Jon Bon Jovi Confirms Son is Married to Millie Bobby Brown
Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that his son, Jake Bongiovi, and actress Millie Bobby Brown are officially married.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer told BBC’s The One Show (h/t Rolling Stone), “They’re great. They’re absolutely fantastic. It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be.”
Reports surfaced during the Memorial Day holiday weekend that the young couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony. However, there wasn’t an official confirmation.
As previously reported, The Sun noted that both Jake and Millie’s parents were in attendance. A source told the publication, “It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows.” The Sun further noted that a larger ceremony in the U.S. will take place later this year, but the young couple is reportedly legally married.
Days after they said “I do,” People spotted the couple in the Hamptons on May 26, and both were wearing wedding bands on their ring fingers.
A Brief History of Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi
Jake, 22, and Millie, 20, announced their engagement in April 2023. Brown took to Instagram and shared a black-and-white photo of her being hugged by Bongiovi. In the photo, she’s wearing a sizable diamond ring on her left ring finger. She captioned the photo with a lyric from the Taylor Swift song “Lover”: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” Meanwhile, Bongiovi shared a photo to Instagram with Brown and captioned it simply, “Forever.”
The young couple were first rumored to be dating in Spring 2021.
Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, eloped in Las Vegas in 1989. However, the two were famously high school sweethearts. Even though they married when they were older, JBJ can definitely relate to Jake and Millie’s “young love.”
Bon Jovi said of his son’s engagement to Good Morning America, “It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago … I’ve gotten to know [Millie] in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way.”
Three of Jon and Dorothea’s four children are in very serious relationship. People notes that oldest child/daughter, Stephanie, 30, is also engaged. The outlet also confirmed that second-born/son, Jesse, 29, and his longtime girlfriend, Jesse Light, actually eloped in Vegas on May 7 at the same chapel where Jon and Dorothea eloped.
