Millie Bobby Brown engaged to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi
“Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown is engaged to Jake Bongiovi.
The 19-year-old actress and the 20-year-old son of rock singer Jon Bon Jovi announced early Tuesday that they’re getting married after two years of dating. Both shared photos on Instagram, including a shot of Bongiovi with his arm around Brown, who is seen wearing an engagement ring on that finger.
“I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ‘em all,” Brown wrote, quoting the Taylor Swift song “Lover.”
“Forever,” Bongiovi wrote with heart emojis.
The couple did not elaborate on their wedding plans or proposal details, but fans have known they’ve been dating since at least June 2021. They were spotted holding hands in New York City that month and called each other “BFF” that month; more recently Brown called Bongiovi “my partner for life,” hinting that their relationship was serious.
Brown is best known for playing Eleven on the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things,” as well as roles in “Enola Holmes” and “Godzilla vs. Kong.” The British actress also stars in the upcoming “The Electric State,” with Chris Pratt and the Russo Brothers, and “Damsel,” a new fantasy film about damsel who must save herself from a bloodthirsty dragon.
Bongiovi describes himself as a “video game critic” and an “actor” on Instagram, though he has no film or TV credits. His IMDb page says he’s expected to have roles in upcoming films “Sweethearts” (with Kiernan Shipka) and “Rock Bottom” (with Syracuse University alumnus Tom Everett Scott of “That Thing You Do!” fame).
Bongiovi briefly attended Syracuse University. His rocker dad was spotted helping his lookalike son move in on campus for his freshman year in August 2020, but young Jacob did not return for a sophomore year.
