Millie Bobby Brown is engaged to boyfriend Jake Bongiovi

Millie Bobby Brown is engaged to boyfriend Jake Bongiovi after two years of dating, sharing a very special announcement post on social media. 

The Stranger Things star has started trending on Twitter for the phrase "she is 19" after fans are surprised that she has found her "forever" partner.

Mille, 19, shared the caption - words to Taylor Swift's song Lover  - "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all," to confirm the news that she and Jake are betrothed. 

Meanwhile, Jake, who is the son of music legend John Bon Jovi, shared two snaps on his Instagram and simply captioned them "forever".

And fans have inundated Millie and Jake with well wishes, flooding the comment section of their announcement posts.

One fan wrote, "Congratulations Millie always the best and the most beautiful actor."

Another added, "Congrats, all the best prayers and wishes for you both may you shower with love, happiness, and blessing starting from the day you decide to take forever as a definition of your love story."

But some followers have criticized Millie's age, claiming that she is too young to tie the knot. 

One wrote, "Too young for marriage, too young engagement."

One fan defended her, and told the haters, "You guys need to keep your opinions to your self like shut up no one really cares about oh she’s 19 yes she’s 19 she’s an adult she can make her own choices."

Jake is the son of singer Jon Bon Jovi and met Millie back in 2021 and the pair started dating after meeting online.

Speaking about their romance during a WIRED YouTube segment, Millie said, "We were friends for a bit...and then, what can I say?"

The couple confirmed their romance with a blurry photo of them both sharing a tight embrace on the London Eye in November 2021 and weeks later they spent their first holiday season together in New York.

For Millie's 18th birthday they dressed up in cosplay as Barbie and Ken before making their red carpet debut together at the British Academy Film Awards in March 2022.

After a few holidays together the couple walked the red carpet at the Stranger Things 4 premiere.

Millie rose to fame as a child star, landing a role in Netflix show Stranger Things when she was just 12 years old and has starred in the franchise ever since, playing the role of Eleven.
