From the Small Screen to Real Life Love: A Deep Dive into the Secret Wedding of Millie Bobby Brown
In a coupling that truly seems like something out of a tale, Stranger Things sweetheart Millie Bobby Brown, now at the tender age of 20, makes headlines again, but for a far more personal reason. Millie, who has been in the public eye since her breakout role as Eleven on Netflix’s smash hit Stranger Things, is now officially married to Jake Bongiovi, the son of U.S rock ‘n’ roll icon Jon Bon Jovi.
Star-studded Yet Intimate Gathering
To the shared surprise and joy of their fans worldwide, it has been reported that the attractive pair recently tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony with only their closest friends and family in attendance. This clandestine celebration of love took place just over a year after their engagement in 2023.
The wedding was described as a “very low-key, romantic affair” attended by their closest family members. Despite the star power inherently associated with these two young figures, they chose to keep this momentous occasion intimately personal and small-scale. But, for those fans hoping for grander fanfare, fret not; according to sources reported by People, this certainly won’t be the only ceremony that the couple plans to host to celebrate their union, with another larger affair reportedly scheduled later this year.
Tracking their Love Story through Social Media
Brown, popular not just for her remarkable acting prowess but also her authentic self-representation on social media, had first delightedly announced her engagement to Bongiovi in April 2023 – she had just turned 19! Her engagement announcement took the form of a series of Instagram posts featuring her elegant engagement ring.
Engraving her love and commitment into the digital world, she captioned her announcement with an intimate revelation: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” Poetically enough, the star was referencing lyrics from Taylor Swift’s hit song “Lover”. This love-filled post was just the first of many more to come on their ardent journey to matrimony.
A Symbol of Familial Love
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Brown revealed that her engagement ring wasn’t just a mere gem but a precious heirloom from her mother, Kelly. She divulged that it was a ring she had always loved, one which had always stood out to her among her mother’s treasures. According to Millie: “She (Millie’s mother) gave it to Jake,” explaining that they had both played parts in planning the proposal. In a touching sentiment, Brown expressed her love for this personal touch to her engagement. She exclaimed-“I love that I can always keep a piece of my mum with me.”
An Unanticipated and Sparking Connection
Millie candidly narrated the blooming of their love story. She admitted that she had fallen head over heels for Jake from the moment they first met. She recalled running to her mum, giddy and teeming with joy, confessing, “I really, really like him!” She remembers being so smitten that she knew almost instantly that she never wanted to leave his side.
Describing the connection she shares with Jake, Millie revealed: “After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side. You can’t pinpoint why, it’s just the feeling of knowing that that’s the person you want to spend the rest of your time with.”
While things between them felt intense right from the onset, Brown confessed that this felt bizarrely different from any of her previous relationships. Despite her earlier beliefs, she has embraced the role of a wife, not in a conventional way as stereotypically expected in society but in a partnership of equals. She attributed her aspirations to the strong female figures in her life and confessed. “I wanted to be the woman that my mum is to me and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me.”
She closed her heartwarming revelation with an ode to her husband’s supportive nature. “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.”
