Millie and Jake's romantic relationship began in June 2021 after Jake shared a photo with Millie on Instagram. They were friends at first, but then they became a couple. They were spotted holding hands in New York City and went to events like the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards and the premiere of Stranger Things Season 4 together.
In January 2023, Millie declared Jake as her lifelong partner on social media. After four months, Jake proposed, and Millie shared their engagement news on Instagram with a heartfelt black-and-white photo. She captioned it with a quote from Taylor Swift's song “Lover”: “I've loved you for three summers now, honey, I want them all 🤍.”

Jon Bon Jovi expressed his endorsement for the young couple on Radio Andy, stating that age may not be a significant factor. According to him, finding the right partner and growing together is wise advice. He also mentioned that all of his children have found someone they believe they can grow with, and he approves of them all. He specifically praised Millie, describing her as wonderful, and expressed that Jake is extremely happy.
Millie has been updating everyone on her wedding plans. In August 2023, she mentioned to Women's Wear Daily that planning the wedding has been enjoyable. She also expressed her desire to keep the personal details private. Millie emphasized the importance of cherishing special moments in life and keeping them close. She shared, “I believe it's crucial to hold onto those small, precious moments in life. I can confirm that the planning is going well – it's fun and an exciting time in my life.”
In March 2024, Matthew Modine, who co-starred with Millie in Stranger Things, shared that he had the authority to conduct wedding ceremonies. Millie liked the idea and Jake agreed, so Matthew wrote the wedding vows for them to exchange and become a married couple.
Even though people said she was too mature for Hollywood at 10 years old, Millie Bobby Brown proved them wrong by succeeding. It shows how having supportive people around you is crucial for achieving your goals.
