Millie Bobby Brown, 19, and Jake Bongiovi, 21, recently became engaged, signaling the start of their wedding preparations. Their romantic journey began when they first connected through Instagram DMs and publicly revealed their relationship two years ago. Brown expressed that their connection was immediate, stating, “After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side.” She emphasized that it was a feeling of certainty that this was the person she wanted to spend her life with, eliminating the need for overthinking.
Bongiovi, the son of renowned singer Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley, proposed to the “Stranger Things” star in April, accompanied by a stunning engagement ring. Brown shared their engagement news on Instagram with a reference to Taylor Swift’s “Lover” lyrics, stating, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.”
Following the proposal, the couple celebrated with an intimate engagement party among family and friends. Photos from the soirée were shared on Instagram by Brown’s hairstylist and makeup artist, featuring the couple posing beside a “Mr. and Mrs. Bongiovi” sign.
Despite their frequent displays of affection on social media, Brown and Bongiovi have maintained a relatively private relationship, a trend they intend to continue as they prepare for their wedding. In an interview with WWD, Brown described wedding planning as “so fun” and “an exciting time in my life,” though she refrained from sharing specific details. She expressed her desire to keep these precious moments close to her heart, explaining that having everyone’s opinions and attention focused on them felt unnatural.
Regarding the wedding planning process, Brown shared during a September 15th interview on “Today” that it has been stress-free for her. She praised Jake’s active involvement, describing him as very helpful throughout the process. She emphasized that she has never felt alone in this journey, appreciating the collaborative effort. Brown conveyed her excitement about their intimate day and the support they share, highlighting the anticipation and joy they both feel.
