Who is Jake Bongiovi, Millie Bobby Brown’s new boyfriend? Jon Bon Jovi’s teen son studies at Syracuse, led a student protest and hung out with US Democratic Senator Cory Booker
- Millie Bobby Brown – star of Netflix’s Stranger Things and Enola Holmes – and Jake Bongiovi sparked dating rumours after publicly holding hands in New York
- Jake is more than just a rock star’s son: he played football in high school and led a student protest in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting
Speculations about their relationship were already rife when fans noticed that they were actively commenting on each other’s posts on social media. Then, they fuelled the rumours further and even seemed to confirm that they are indeed dating when they were spotted in New York holding hands. According to Elle, Bongiovi was seen carrying Brown’s dog, Winnie, in a tote bag.
There’s no need for an introduction as Bongiovi’s last name speaks for itself (the singer born John Francis Bongiovi Jr. tweaked his stage name to Jon Bon Jovi pre-fame). But besides being the son of a famous musician and being romantically linked to 17-year-old Brown, what else is there to know about Jake Bongiovi?
Millie and Jake seem to have spent plenty of time together
Before their public appearance, Bongiovi’s posts on Instagram seemed to indicate that he and Brown have spent plenty of time in each other’s company. When he posted a photo of himself sitting cosily on a sofa inside a flat, he captioned it, “all smiles here”. Brown commented, “creds pls”.
The pair caught fans’ attention again when Bongiovi posted a picture of him and Brown and wrote “bff <3”. Brown responded, “BFF” with a unicorn emoji.
