Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi: A Fairytale Love Born on Instagram
So, you think love stories have to be complicated? Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have flipped the script, proving that modern romance can kick off in the most contemporary way and still lead to happily-ever-afters. These two met through good old Instagram in 2021, moving swiftly from DMs to FaceTime and, ultimately, a cozy, in-person meeting where Jake showed some serious gentlemanly vibes by picking Millie up from the airport. Can you say swoon?!
In a candid chat with *Wired* back in November 2022, Millie elegantly laid out how their friendship blossomed into romance. “As soon as we spoke, I knew he was going to be a huge part of my life,” she gushed. It turns out, the 21-year-old actress didn’t play coy for long; she was smitten fast and hard. The lovebirds wrapped up 2024, celebrating their wedding in a private ceremony last May, followed by a glamorous bash in Tuscany that would make even royal weddings turn green with envy. Millie donned not one, not two, but four stunning looks, including pieces from Galia Lahav and Valentino. Talk about a wardrobe goals moment!
Their relationship isn’t just about glitz; it’s also grounded in reality. Both come from families with strong, long-lasting relationships. Millie’s parents have been together for decades, which influenced her understanding of what makes love last. Jake’s parents, Jon Bongiovi and Dorothea Hurley, are high school sweethearts celebrating over 35 years together, so it’s safe to say these two have some serious role-modeling going on.
In the era of “it’s complicated” relationship statuses, the simplicity and authenticity of Millie and Jake’s love story serve as a refreshing reminder that sometimes, you just *know* when you’ve found the one. Plus, let’s not forget their adorable public outings! From their debut at the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards to sweet social media exchanges, it feels like we’re all part of their cute little rom-com. Millie even flashed her engagement ring for the first time in April 2023, referencing Taylor Swift’s “Lover” lyrics—because even celebrities know the old adage about love stories being way better with a soundtrack. With all this love in the air, it seems Millie and Jake are setting the bar for heart-eyed couples everywhere. Stay tuned, because this love story is just getting started!
