In November, Brown revealed that she initially connected with her fiancé through social media. “We met on Instagram, and we were friends for a while, and then, what can I say?” she shared in an interview with Wired.
The couple made their first public appearance together on the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards in March 2022.
Son of Jon Bon Jovi
While Millie Bobby Brown may be the more well-known figure, her fiancé Jake Bongiovi also has a prominent lineage in show business as the son of the legendary rock star Jon Bon Jovi. The resemblance between Jake and his father during his prime is unmistakable.
Jon Bon Jovi, known for hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” has been married to his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, since 1989. Together, they have four children, with Jake being the third-oldest. His siblings include Stephanie Rose (29), Jesse (28), and Romeo (19).
During his high school years, Jake demonstrated his activism by organizing a school walkout to raise awareness about the issue of school shootings. Speaking to NJ.com at the age of 15, Jake expressed his frustration, stating, “It’s enough. It’s happened too many times that we watch it.”

According to Elle, Jake also participated in football at Poly Prep Country Day School. He later enrolled at Syracuse University, as evidenced by an Instagram post featuring Jake in Syracuse gear alongside his proud parents. However, it is reported that Jake did not return for his sophomore year, according to the university.
Career
Although Jake bears a striking resemblance to his renowned father, he has chosen a different path and aspires to become an actor rather than follow in his dad’s rock star footsteps.

Although he has yet to make his on-screen debut, Jake is involved in two upcoming projects. He secured a role in the HBO Max feature Sweethearts, which completed production in August 2022.
Additionally, he has been cast in the comedy film Rockbottom, reportedly centered around a hair metal band. In the movie, Jake will portray the character Justin, described by Variety as the “potential new lead singer” who must overcome stage fright to lead the band back to glory.
As Jake Bongiovi matures into adulthood, his resemblance to his famous father becomes increasingly evident. We extend our best wishes to him and Millie Bobby Brown as they embark on their engagement!
