Millie Bobby Brown has written a touching birthday message to her fiancé, Jake Bongiovi, for the first time publicly.
The Stranger Things actor, 19, and Jake, 21, who is Jon Bon Jovi’s son, both caused outrage on Instagram in April when they uploaded love-up photos in which Millie wore a big diamond ring on her engagement finger.
Many friends and fans hurried to congratulate them, including Millie’s co-star and close friend Noah Schnapp, but it was Jake’s rocker father who eventually verified they were definitely, 100% engaged while defending their young ages.
Speaking to Andy Cohen recently on the radio host’s SiriusXM show, the presenter asked: ‘When your almost-21-year-old says, “I’m getting engaged,” do you worry for them that they’re too young? Do you worry as a dad about how old or how young they are?’
Jon replied: ‘I don’t know if age matters. If you find the right partner and you grow together… my advice really is growing together. [That’s] wise.
‘I think all of my kids have found the people they think they can grow together with and we like ‘em all.’


Millie, who is also an author, uploaded a carousel of photographs of herself and Jake holding hands with a romantic note on Sunday.
It includes a photo of them strolling with their arms around each other on their current trip to Japan, as well as photos of them holding hands on earlier occasions, including as at a theme park and backstage at the Enola Holmes 2 premiere.
‘This sums us up,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘In bliss, exploring together. I am eternally holding your hand.’
The actress added: ‘Happy birthday fiancé. I love you ❤️’

‘So happy for you 🥰,’ responded socialite and DJ Paris Hilton in the comments, while Stanger Things co-star Matthew Modine also shared an adorably thoughtful reaction.
‘Life is a beautiful long walk. There is a beautiful African saying: if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together,’ he commented.
‘I love you both and enjoy seeing you walk together. ❤️’
Millie recently offered fans another glimpse at her beautiful ring as she attended the opening of Osaka Comic Con in Japan on Friday, dressed in a similar red blazer and shorts outfit with cowboy boots.
She and Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen, 57, smashed a sake barrel, which symbolises fresh beginnings and the future, after making a sweet love sign with her hands for admirers.
