After Jimmy congratulated her, the actress revealed the unusual way her 21-year-old fiancé Jake (the son of legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi) popped the question and how it didn’t quite go to plan.
“Jake and I bonded over diving. We love diving, we have our diving certifications together,” she said.
‘One day we were on holiday and he said, ‘Mil, you have to get up at 8am, we’re going diving. And I thought, ‘8am?’ Dive like, what are we…’.
She added that Jake told her they were:we’re going to the same place we normally go,” but she suggested, “It’s boring, let’s go somewhere else.”
“He says, ‘No, we have to go to this place.’ So we go underwater, and we’re many feet down, and he hits me like a grenade. And I turn it over and it’s a ring,” she said.
She said they both looked at each other as she mumbled something, sounding like he was in his diving gear, but when she showed him her ring, it fell off her finger and plunged deeper into the water.
“Jake threw himself in… so deep. As if the diver was saying, “You can’t do that. Your ears. Literally, your brain will explode.” He throws himself, does a cinematic grab, opens and saves the ring,” she said.

“I really feel like it’s a reflection of who he is, and I feel like we’ll always have each other’s backs. And if someone drops the ball, we’ve got it. So here we go.’
Milly added: ‘We got to the top and he said, “Will you marry me?” And I thought, “Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, it would be – you should probably ask me that.”
The actress told Jimmy how her mother advised Jake not to suggest how he planned it because she thought Milly would drop it.
Milly said: ‘My mother said, ‘Absolutely not, Jake. You’re not taking my ring there. I know you’re going to drop it,’ and indeed he did.
“She was right, so when we got on the boat, he said, ‘This is your mother’s ring, and your parents gave it to me.’ And it was very magical.
“And his parents were there and we looked so disheveled coming out of a dive. We were like, ‘We’re engaged, but we also have to tell you this crazy story that just happened.’
