Jake Bongiovi’s Romantic Underwater Proposal to Millie Bobby Brown
Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake, married British actress Millie Bobby Brown in an intimate ceremony.
During an interview on BBC’s “The One Show” on Tuesday, Bon Jovi was asked about the couple’s rumored marriage.
“They’re great,” Bon Jovi replied when asked how the happy pair is.
“They are just great. It was a modest family wedding, and the bride looked stunning. Jake is overjoyed. And, yes, it is real,” he responded, confirming reports of the wedding.
The couple originally announced their engagement in April 2023, and Brown, 20, told the story of how Bongiovi, 22, proposed during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon in March.
“Essentially, Jake and I bonded over diving. “We love diving, and we got our diving licenses together,” stated the “Stranger Things” star, before explaining that his marriage proposal occurred underwater.
“He gives me like a shell and I like, turn it over and it’s a ring,” she explained.”And I looked at him and he was like,” Brown recalled, mimicking Bongiovi’s underwater conversation.
“So I was like, okay,'” Brown added, making the okay sign. “And I think it was underwhelming, but we freaked out.”
“Anyway he puts the ring on my hand and as I go to show him the ring falls off my finger, plummets like, so fast, it was like a cinematic movie,” Brown recalled.
Bongiovi did a thorough dive to get the ring back.
“Jake threw himself, like so deep, like the diver was like, ‘You can’t do that, like your ears … literally your brain will explode.’”
“It’s a reflection of who he is and I feel like we’re always going to have each other’s back and if anyone drops the ball, we got it,” Brown said.
And the couple have the backing of Bon Jovi despite getting married at such a tender age.
“You know, if you find the right partner and you grow together, I think that would be my advice really, is growing together is wise,” he said.
“Growing together and so I think that all of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with and we like ’em all.”
