Millie Bobby Brown may be young, but she’s already one of the biggest stars in the world. The 20-year-old actress made her TV debut in 2013, taking on small roles in series like NCIS, Modern Family, and Grey’s Anatomy before landing her big break with a leading role in the massively popular sci-fi fantasy series Stranger Things in 2016. Since its premiere, Stranger Things has been a tremendous hit, and fans have come to know Millie as the character Eleven, who possesses psychic powers. She has also branched out into other popular films, including the Enola Holmes series.
Millie shared some exciting news on Instagram on April 11: she announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, her boyfriend of three years. The couple then secretly tied the knot in May and has now shared photos on Instagram from their second celebration in Italy with family and friends.

Millie told Wired that she and Jake first met on Instagram and “were friends for a bit” before they began dating. Jake is an actor, according to his Instagram bio, and he’s also connected to rock royalty—his dad is Jon Bon Jovi.
In June 2021, Jake posted a selfie of the two hanging out in a car, calling Millie his “bff” in the caption. A few weeks later, they were spotted holding hands in New York City. In November 2021, the actress shared a blurry picture of Jake giving her a sweet kiss on the London Eye.
Since the pair has gone public, Jake hasn’t shied away from showing off his love for the actress on his Instagram. He’s posted tons of cute pictures of them, but he’s also taken the opportunity to write sweet captions to his girlfriend, like when he posted a picture of themselves at the Stranger Things 4 premiere in May 2021, where he celebrated Millie’s latest accomplishment ahead of the new season’s release. “Congratulations babe u deserve the world love u,” he wrote.
When the Godzilla Vs. Kong star celebrated her 18th birthday, of course, she had her boyfriend by her side. While Jake normally rocks blonde hair, Millie also revealed that she changed her look to resemble the classic doll Barbie for the party. The couple posted a matching selfie, and joked about looking like Barbie and her classic boyfriend Ken. Millie captioned her picture with “Hey Ken,” while Jake wrote a sweet message to his girlfriend. “Happy birthday barbie ily,” he wrote along with the picture.
