Millie Bobby Brown’s journey to marriage with Jake Bongiovi is a modern love story filled with Hollywood glamour, heartfelt moments, and a deep bond that continues to grow. The Stranger Things actress, born on February 19, 2004, and the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, Jake Bongiovi, born in May 2002, first sparked dating rumors in June 2021 when they were spotted holding hands in New York City. While neither confirmed their relationship immediately, subtle Instagram posts soon made it clear that something special was brewing between them.
By November 2021, the couple made things official with a cozy PDA picture shared on Instagram. Jake, who attended Poly Prep Country Day School and played football, quickly became a fixture in Millie’s life. Their first red carpet appearance together came in March 2022 at the BAFTA Film Awards in London, where they looked every bit the glamorous young Hollywood couple. From there, their love story played out in the public eye, with red carpet moments at the Stranger Things season four premiere in May 2022 and Enola Holmes 2 in October that same year.

The couple’s bond only strengthened with time. In February 2023, Jake celebrated Millie’s 19th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute, calling her “the girl of my dreams.” Just two months later, on April 11, 2023, they dropped a major surprise—an engagement announcement. Millie, wearing a white lace dress, flashed a stunning diamond ring on Instagram, quoting Taylor Swift’s lyrics: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” Jake echoed the sentiment with a simple yet powerful caption: “Forever.”
The engagement sparked conversations, including a rare comment from Jon Bon Jovi himself. When asked about his son getting engaged at a young age, he remarked, “I don’t know if age matters. If you find the right partner and you grow together, that’s what’s important.” Millie and Jake seemed to embrace that philosophy wholeheartedly.
As their wedding plans took shape, it became evident that their love story was not just about Hollywood glitz but about building a life together. They officially tied the knot in a private ceremony on May 17, 2024. The intimate event, attended by close family, was officiated by Millie’s Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine. Later that summer, they debuted their wedding rings during a trip to the Hamptons and confirmed their newlywed status with a trip to Universal Studios, where Millie sported “wifey” shorts and a “wife of the party” hat.
But that wasn’t the end of their wedding celebrations. By September 2024, the couple was gearing up for a second, grander wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. They kicked off the festivities with a pre-wedding dinner at Sheesh in Mayfair, where Millie stunned in an all-white outfit. The big day, held at the breathtaking Villa Cetinale, was nothing short of a fairytale. Millie wore four different designer wedding gowns, including a custom Galia Lahav dress and an archival Valentino masterpiece from 1993.
Their wedding photos, released in October 2024, featured stunning shots of Millie and Jake exchanging vows under a floral arch, with captions reading: “Forever and always, your wife” and “Forever and always, your husband.”
Married life seems to suit them perfectly. Their first holiday season as newlyweds included Thanksgiving with Jake’s family, followed by a cozy New York City Christmas. In February 2025, Millie posted a romantic Valentine’s Day tribute to Jake, calling him “the most handsome husband that’s ever lived.” That same month, they made their first official red carpet debut as a married couple at the 2025 SAG Awards, where Millie dazzled in a peach-toned Louis Vuitton gown.
Beyond the public moments, Millie and Jake are building a home together filled with love—and animals. Their Georgia farm houses 25 farm animals, 10 dogs, four cats, and 23 additional foster dogs. Millie, who has expressed a deep love for cooking, prepares meals for Jake every night, making everything from steak frites to traditional British roast dinners. Their home is their sanctuary, and they are already planning for the future.
In multiple interviews, Millie has made it clear that starting a family is a priority. She revealed on the SmartLess podcast that she has wanted to be a mother since childhood. “My mom had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. Since I was a baby, I told my mom I wanted to be a mom just like she was to me.”
Jake, equally excited about the idea, had only one condition: “We cannot do that until we get married.” Now that they are officially husband and wife, Millie has reiterated their commitment to having a big family, whether through biological children or adoption. “My home is full of love for anyone and anything,” she shared. “The door is always open.”
