After a secret wedding earlier this year, Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown and model-actor Jake Bongiovi have officially shared glimpses of their nuptials. On October 2, the couple took to Instagram to post photos from their wedding celebration, held at the picturesque Villa Cetinale in Italy.
The ceremony, which had remained private until now, took place in May and was described as “low-key,” attended by close family and friends.
“Forever and always”
Millie Bobby Brown, the British actress best known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, shared six photos from the wedding day. One of the pictures shows the couple embracing under the golden Italian sun, while others capture candid moments with family and friends. In her caption, Brown wrote, “Forever and always, your wife,” a sentiment that resonated deeply with her followers, receiving millions of likes within hours of posting.
Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, also posted a collection of six photos, which included a heartwarming image with his father. Like Brown, Bongiovi echoed the lifelong commitment in his caption, writing, “Forever and always, your husband.”
An intimate romance
The young couple’s relationship has been in the public eye since they first connected on Instagram in 2021. What began as an online friendship soon blossomed into something more. In interviews, Brown revealed that they “were friends for a bit” before officially beginning to date later that year. By April 2023, the two had announced their engagement, with both sharing matching posts on social media to mark the milestone.
Their wedding venue, Villa Cetinale, is a 17th-century estate known for its lush gardens and Baroque architecture, making it a favorite location for couples seeking a romantic, intimate backdrop. The secluded nature of the estate helped the couple maintain privacy during their celebration in May, away from the media spotlight that often surrounds them.
Jon Bon Jovi’s presence
A notable presence at the ceremony was Jon Bon Jovi, who attended to support his son on his big day. Despite being a global music icon, Jon has remained private about his family life, but his appearance in Bongiovi’s Instagram post warmed fans’ hearts. The father-son bond was evident in the photo, with Jon standing proudly beside his son.
