Ace Frehley talked about his life on tour during a recent chat with VRP Rocks. He recalled meeting an 18-year-old model in Florida after his divorce from Jeanette Trerotola and revealed:
“I said [to Tod Howarth], ‘We gotta invite these chicks to the show.’ So, we gave ’em tickets. All four of them ended up coming to the concert. We had a great time. They came back to the hotel. I ended up with a beautiful blonde. She took me to her room, and it was magical.”
Mentioning a chat he had with her, the guitarist went on:
“Ironically, I said to her, ‘Where do you live?’ She goes, ‘I live on 67th Street in New York City.’ I go, ‘Where?’ She goes, ‘Half a block from Central Park.’ I go, ‘I live four blocks from Central Park on 67th Street.’ In my mind, I said, ‘This must be serendipity. Maybe I’m meant to be with this chick.’ Even though she was only 18 years old, and I was 37.”
He Had To Break Up With Her
At the time, Frehley was in the early years of his solo career, having left KISS and released his second studio album, ‘Trouble Walkin’.’ So, while detailing his relationship with the unnamed girl, he explained:
“We dated for a couple of weeks, and then I just said to her, ‘Look, why don’t you just move in with me?’ And she moved in with me for about nine months. Unfortunately, I would have to leave to go on tour, and I trusted her in the apartment alone. But when I got back, I heard from friends that she was dabbling with heroin.”
About their breakup, the former KISS member added:
“She ended up getting involved with the wrong kind of people. So, by the end of that year, I broke up with her, and for a while, she didn’t know what to do. She was only 18-19. So, I put her up in a hotel for a couple of months. Then eventually, she ended up going back to Texas, where she was from. Austin, Texas.”
Another Relationship Caused Him Trouble
In the following years, Ace Frehley got into a few other relationships, some of which were also with younger women. In the 2010s, he dated Rachael Gordon, who was around 20 years his junior.
Following their breakup in 2019, Gordon filed for a restraining order against Frehley, claiming that he, his daughter, and two bodyguards barged into her house and threatened to harm her.
The guitarist denied these accusations and said his ex-partner admitted in her deposition that they were untrue. In the end, a San Diego North County judge did not grant Gordon the restraining order.
