Actress Millie Bobby Brown revealed her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, her partner for two and a half years. Sharing a photo alongside Bongiovi, the 19-year-old star of Stranger Things wrote, "I've loved you for three summers now, honey, and I want them all." An engagement ring was visible on her finger, and Brown included a white heart emoji at the end of her message. Bongiovi, 20, is an actor and the offspring of iconic musician Jon Bon Jovi.

Millie Bobby Brown announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi this past Tuesday, therefore the engagement is verified and true by the couple themselves. They made their relationship public in November of 2021. Many fans are shocked that the engagement already has happened due to the couple being just 19 and 20 years old.

Millie Bobbie Brown and her boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi, posted pictures of a ring with captions that hint towards an engagement on their respective Instagrams. Both Jake and Millie posted on April 11th. There have been no confirmed engagements from the couple but Millie's costar and friend posted on his Instagram story a picture with the quote,  "My best friend is engaged." This leads to many believing that the claims are real. Until the couple themselves confirm it, there is no way to tell if it is genuinely true or false.

The claim that Milly Bobby Brown is engaged is true. Not only did Milly and her boyfriend, Jon Bon Govi's son, post about their engagement, but other sources have commented on it as well. An article by CNN showed the images of Millies engagement. His caption for the photo was "forever" with a ring on her finger. She has confirmed their relationship quoting that “We were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?” Millies costars have also congratulated Millie on her engagement. All of this information has lead me to believe that Millie is engaged.
