Jon Bon Jovi is thrilled for his son and new daughter-in-law. The rock legend recently shared delightful insights into his son Jake Bongiovi’s wedding to actress Millie Bobby Brown, expressing his joy and pride about the intimate ceremony that united the young couple. It wasn’t the first time he had spoken fondly about his new family member, either.
The Couple’s Private Wedding
The tabloids reported that the two had tied the knot before they themselves announced it publicly on May 24th. The wedding was said to be very low-key and very romantic, but they intend to have a larger ceremony later this year. They were spotted in the Hamptons, cruising around in a convertible while showing off their silver wedding rings.
In an interview in April, Jon expressed his excitement about welcoming the Stranger Things star into their family. Jon compared their relationship to his own, noting the accelerated nature of their journey but emphasizing the importance of family support in nurturing their bond.
From Friendship to Love
Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown’s relationship began in the summer of 2021, sparking from a friendship formed on Instagram. Their initial connection quickly blossomed into a romance, and the couple’s chemistry was evident. Their engagement in April 2023 was a beautiful milestone, with Millie announcing the news by quoting Taylor Swift’s song “Lover” on Instagram.
Their love story continued to capture hearts as Millie shared how she knew Jake was “The One.” Speaking about it in August 2023, she recounted their first conversation on Instagram and the immediate connection they felt. Their bond was so strong that they never wanted to leave each other’s side after meeting.
Embracing New Members
Millie Bobby Brown has seamlessly integrated into the Bongiovi family, becoming Jon’s second daughter-in-law. In May, Jon’s son Jesse Bongiovi married his longtime girlfriend Jesse Light in a Las Vegas ceremony. Jon Bon Jovi’s reflections on his marriage to Dorothea Hurley also offer a heartwarming context to his support for Jake and Millie. Jon and Dorothea have been married for over 40 years, navigating the complexities of fame and family life together.
Jon Bon Jovi’s delight over Jake and Millie’s wedding is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of love and family. As the newlyweds plan their larger celebration and continue to build their lives together, they do so with the full support and blessing of proud and loving parental figures. The intimate, joyful moments they shared at their wedding mark the beginning of a new chapter.
