We all know Millie Bobby Brown from the famous show Stranger Things. She first appeared on the Netflix series in 2016 when she was 12 years old, and now she is 20! Millie has been with her now husband, Jake Bongiovi, for years. On April 11, 2023, the couple shared a cryptic Instagram post that hinted at the couple’s engagement, which was later confirmed.
Millie and Jake’s romance is nothing short of a fairytale. In 2021, their relationship was first hinted at when they were seen holding hands in New York City. During that time, they were masked, and Jake carried Millie’s dog, Winnie, in a tote bag. That year, Jake also posted a photo of them on social media, which led to fans speculating that the couple was dating.
It wasn’t long before the couple confirmed their relationship, and Millie and Jake have been quite public about their relationship. So, who is Jake Bongiovi? If you’re guessing his surname sounds like the famous ‘Jon Bon Jovi,’ you got it right! Jake, born Jacob Hurley Bongiovi, is one of Jon Bon Jovi’s four children. Born in 2002, he is the youngest of his siblings.
Jake’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley have been married since April 1989, but their love goes way back. They met in high school. Jovi and Hurley told People last year that ‘mutual respect’ is the one thing that keeps their relationship going.
Jake was an athlete and played football when he attended the Poly Prep Country Day School. He is now an actor and has featured in Sweethearts, Rockbottom, and Hallo Deutschland.
During an interview promotion for the Netflix series Enola Holmes 2, Millie discovered that one of the most searched terms under her name was how she and Jake met. To which, Millie replied that the couple first met on Instagram, where they were friends for some time before they started dating.
The couple first appeared together on the red carpet at the EE British Academy Film Awards 2022 in March. After that, in May of the same year, Jake was Millie’s date for the premiere of the latest season of Stranger Things.
Since then, the couple has celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays together. The couple is quite public on social media and often shares pictures of these celebrations. On Christmas 2022, the couple shared a clip of them decorating the Christmas tree together. Millie has mentioned in her posts that she feels Jake is her partner for life.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Millie shared details about her engagement and said that Jake proposed to her with a ring that belonged to Brown’s mother, Kelly.
However, Brown has been criticized for marrying at the young age of twenty. But Brown has replied that he trusts her intuition regarding her right timing.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by close family, including Bongiovi’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Bongiovi. Jon Bon Jovi expressed his happiness for the couple and emphasized the importance of growing together.
In March 2024, Matthew Modine, who costarred with Brown on Stranger Things, gave another update by revealing that he would be performing the couple’s wedding ceremony in an interview with Access Online.
