Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are basking in the glow of newlywed life, and their recent vacation in Sardinia, Italy, is a testament to their happiness. Just a month after their intimate wedding ceremony, the couple was spotted enjoying a sun-soaked getaway with Jake’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley.
Millie, 20, opted for a stylish yet practical look, donning a tangerine button-down over a chic blue one-piece swimsuit with cutouts. Jake, 21, complemented her with white swim trunks and a matching white polo shirt. The couple, who announced their engagement in April 2023 after less than two years of dating, seemed relaxed and happy as they lounged on chairs and chatted with Dorothea, who wore a white dress and sun hat. They also joined Jon for a meal in the shade, enjoying some quality family time.
Jon Bon Jovi has been vocal about his approval of Millie, describing her as “fabulous” and noting that she fits perfectly into their family. “She’s really wonderful, and her and Jake are a great couple,” he told E! News in April. He also shared details about their wedding, calling it a “very small family wedding” and adding that “the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be.”
The couple’s love story has been a whirlwind. They first sparked romance rumors in June 2021 when Jake posted a photo of them together on Instagram with the caption “bff <3." By November 2021, they had confirmed their relationship with a PDA-filled photo. Over the next few months, they celebrated holidays together, attended red carpet events, and shared numerous sweet moments on social media.
In February 2023, Jake marked Millie's 19th birthday with a heartfelt tribute, writing, "Another year around the sun together happy 19th to the girl of my dreams." The couple announced their engagement in April 2023, with Millie quoting Taylor Swift's song "Lover" in her Instagram post. They celebrated their engagement with family and friends at a party weeks later.
Their wedding was a low-key affair, attended by close family members, including Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley, as well as Millie's parents. According to The Sun, the couple is planning a larger ceremony later this year. Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that he would be performing at the wedding ceremony, adding a personal touch to the special day.
In a 2023 interview with WWD, Millie expressed her desire to keep the intimate details of her wedding private. "I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once," she shared. "And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me."
The couple's relationship has been marked by numerous milestones. They made their first joint appearance at a celebrity event at the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards in London and attended the premiere of Stranger Things season four in New York City. They also celebrated New Year's together, with Millie sharing photos of the couple and expressing her gratitude for the year they had.
Jake and Millie have continued to share their love for each other on social media. In February 2024, Jake posted a tribute to Millie for her 20th birthday, writing, "Happy birthday my beautiful fiancé. I love you so much. Big year ahead." Millie also shared a tribute to Jake on their third dating anniversary in March 2024.
Their wedding in May 2024 was a culmination of their love story. Multiple outlets reported that the duo tied the knot in a private ceremony after three years of dating. Jon Bon Jovi, who has been supportive of their relationship, shared his thoughts on their marriage during a live TV interview with the BBC's The One Show. "They're great, they are absolutely fantastic," he said. "It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be."
Jon also reflected on his own experience of marrying young, noting that he met his wife Dorothea in high school and they eloped in Las Vegas during Bon Jovi's New Jersey Syndicate tour. "I've gotten to know [Millie] in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way," he said. "It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago, and I think, with the support of family around them, they're going to be great together."
The couple's love story is a modern-day fairy tale, filled with romance, family support, and a shared commitment to each other. As they continue to navigate their journey together, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are proving that love knows no bounds.
