon Jovi got the right hat on.”

The musician’s connection to the school in Coral Gables is unclear, but his youngest child, Romeo (with wife Dorothea) just turned 18. Hmmm.

The study, which was seen by Reuters ahead of its release on Friday, showed that unemployment will rise to an average of just under 2.8 million this year, the highest level since 2015.
