Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have tied the knot! The couple, who first met on Instagram, secretly married over the weekend of May 18, 2024, in a small ceremony attended by close family members. The ceremony was described as intimate and romantic, with the couple having already completed all the necessary legal paperwork. Although they had a quiet, low-key affair, they were planning a larger celebration later in the year.
The news was later confirmed by Jake’s father, rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show, where he praised the couple’s happiness and described the wedding as a small family gathering. He shared that Millie looked gorgeous, and Jake was thrilled. The couple’s second celebration took place in Tuscany, Italy, where they hosted a lavish destination wedding, shared photos from their event in October 2024, and celebrated surrounded by loved ones.
In Tuscany, Millie wore a custom wedding dress designed by Galia Lahav, which featured a bustier bodice, exposed boning, a structured waist, and an elegant lace train. Sharon Sever, the brand’s head designer, expressed how honored she was to create the gown for Millie. Additionally, the brand also designed custom looks for the mothers of the bride and groom. For the reception, Millie changed into a sleek mini dress and accessorized with Jake’s bow tie.

The couple’s engagement had been announced earlier in 2023, with Millie sharing a touching post on Instagram with a Taylor Swift lyric, indicating her deep affection for Jake. Her engagement ring, a cushion-cut or round-cut diamond on a pavé band with a sparkly halo setting, was revealed through a video promoting Millie’s brand Florence by Mills Coffee. Millie later revealed that the ring was an heirloom from her mother’s collection, adding sentimental value to the engagement.
Millie and Jake’s relationship began in 2021, after meeting on Instagram. They initially started as friends, but romance blossomed over time. The couple made their relationship public in 2021, and their first official appearance together came in March 2022 at the BAFTA Film Awards. In May 2022, they attended the Stranger Things season 4 premiere together, looking undeniably in love.
The couple became engaged in April 2023. Millie shared the news with sweet black-and-white photos on Instagram. In an interview later that year, Jon Bon Jovi expressed his happiness for the couple, offering advice about growing together as a couple and speaking highly of Millie, calling her “wonderful.”
Despite the public nature of their relationship, Millie kept many wedding details private, expressing that some moments in life should remain close to the heart. She mentioned enjoying the wedding planning process and looking forward to the exciting journey ahead with Jake.
Jake and Millie’s secret wedding in May 2024 was just the beginning of their celebration. They hosted a second event later in the year in Tuscany, creating lasting memories with friends and family, marking the start of their beautiful journey as a married couple.
