Millie Bobby Brown on Discovering “The One” in Jake Bongiovi: Love, Family, and Road Trips
In a recent episode of *Call Her Daddy*, Millie Bobby Brown, the beloved star of *Stranger Things*, opened up about her relationship with Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, shedding light on when she realized he was “the one.” The actress, who tied the knot with Bongiovi in May 2024, shared that their journey toward commitment began in the mundane yet intimate moments of cohabitation. “We had dogs together… and we started living this day-to-day life,” she recounted, highlighting how everyday responsibilities solidified her feelings for him.
But it wasn’t just the shared care for pets that deepened their bond; it was also their discussions about significant life topics, like politics and parenting. Brown noted, “I was like, ‘S–t. Okay, maybe I do wanna be with you forever,'” reflecting a maturity that belies her young age of 21. This level of emotional connection is often cited by relationship experts as a key indicator of lasting partnerships.
Interestingly, both of their families have a history of marrying young, which likely influenced their views on commitment. “His parents got married really young… My parents got married really young,” she explained, suggesting that they were shaped by strong role models. According to a study by the National Center for Family & Marriage Research, individuals who marry young often face unique challenges but can also benefit from shared life experiences that fortify their relationships.
A memorable moment in their relationship was when Jake joined Millie’s family on a road trip in an RV, which she humorously termed his “initiation.” “If you can’t sit in a car and sing songs with my family, like that’s gonna be a huge issue,” she joked, revealing that Jake not only survived but thrived in the chaotic family dynamic. Her father’s first encounter with Jake also made an impression, as he confidently greeted him with a suave “Hey, Mr. Brown.”
The couple initially fueled romance rumors through playful social media posts, and they have since become a favorite among fans, often sharing glimpses of their adventures together. As they continue to navigate young love in the public eye, Millie and Jake’s relationship encapsulates a blend of youthful exuberance and serious commitment, proving that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it.
