When Millie Bobby Brown, the powerhouse behind “Stranger Things,” and Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, tied the knot in May 2024, some eyebrows might have raised at their youthful ages—20 and 22, respectively. But as Millie recently dished on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, their decision to say “I do” was anything but hasty.

Millie and Jake’s love story began in 2021, and over four years, they built a life together that many dream of. Moving in together was a significant milestone, but it was their shared responsibilities, like co-parenting their beloved dogs, that deepened their bond. “We had dogs together, and we were taking care of our animals, and we started living this day-to-day life.”

As Millie recounted, living the day-to-day together made her realize she couldn’t envision a future without Jake. She told Alex Cooper, “I don’t think I could ever see you as anything else. I don’t want to be with anyone else ever again.”

Deep Conversations and Aligned Futures

Beyond the cuddles with their furry friends, the profound conversations about life, politics, and future family plans cemented their connection. “When we started talking about politics and how we want to raise our kids… we started talking about really, really big things that I’d never spoken about, and I’m already very young, so I’ve never spoken about that with boys anyway,” the star told Cooper.
