Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi: A Complete Relationship ...
Millie Bobby Brown once made a “marriage pact” with her Stranger Things costar Noah Schnapp in case they were both single at 40. Of course, they both agreed the arrangement would be completely platonic, with Schnapp calling the idea of having children with Brown his “deal breaker.”
“That’s my deal breaker too,” Brown agreed in the MTV News video in June 2022. “No kids. Only dogs. And separate bedrooms for sure. My God, you are so messy.”
Less than a year later, Millie Bobby Brown entered a more traditional marriage pact—this time with fiancé Jake Bongiovi, the 21-year-old son of famed musician Jon Bon Jovi. Despite all these plans, she tells Glamour that she didn't grow up envisioning the perfect wedding. “That wasn’t my dream,” she said in her Woman of the Year interview. “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,” the 19-year-old actor, entrepreneur, and author said. “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.’”
So what's their story? Here's a complete timeline of Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's relationship, in reverse chronological order.
October 16, 2023: Brown says falling in love with Bongiovi was a “bizarre” experience in her Glamour Woman of the Year interview: “He’s so kind. And his heart is just loving and wonderful and smart.”
Brown says Bongiovi also helped her fall in love with herself. “I was like, ‘Why do you love me?’ And then he listed all these things that I hated about myself,” she says. “I was like, ‘You see good in those things?’ And he was like, ‘Of course I do.’”
She continues, “Those are things that I love about myself now. He was a really big, huge part of me loving myself and becoming a woman. It was like, ‘Wow, I really love this person because he allows me to love myself.’”
