1. Who Is Millie Bobby Brown's Boyfriend?

His full name is Jacob Hurley Bongiovi, but he goes by Jake for short. If his last name sounds familiar, it’s probably because he’s the son of Jon Bon Jovi. (NBD.) Bongiovi is a student at Syracuse University, where he plays on the football team.

Shortly after, they were spotted showing PDA in New York City. The pair held hands as they walked down the street, while Bongiovi carried Brown’s dog, Winnie, in a large tote bag.

Later that year, Bongiovi posted another picture on Instagram—but this time, it featured himself and Brown on a CCTV camera. A few days later, he shared another photo of the couple enjoying teatime. The caption read, “We’re starting a band send name ideas.”

In November 2021, Brown made their relationship Instagram official by posting a blurry pic of the couple embracing on the London Eye. In the snap, Brown is wrapping her arms around Bongiovi’s neck, while her boyfriend plants a kiss on her cheek. She simply captioned the post with two emojis: a ferris wheel and eyes.
