Millie Bobby Brown married into a family of greats when she tied the knot with Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi.
Brown started dating Jake in the summer of 2021 and the couple announced their engagement in April 2023. At the time, Jon couldn’t help but gush about his excitement for the pair’s wedding.
“They’re growing together,” the Bon Jovi frontman said to E! News in February 2024. “They’re madly in love, and we love them both for that. It’s an exciting adventure.”
After Brown married Jake in a May 2024 ceremony, Jon revealed that the couple were doing “absolutely fantastic.”
“It was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be,” he shared with BBC’s The One Show later that month.

Happy That She Joined the Family
“I’ve gotten to know her in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way,” Jon told The Times of London in an April 2024 interview.
Jon then compared Brown’s relationship with his son to his and wife Dorothea Hurley’s marriage. (The duo tied the knot in 1989.)
“It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago and I think, with the support of family around them, they’re gonna be great together,” Jon explained to the outlet.
Loving Her New Father-in-Law
Brown gushed over the perks of having Jon as a father-in-law ahead of her nuptials to Jake.
“When I need him, he is very much there for me in the best ways, always making sure I’m OK,” Brown shared on the “SmartLess” podcast in March 2025 regarding her relationship with her father-in-law. “If there’s anything that’s ever going on, I’m always like, ‘Can you help me out in this situation?’ And he’s so informative. His wisdom is ridiculous.”
Coming to Her Defense
Jon was quick to defend the couple when some criticized they were too young to tie the knot.
“I don’t know if age matters,” Jon said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “You know, if you find the right partner and you grow together. I think that would be my advice really, is growing together is wise. Growing together and so I think that all of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with and we like ‘em all.”
She Appreciates His Support for Her Career
Jake, Jon and Hurley supported Brown at her premiere of her Netflix film Damsel in March 2024 — which she was very grateful for.
“Family is everything. I know family means a lot to Jake, family means a lot to me, and being able to incorporate both of our families,” Brown shared with Extra. “I love his parents, I love his family. I am very lucky that they took time out to come and watch my movie.”
They Have a Similar Taste in Music
When asked if Jon would be helping Jake and Brown with their wedding playlist, she couldn’t help but gush how Jon is a “wizard at music.”
“I feel that my music sense … actually, we share a music sense,” she told Extra in March 2024. “We like Ed Sheeran, we love Adele. So, I think maybe we’ll just have the same playlist.”
They Danced at Her Wedding
On a March 2025 “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode, Brown shared that Jon didn’t want to perform at her and Jake’s wedding — but he still had such a great time.
“He had so much fun. He definitely danced the night away,” she told host Alex Cooper. “Like, we had moments where we danced. I am so happy that he was able to just be, like, the father of the groom.”
