Millie Bobbie Brown and her boyfriend have allegedly been dating for 3+ years. Rumors have surfaced that the couple is engaged after Millie posted on Instagram wearing a ring. Could this be a promise ring? No posts from Millie have blatantly said she is engaged.

Both Bongiovi and Brown have posted on social media about the alleged engagement but there has been no confirmed say from either party yet.

CNN says: 

The “Stranger Things” star took to social media to share a photo of her and Bongiovi embracing – and eagle eyed fans have spotted a rather large ring on her engagement finger.

Earlier this year, she referred to Bongiovi, who she has been linked to since 2021, as her “partner for life.”

Millie Bobby Brown posted a photo on her Instagram announcing her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, who is the son of rockstar Jon Bon Jovi. The couple has been together for three years now. They both posted a photo from their engagement, and in Brown's photo you can clearly see the engagement ring on her finger,

All the media outlets besides Forbes say that it "appears" they are engaged or there's an "apparent engagement." Maybe Forbes is making an assumption and doesn't have verified information except the Instagram photo which is a bit vague?

Based solely off Millie Bobby Brown's Instagram in which she is hugging her partner with what looks to be an engagement ring on her finger, the caption reads, "I've loved you three summer snow, honey, I want 'em all", It would appear that she is engaged. Her now fiancé Jake Bongiovi posted two photos of the couple on instagram with the caption "forever." While neither of these posts blatantly state they are engaged, Millie's best friend Noah Schnapp shared her post to his Instagram story, with text on the photo stating, "My best friend is engaged." Coming from the best friend of Millie, it's pretty safe to say her and Jake are ready to tie the knot.

Millie Bobby Brown appears to be engaged to Jake Bongiovi. The couple took to instagram posting a photo with what looks like an engagement ring. Neither party has said themselves that they are in fact engaged. Brown's instagram photo had the caption "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all." The public has used this piece of information to further assume this was an engagement.
