Who Is Jake Bongiovi?
Jake Bongiovi is an American actor and model best known as the son of rock icon Jon Bon Jovi and the husband of actress Millie Bobby Brown.[1] Born Jacob Hurley Bongiovi, he grew up in a prominent New Jersey family before moving into the entertainment world on his own terms.[1]
While his early public profile was tied closely to his famous last name, he has increasingly attracted attention for his work in film, fashion, and public appearances with Brown.[1] His story today is shaped as much by his emerging career and new role as a father as by his family legacy.
Relationship and Wedding with Millie Bobby Brown
Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement in April 2023, sharing romantic photos that confirmed months of speculation.[1] They legally married in a small, private ceremony in May 2024, surrounded by close family members.[1][2]
Later that year, the couple held a larger celebration in Italy, where singer RAYE performed Frank Sinatra classics for Brown’s father–daughter dance.[2] Brown also revealed that she and Bongiovi learned a choreographed six-minute dance to a medley from *Grease*, turning their first dance into an "epic" moment that guests remembered.[2][3]
Parenthood and Life Today
In August 2025, Bongiovi and Brown announced that they had adopted a baby girl, sharing that they had welcomed their daughter earlier in the summer.[1][2] They expressed excitement about this new chapter while asking for privacy to raise their child away from constant public attention.[1]
Brown has since spoken about their decision not to reveal their daughter’s identity, underscoring concerns about security and the impact of fame on children.[2] Meanwhile, Bongiovi continues to support Brown’s career and pursue his own projects, presenting a united, family-focused image as they balance high-profile work with a deliberately private home life.[1][3]
