Stranger Things fans received exciting news this week when Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the popular Netflix series, hinted that she was engaged to her boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi. Jake, the son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi, bears a striking resemblance to his famous father. Let’s delve into who Jake Bongiovi is and find out more about him!
Engaged to Millie Bobby Brown
Jake Bongiovi, 20, and Millie Bobby Brown, 19, are reportedly engaged. Despite some fans expressing concern due to their young ages, the couple seems deeply in love. They have been together since 2021 and have shared their affection for each other on social media. Jake posted a photo of the couple on Instagram with the caption “Forever 🤍,” while Millie captioned her own photo with Taylor Swift lyrics, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2022 BAFTA Awards last March.
Jon Bon Jovi’s Son
Although Millie Bobby Brown may be the more recognizable name, Jake Bongiovi is no stranger to show business himself. He is the son of legendary rock star Jon Bon Jovi. When you look at old photos of Jon Bon Jovi, you can clearly see the resemblance between him and his son. Jon Bon Jovi has been married to his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, since 1989, and together they have four children.
Jake is the third-oldest child in the family. His siblings are Stephanie Rose, 29, Jesse, 28, and Romeo, 19. Jake has shown a passion for social activism from a young age. As a high school student, he organized a school walkout to protest against school shootings. In an interview, he expressed his frustration with the issue, saying, “It’s enough. It’s happened too many times that we watch it” when he was just 15 years old.
While Jake briefly attended Syracuse University, where he played football, he eventually decided to pursue a career in acting instead of following in his father’s footsteps as a rock star. He has two projects in production, including the HBO Max feature Sweethearts, which has already wrapped production, and the comedy Rockbottom, where he will play the character of Justin, the potential new lead singer of a hair metal band.
Jake Bongiovi has grown into a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his famous dad, Jon Bon Jovi. We send our best wishes to him and Millie Bobby Brown on their engagement. Please share this story with your friends and family to spread the news about Jake Bongiovi and his exciting journey!
