Sure we know her as Eleven from the huge hit Stranger Things, and it’s a little hard to separate that phenomenal character and Millie Bobby Brown‘s crazy good acting from real life, but Brown is a person just like the rest of us. And like the rest of us, she wants to have a normal relationship.
Maybe normal isn’t the right word, however, because Brown is dating the son of a rock star. That’s right, Brown’s boyfriend is none other than Jake Bongiovi, son of rock superstar John Francis Bongiovi Jr., perhaps better known as Jon Bon Jovi. Before we get into how long they’ve been dating, let’s take a look at the younger Bongiovi and what he’s all about.
Who is Jake Bongiovi?
Bongiovi is 19 years old and a student at Syracuse University, where he was accepted in 2020. He said he wants to get a doctorate but he’s also an actor. According to nj.com, Bongiovi is an activist and fairly involved with social issues.
In 2018, he was part of a national high school walkout in response to gun violence and a school shooting in parkland, Florida.
“It’s enough. It’s happened too many times that we watch it,” he said. “And we cannot let it go away this time.”
