Jon Bon Jovi approves of his son Jake Bongiovi’s engagement to Millie Bobby Brown.
Jake announced his plans to marry the ‘Stranger Things’ star last year, and his famous father has now spoken out about the relationship and given his approval – comparing the young couple’s love to his own romance with his wife Dorothea, who was his high school sweetheart before they married in 1989.
Bon Jovi told The Times newspaper: “I’ve gotten to know her over the past year, she works very hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way. It’s an accelerated version of what I I lived 40 years ago and I think with the support of their family they will be great together.”
The “Enola Holmes” actress recently opened up about how Jake’s proposal nearly ended in disaster After he popped the question while they were diving on vacation.
During her appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ Millie revealed: “We went underwater, several feet deep, and he gave me a seashell. I turned it over. and it was a ring.”
The couple looked at each other but couldn’t hear what the other was saying, so Millie had to make a gesture of acceptance.
After “freaking out” about getting engaged, Jake put the ring on Millie’s finger, and that’s when disaster struck and Millie dropped the jewelry. Fortunately, his fiancé was quick to pick him up.
