Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are married! The Stranger Things star, 20, and the model, 22, secretly tied the knot in an intimate family celebration, as Jon Bon Jovi confirmed on the BBC’s The One Show.
Speaking on The One Show, the rock legend, now Brown’s father-in-law, shared the exciting news during his appearance on Tuesday, saying, “They are great, they are absolutely fantastic. It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be,” confirming rumours that the couple had tied the knot.
Although Brown and Bongiovi haven’t publicly commented on their nuptials, the couple was spotted strolling around the Hamptons on May 26. The newlyweds were seen enjoying a casual shopping trip, dressed comfortably and holding hands, flaunting their wedding bands. Their secret ceremony took place last weekend, with plans for a larger celebration later this year, as reported by PEOPLE.
A Whirlwind Romance
The couple’s love story began in the summer of 2021 when Bongiovi posted a selfie with Brown captioned “bff <3.” They confirmed their relationship a few months later, with Brown sharing a photo of Bongiovi kissing her during a ride on the London Eye.
The couple announced their engagement in April 2023 with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a lyric from Taylor Swift’s song “Lover”: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” Brown later revealed to Jimmy Fallon that Bongiovi proposed underwater during a diving trip, making for a memorable and unique engagement.
Jon Bon Jovi expressed his happiness for the couple on Radio Andy. He said, “I don’t know if age matters. If you find the right partner and you grow together… my advice really is growing together is wise. I think that all of my kids have found people that they think they can grow together with and we like them all.” He also praised Brown, calling her “wonderful,” and noted that his son is “very, very happy.”
Wedding Planning Insights
Full details of their event will be revealed in due course, but Brown’s Stranger Things co-stars will likely be among the invitees. Matthew Modine, who starred in the series, previously revealed during an interview with Access Hollywood in March 2024, “I have one of those licenses to get people married and Millie thought it’d be great and then Jake said it would be a great idea, so I wrote the wedding vows and they loved what I wrote for them to join hands and to become husband and wife. It’s such a beautiful thing to be able to join two people in holy matrimony.”
“I’ve done it one time before, during Covid in upstate New York. It was an outdoor wedding and it was weird, but it’s such a beautiful thing to be able to join two people in holy matrimony. I’ve been married 44 years, it’s amazing when it works,” he said.
In August 2023, Millie Bobby Brown, in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), revealed that she was finding the wedding planning process “so fun,” adding: “It’s such an exciting time in my life.” She also shared her desire to keep the more intimate details of her nuptials private. “I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once; and to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me.” “So I feel it’s important to keep those things, those small precious moments in life, really close to your chest,” she continued.
