Ali Hewson Biography

Ali Hewson is one of the most popular and richest Entrepreneur who was born on March 23, 1961 in Ireland, Ireland. Wife of Bono, businesswoman, and activist who fought against child labor and also took up the banner for other human-rights causes.

She campaigned against the Sellafield nuclear facility, appealing to such leaders as Prime Minister Tony Blair to shut it down.

Alison Hewson (née Stewart; born 23 March 1961) is an Irish activist and businesswoman. She is the wife of singer and musician Paul Hewson, known as Bono, from the rock group U2.

Alison studied at Mount Temple Comprehensive School. At the age of twelve, she met Paul Hewson, who was in the year above at the school. He pursued her immediately, but she initially kept her distance, labelling him “an eejit” even though she secretly admired him. In September 1974, Paul’s mother Iris died suddenly, leaving him emotionally adrift and in conflict with his father and brother. Soon after, Alison began taking care of Paul: cleaning his clothes, walking to school with him, and cooking for him. In September 1976, Paul met the other members of what would become U2; the band members adopted nicknames, and Paul soon became known as Bono. At around the same time, he and Ali, as she was known, began dating, and soon became a steady couple. It took Stewart a while to enjoy the band’s music, as her own tastes ran toward her father’s Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole records.

She married Bono in 1982. The couple had four children: Eve, Elijah, Jordan, and John. She was the inspiration for Sweetest Thing, one of her husband’s most popular songs.

As the band broke through in popularity with the War Tour in 1983, Ali Hewson did not readily adapt to the new circumstances. After seeing her with the group at a trendy Hollywood nightspot, journalist Ethlie Ann Vare commented that Ali looked “as out of place as a dairymaid in a brothel.” Although she had wanted to become a nurse, Hewson gave up on the notion, as the intense schooling required would have been incompatible with the direction that her husband’s life had taken. Instead she focused on studying in the social sciences, to give her an ability to understand social policy and make a difference to people, similar to what nursing would have enabled. By Bono’s own description, the marriage hit a period of strain in 1986 due to time commitments during the group’s recording of The Joshua Tree. Tensions continued in 1987 during the subsequent Joshua Tree Tour.
