Transcript

00:00 When you know, you know. Millie Bobby Brown is getting candid about her love story with fiancé

00:06 Jake Bon Jovi. The Stranger Things star opened up in an interview with the Sunday Times,

00:11 published on August 27, about her early relationship with Jon Bon Jovi's son

00:16 and how it didn't take long to realize she'd found the one, telling the UK paper,

00:20 "I was interested in him and wanted to know more. As soon as we spoke, I knew he was going to be a

00:26 huge part of my life. I ran to my mom and said, 'I really, really like him.' After we met,

00:32 we knew we never wanted to leave each other's side." Millie went on to reflect on the confidence

00:37 she felt about her and Jake's instant connection and why she didn't question her commitment, adding,

00:42 "You can't pinpoint why, it's just the feeling of knowing that that's the person you want to

00:46 spend the rest of your time with. I think so much of life is overthinking. The one thing that made

00:51 clear sense to me was him." Millie and Jake confirmed their engagement in April 2023,

00:57 and Instagram followers loved getting a peek at her stunning sparkler. The British actress told

01:02 the Times that the jewelry had belonged to her mother, who helped make sure it stayed in their

01:06 family in a special way, sharing, "I've always loved that ring. It's always stuck out to me,

01:12 so she gave it to Jake. They were in cahoots about the whole proposal. I love that I can

01:16 always keep a piece of my mom with me." Millie's mom isn't the only future in-law who gave her and

01:22 Jake's union the seal of approval, of course. The groom's famous dad is also on board. Rocker

01:27 John told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's Radio Andy weeks after the couple's engagement announcement

01:33 that he couldn't be more thrilled to see his son so happy. "Millie's wonderful. Her whole family

01:38 are great. Really, really great. Jake is very, very happy." Millie has said that her own parents'

01:44 long marriage has set a good example for her, and Jake has a similar family background,

01:49 with John and wife Dorothea having been high school sweethearts. And John explained why he

01:53 isn't concerned about 19-year-old Millie and 20-year-old Jake heading down the aisle relatively

01:58 young. "Do you worry as a dad about how old or how young they are?" "I mean, age matters,

02:04 you know, if you find the right partner and you grow together. I think that would be,

02:10 my advice really is growing together is wise. Growing together. I think that all of my kids

02:16 have found the people that they think they can grow together with and we like them all."

02:21 Millie has a major milestone coming up in her professional life, too. The Enola Holmes star

02:26 will say goodbye to Stranger Things when the Netflix hit wraps its upcoming fifth and final

02:31 season. In 2022, Millie told Access Hollywood about the show's impact on her and her castmates.

02:38 "It's definitely impacted our lives so much. We have graduated on this show and we've met each

02:48 other. We've been friends for over seven years and it's been an experience of a lifetime.

02:56 There's lots of personal growth and there's lots of professional growth, skills that we have adapted

03:04 with the amazing people we've worked with along the way. Those are things that you'll never forget."
