Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi may have met in the most Gen Z of ways, but their courtship quickly took a turn for the old-fashioned.
After connecting on Instagram in 2021, “we were friends for a bit,” Millie shared in a November 2022 Wired interview. “And then, what can I say?”
Well, now their fans know that DMing led to FaceTiming, which led to finally meeting in person, with Jake extending the ancient chivalrous gesture of picking the Stranger Things star up from the airport.
“bff <3,” Jake captioned a June 3, 2021, photo of the pair, quite possibly having just left an arrival terminal.
And now they’re married and share a farm in Georgia!
The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony last May, then threw an elegant bash in Tuscany in September that involved four outfit changes for the bride. Millie walked down the aisle in custom couture by Galia Lahav, swapped it for vintage Valentino (circa 1993) for more photos, then slipped into an an Oscar de la Renta gown for cake-cutting and a Vivienne Westwood minidress for dancing.
“the year of mrs bongiovi,” she captioned a Dec. 31 video montage to close out 2024 on Instagram.
Which, of course, is where it all began.
