Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, son of American musician Jon Bon Jovi, reportedly exchanged vows in a private ceremony in May 2024. The actress and model have been together for nearly three years. They were first linked in early June 2021 when Bongiovi shared a picture with Brown in a car, calling her his best friend. While there were doubts about the nature of their relationship, the duo sparked dating rumors later that month when they were seen walking the streets of New York City hand in hand.
Speculations about Brown and Bongiov continued to swirl in the following months as they kept spending time with each other. In June 2021, for instance, the couple shared a picture of a weekend together, which fueled the rumors. However, neither confirmed nor denied they were lovers until late 2021. Since then, they have openly dated, attending public events together while celebrating each other online. They committed to getting married soon after and have remained together ever since.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Confirmed Their Relationship In November 2021
Following months of speculations, the duo confirmed they were in a relationship. This was in November 2021 when the actress shared a picture of herself and Bongiovi kissing at the Millennium Wheel in London. A year later, she disclosed they met on Instagram, and were friends for a while before it went romantic. “We met on Instagram, the old Instagram, and we were friends for a bit and then, what can I say?” Brown told Wired in November 2022 while answering the most searched questions about her online.
Jake Bongiovi confirmed they met online during another Q&A session on the actress’ YouTube channel in September 2023. He also recalled the first time they met in person, divulging that Brown tried to play it cool. “When we first met in person I actually picked you up at the airport,” he said. “You were playing it cool like whatever… I think I was taken aback,” added the model as he talked about his first impression of Millie Bobby Brown.
The Couple Got Engaged In April 2023
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have been inseparable since they confirmed their relationship in November 2021. They spent their first Christmas together that year and made their red carpet debut the following year. This was on March 13, 2022, at the year’s BAFTA Film Award, which took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Later in May, they were seen together at the premiere of Stranger Things Season 4 in New York City. The pair also attended the premiere of Enola Holmes 2 in October 2022.
Their bond grew stronger as their love bloomed with each passing day. When Brown welcomed 2023, she took to Instagram to appreciate Bongiovi, whom she described as her “partner for life.” This hinted at what would come as the couple got engaged three months later. Millie Bobby Brown announced the engagement on April 11, 2023. She posted a picture with Bongiovi on Instagram which depicted a diamond ring on her engagement finger. The photo was captioned: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.”
Are Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Married?
After circulating reports claiming the two are married, Bongiovi’s father, Jon Bon Jovi, confirmed news of the secret wedding, “It was a very small, family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be. It’s true.” A source close to the couple told The Sun they are legally married and intend to have a bigger ceremony later. “They are planning a big ceremony in the US later this year,” said the source, “but now they have legally married and done all the paperwork. It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows,” added the source.
The couple probably opted for a quiet exchange of vows to avoid a media frenzy. The marriage has been anticipated by those who have closely followed the couple’s relationship. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have always maintained that they are meant to spend the rest of their life together. “After we met, we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side… the one thing that made clear sense to me was him,” Brown told The Sunday Times in August 2023.
