Two years after Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi appeared to confirm their engagement on Instagram and a few months after they exchanged vows in May 2024, the couple has tied the knot for the second time.
On Oct. 2, Brown shared photos from her and Bongiovi’s second wedding on Instagram. “Forever & always, your wife,” she captioned the post.
Brown has found time for a relationship amid her many different roles on and off the screen. She owns a beauty line named Florence by Mills, produces and acts in movies and television shows, and is also a Purdue University student. It’s safe to say Brown has a lot going on, so Bongiovi must be pretty special.
Bongiovi is 22 years old and the son of the rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, making him no stranger to the limelight. According to his Instagram bio, he’s an actor and producer. He hasn’t had any lead roles yet, but according to Variety, he will star in a new comedy, Rockbottom, alongside Tom Everett Scott.
