Everything You Need to Know About Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's Future Wedding
Fans are speculating that the young couple will marry sometime in 2024. Here's what we know so far.
After two years of a whirlwind, fairy-tale romance, Millie Bobby Brown, of Stranger Things and beauty industry fame, and Jake Bongiovi, the son of Jon Bon Jovi, announced their engagement in 2023. The young couple, who are lauded online by fans as a power couple, have yet to announce their wedding details, but with consistent social media posts sharing their life as a couple and regular public appearances together, the couple's plans show no sign of changing anytime soon.
Brown and Bongiovi began dating in mid-2021, which the duo confirmed after an Instagram selfie captioned "bff <3" prompted fans to speculate a potential relationship between the two. Early on in their relationship, the pair weren't shy about sharing their new couple status with frequent Instagram stories and posts.
In December 2021, Brown and Bongiovi spent their first Christmas together, a sign that marks the beginning of any serious relationship.
Just a few months later, the couple made their red carpet debut together, yet another sign that their relationship was more than just a fling. On the red carpet at the 2022 BAFTA Awards, Bongiovi sported a classic black suit, complete with a matching bowtie, while Brown wore a luxe black velvet gown with lace detailing. Throughout the rest of 2022, the couple continued updating fans on their relationship, with posts here and there chronicling everything from joint red carpet appearances to weekend hiking dates.
In November 2022, Brown revealed that she met Bongiovi through Instagram—an unsurprising move for one of Gen Z's buzziest power couples. "We met on Instagram," Brown said in a Wired interview. "And we were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?"
Rounding up her 2022 with an Instagram photo dump, Brown shared her gratitude for her family, friends, pets, and fans in a celebratory New Year post. After reading the actress' caption more closely, fans went crazy when they realized she referred to Bongiovi as her "partner for life," indicating the depth of the couple's relationship.
Just a few months later, the couple announced major news. On April 11, 2023, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi got engaged after a romantic seaside getaway. While critics noted the couple's young age and relatively new relationship as points of concern, the couple seemed as happy as ever on social media.
A few weeks after the exciting news broke, Bongiovi's father, the legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi commented on the engagement during an interview on Andy Cohen's show, Radio Andy. "I don't know if age matters. If you find the right partner and you grow together," he said. "My advice really is growing together is wise," he added, before saying "Millie is wonderful. Her whole family is great. Jake is very, very happy."
In the months since the couple's engagement, the pair have been loved-up as ever on social media, but fans have locked onto a recent, seemingly innocuous Instagram caption as proof that a wedding is in the works for 2024.
Fans and media outlets are wondering exactly what the "big year ahead" means, but we're hearing wedding bells in the future for Bongiovi and Brown. While major wedding plans have yet to be announced, Brown has shared in recent interviews that she feels ready for the marriage, despite her young age.
In an October 2023 interview with Elle, Brown shared her vision of the future: “My dream was to have a baby. I wanted to be the woman that my mom is to me and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me. So that was never my, like, intention, to be a wife. But after meeting Jake and seeing, ‘Oh, I don't have to be this stereotypical wife for him. He doesn’t want me to be that either. He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that.’ I was like, ‘Oh, I do want this.’”
