Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are known for keeping things private when it comes to their relationship. The pair tied the knot during a secret wedding in May 2024 after they got engaged in April 2023.
The young celebrity couple have previously shared their love and appreciation for each other, and now the actress has revealed the "important" step they took before deciding to marry in a stunning wedding in Italy.
The 20-year-old 'Stranger Things' star revealed to Vanity Fair that it was an "important decision" and explained that "loving someone and being in love are two different things", adding that she and Jake have always been "fully invested" in the relationship.
Apart from their love for each other, they wanted to make sure that their interests were aligned in different aspects. "We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want," she said to the publication.
"We were pretty united going into it," Millie continued. "It's such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him."
The actress also gave a glimpse at their relationship dynamic and explained that they both have a passion for "creating stories that ultimately empower people."
"Jake's passion is creating stories that ultimately empower people," she said. "He shares such a similar goal to me in that I want others to be able to watch my projects and feel empowered and feel like someone is rooting for them."
The couple has made headlines since they went public with their romance, but Millie had no "intention" of being a wife. "But after meeting Jake and seeing, 'Oh, I don't have to be this stereotypical wife for him'. He doesn't want me to be that either," she said to Glamour UK.
