Millie Bobby Brown, radiant with joy and admiration, proclaimed that Jon Bon Jovi truly embodies the essence of love. This sentiment was voiced just three weeks after she and Jake Bongiovi, the son of the Bon Jovi frontman, celebrated their first wedding anniversary. During a playful match game with her fellow Stranger Things stars - Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink - Millie unveiled her heartfelt affection for the 'Livin' on a Prayer' artist, proclaiming him her favorite '80s icon.
The rock band was overwhelmed with this compliment, commenting on an October 16 TikTok, "An honor indeed." But Jon's admiration for Millie extends beyond mere titles. In fact, he has been promoted to the role of grandfather to their adopted baby girl, a title he shares with Jake, on the September 21 episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast. "It's beautiful," he shared. "I want to see pictures every day. I'm already that nagging grandpa. It's cool."
Beyond his love for their baby girl, Jon - also a dad to Stephanie, 32, Jesse, 30, and Romeo, 21, with wife Dorothea Hurley - is wholeheartedly supportive of Millie, 21, and Jake, 23, despite the critics who question their young ages. "We blessed it because we understand," he continued. "They're mature beyond their years. She comes from a family where her parents are still together and they married very young."
Jon added, "She and Jake fell in love and we just thought, 'OK, we'll support this.' And it's working out perfectly." Moreover, the "It's My Life" singer is simply a fan of Millie. "She's fabulous," he told E! News in April 2024. "She's really wonderful and she and Jake are a great couple."
