Currently, Carmen is grabbing a lot of attention as she recently shared that she was never a romantic person, but her entire perspective changed after being with one of her exes. 

Well, the ex, Carmen Electra was talking about is American songwriter and guitarist, Dave Navarro. It is worth mentioning that the two tied the knot in the early 2000s; however, they parted ways after a few years of togetherness. Amid Carmen’s recent statement, read on to know more about Dave and their relationship.

Dave Navarro had a traumatic childhood

Dave Navarro is a famous American rock guitarist, songwriter, and television personality, who is popularly recognised as an important member of the band, Jane’s Addiction. According to a report by Mabumbe, Dave was born on June 7, 1967, in California. Dave discovered his passion towards music at a young age as his cousin, Dan was a singer and songwriter. 

Reportedly, Dave completed his education from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. However, Dave’s early life was not very smooth. Reportedly, he was primarily raised by his mother, Connie Navarro. But Dave’s life took an ugly turn, when Connie’s ex-boyfriend, John Riccardi murdered Dave’s mother and aunt in 1983. Multiple reports claim that this tragic incident has a significant impact on Dave’s music.

In 2014, the singer had opened up about his mother’s tragic demise and shared that he was still not over the entire incident; however, he was feeling a little more peaceful than before. Linking the incident with domestic violence, the singer had shared:

“My mother was in a relationship, the relationship ended. She wanted to go a different way, and her then-ex-boyfriend murdered her and my aunt. Sometimes it’s hard to link domestic violence with murder because it’s such a broad jump. Except it is a domestically violent situation and probably the worst-case scenario in a domestically violent world. I don’t know if there’s ever a day when you’re repaired. But to have a deeper emotional understanding, to have a deeper psychological understanding, I definitely feel more at peace for sure.”

Dave Navarro’s rise to fame

Dave Navarro’s journey began in 1986, when he joined the band, Jane’s Addiction. With his powerful guitar skills, he instantly rose to fame. Dave’s creativity and uniqueness helped the band stand out among others. Over the years, they released albums like Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual.

Carmen Electra shared:

“I don’t like liars. It’s just really nice when you’re with someone (who’s) just really into you. I have had that before. It obviously didn’t last. But once you know what it feels like to really be with someone (who) is so there for you, you can’t undo that feeling. You know, it’s just beautiful. (I want) somebody that’s very romantic. I remember when I was dating Dave (Navarro), I was so not romantic, and he was teaching me how to be romantic, but now I am.”
