Ariana Grande’s past comment about Millie Bobby Brown goes viral after Jake Bongiovi engagement

Millie Bobby Brown, 19, announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, 20, as many social media users have blasted the news due to their young age, leading to an old Ariana Grande comment resurfacing.

The Stranger Things star’s Instagram post was filled with comments that she was too young to get married, but Ariana’s, 29, comment from a 2018 post was perhaps the most startling of them all.

At the time, Millie was dating musician Jacob Sartorius , 20, as she shared a photo of them kissing on the beach.

Many celebs had flooded the comments at the time, but it was Ariana’s response that came back into the spotlight amid recent events.

Grande wrote: ‘I wasn’t even allowed to leave my house until I was 20’

Meanwhile, Stranger Things actress announced the news Tuesday with a sweet Instagram post alongside her beau, the son of legendary singer Jon Bon Jovi.

Showing off her shimmering rock with a monochromatic photo, the teen star beamed from ear to ear in the arms of her new fiancé.

She wrote in the caption, “I’ve loved you for three summers now, baby, I want them all.”

The comment section was filled with many celebrities and fans showing their support, but there were quite a few detractors.

One commented, “Sorry to be a bummer, but this isn’t going to last long, millie, you grew up too fast, you deserve a normal and fun adolescence.” You’re 19.’

Another said, “You’re too young to make this decision,” while another commenter wrote, “Girl, didn’t you just turn 19?”

Negativity aside, Jake also shared an announcement post on his own page, simply writing “forever” alongside two snaps of the couple.

To celebrate the joyous news, the lovelorn couple took part in a beach photo shoot – with Millie dressed in a crochet dress while Jake donned a cream colored polo shirt.

The announcement confirms some speculation that has been circulating on social media in recent weeks, after she glimpsed the ring in a recent post.

Millie posed behind the wheel of a convertible in a photo last month, looking away from the camera and raising her hand, revealing the prominent diamond ring on her finger.

While she also sparked rumors in August when she wore a gold diamond ring on her wedding finger during a PDA-packed outing.

Sharing that they had spent “three summers” together in the announcement post, it comes after the actress recently bragged the dirt about how she and Jake met.

Millie explained that they connected on Instagram and became friends through the platform, before the romance took off.

Answering the most common questions about her on the internet, she said, “We met on Instagram. And we were friends for a while, so what can I say?’

She introduced Jake to her 62.7 million followers in June 2021 with a cute photo of him on Instagram, but it wasn’t until she posted a picture of him planting a kiss on her cheek that they were “Instagram official.”

Millie called Jake her “partner for life,” in a gushing post in which she shared a series of photos of the couple in January 2023.

The English actress became an internationally recognized child star in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.

Jake joined the star on the New York red carpet during the star-studded premiere of Stranger Things season four in May.

Millie’s romance has taken off just as her career has blossomed. She currently stars in the fourth season of the hit Netflix show.

Set in the 1980s, the show follows a group of teenagers in a fictional Indiana town as they battle against supernatural forces unleashed by shadowy government organizations.

While New Jersey native Jake is the third child of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, real name John Francis Bongiovi Jr, and his wife of over 40 years Dorothea.
