Who is Jake Bongiovi? Meet Jon Bon Jovi’s son and Millie Bobby Brown’s fiancé

Millie Bobby Brown is engaged to Jake Bongiovi.

The Stranger Things actress, 19, shared a photo of her glittering diamond ring on Instagram after the actor, 20, proposed.

The pair went public with their relationship in 2021 as Millie’s career took off thanks to her starring role in Netflix’s Stranger Things.

But Jake is no stranger to the Hollywood A-list lifestyle, as his father is none other than Jon Bon Jovi, 61, who has an impressive 1.2 million Instagram followers.

Here’s a look at who Millie’s fiancée is – from their relationship to his close bond with his famous rockstar dad…

Involvement

Millie and Jake announced the news on Instagram.

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.”

While Jake also shared an announcement post on his own page, he simply wrote “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 speculation in August when she was spotted wearing 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.

Relation

Millie and Jake met on Instagram and became friends through the platform before their 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.

Jake doesn’t post as often as Millie, but when he does, it’s often sweet snaps with Millie, selfies, or artsy shots as he travels the world.

Famous father

Jake previously said he has no plans to follow in his father’s rock and roll footsteps.

Jon is the founder and frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi, which was formed in 1983. He has released 15 studio albums with his band, as well as two solo albums.

Nepo baby Jake plans to pursue a career as an actor.

When asked if he fancied a career in music in an interview with Man about city magazine.: ‘I think I’ll leave that to my dad! There’s really no tracking of the deed there.’

He said, “There was always music playing in the house growing up, all different kinds of genres from all different kinds of worlds. But what appealed to me were the people on the screen, not the voices through the speakers.’

However, Jake said his father’s experience in the industry has helped him immensely.

He said, “My father’s influence has been a wonderful learning curve. It’s just amazing to hear it directly from a first person, their experience coming through through artistic expression.’

Jake reflected, “As long as you can keep your identity—who you are and what you originally set out to do—and keep it strong, that’s the goal.”

Family

Jon shares Jake, daughter Stephanie, 28, and sons Jesse, 25, and Romeo, 16, with wife Dorothea Hurley, 59.

He met Dorothea in 1980 while attending high school in New Jersey before later raising a family.

Career

Jake is an up and coming actor.

In February, he landed his second major acting role as a rock band singer in the upcoming comedy movie titled Rockbottom.

Jake will play his second leading role after previously starring in the 2019 film Sweethearts.

His father’s doppelgänger will star in the hair comedy alongside McKaley Miller, Teala Dunn and 13 Reasons Why’s Tom Everett Scott, according to an exclusive report from Variety.

The synopsis reveals that the story follows as a group of Gen-Z musicians attempt to reunite an 1980s hair metal band called CougarSnake.

Jake will play the potential new lead singer – who must overcome stage fright to lead the band back to glory.

Stranger Things betrothed Millie

English actress Millie became an internationally recognized child star in the super 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.
