7 Shocking Updates on Millie and Jake's Married Life
The couple has been an open book about their relationship timeline since first sparking rumors in June 2021, but the details surrounding their marriage and subsequent family life have been full of unexpected turns and surprises.
#1: The Secret May 2024 Wedding
The biggest update is that the couple secretly tied the knot in a "very low-key, romantic affair" in May 2024. This intimate, private ceremony was attended only by their closest family members, including Jake's famous father, Jon Bon Jovi, and Millie’s parents. The news of this first, private wedding only emerged months later, catching many fans off guard who were still anticipating a future ceremony.
#2: Millie Dropped 'Brown' for 'Bongiovi'
Following the secret May ceremony, the actress made a significant personal change: she officially dropped 'Brown' from her professional name and now goes by Millie Bonnie Bongiovi. This move, which was unveiled a year after her first wedding, signifies her full embrace of her new married life and identity as part of the Bongiovi family.
#3: A Lavish Second Wedding in Tuscany
While the May ceremony was private, the couple celebrated their union with a larger, more radiant wedding in Tuscany, Italy, in October 2024. The Italian wedding was a lavish affair, with new details emerging that included a special guest performer—a close friend of the couple—and a stunning dress with a long train that trailed behind her as she walked down the aisle.
#4: The Dramatic Underwater Proposal Story
The engagement itself was a cinematic event worthy of a Hollywood movie. Jake proposed to Millie in April 2023, not on a picturesque cliff or a fancy restaurant, but underwater while they were scuba diving. The moment was so dramatic that Jake had to use hand signals to communicate the proposal, and the ring—an antique from Millie’s mother—nearly slipped off her hand, leading to a frantic moment where Jake dove to retrieve it. This near-catastrophe resulted in Millie having two engagement rings: the antique ring and a second, more secure one.
#5: The Unexpected Family Announcement
Months after their May 2024 wedding, the couple shared a major "family announcement" that made Jon Bon Jovi a grandfather. The news, which was shared publicly in August 2024, confirmed that the young couple had become parents. While the specifics of the child’s arrival were initially kept private, the news solidified their transition into a new phase of life as a married couple and new parents, generating massive interest and support from fans globally.
#6: Jon Bon Jovi's Reaction to Becoming a Grandfather
Jake's rock star father, Jon Bon Jovi, has been openly supportive of the couple's relationship and marriage. His reaction to the family announcement was one of pure joy, stating that he was "thrilled" to become a grandfather. He has consistently praised Millie, calling her "wonderful" and a part of the family since their engagement.
#7: A Focus on Future Projects and Family Life
Despite their young age, the couple is clearly focused on balancing their high-profile careers with their new family life. Millie is set to star in the final season of the blockbuster series *Stranger Things*, continuing her iconic role as Eleven. Meanwhile, Jake continues to pursue his modeling and acting career. Their shared life in the spotlight, now as the Bongiovi family, is expected to be a central topic for years to come, with fans eagerly awaiting glimpses of their life as new parents.
What's Next for Millie Bonnie Bongiovi and Jake?
With two weddings under their belt and a major family milestone achieved, the Bongiovi couple is settling into married life. The immediate future is packed with professional commitments, but with a new baby and a new name, Millie is clearly prioritizing her personal life.
The couple’s relationship exemplifies a modern, fast-paced celebrity romance. They met online, moved quickly to engagement, and then surprised the world with their immediate, low-key marriage before celebrating with a grand Tuscan ceremony. Their willingness to share key, dramatic details—like the underwater proposal and their new role as parents—keeps them in the public eye while maintaining a firm boundary around their most private moments.
As they navigate their early twenties, their story is a testament to finding a deep connection early in life. Jake Bongiovi, the son of a rock legend, and Millie Bobby Brown, the global superstar, have created a powerful, united front. Their journey from online friends to Mr. and Mrs. Bongiovi is one of the most compelling narratives in Hollywood today, and fans worldwide are excited to see what new chapters they will write in the coming years.
