In her first appearance in Stranger Things, back in 2016, Millie Bobby Brown already promised to become a real star. The very young actress, 20 years old, has already starred in several productions, such as Enola Holmes or Damsel, and promises to be one of the next big Hollywood stars. That is why each of her movements is followed with a magnifying glass. The news of her engagement to her partner, Jake Bongiovi, son of singer Jon Bon Jovi, went around the world. Now, the actress has revealed what the proposal for her hand was like.
The news of the engagement surprised many, due to the young age of both. Then she was 19, and he was 20. Nearly twelve months have passed since that moment in which the son of the legendary Bon Jovi asked the British woman for her hand. Now, thanks to her, we know in detail what the moment was like when the young man took a knee. And he did it in a most original way. This was detailed by Millie on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Late Show.
The actress revealed what the day of the request was like. “We love diving. We got our diving licenses together. One day, we were on vacation and he told me: ‘Mill, you have to be awake at eight in the morning. Let’s go diving,'” the young woman began explaining. “We dived many meters to the bottom and he gave me a shell that he opened and there was a ring,” the actress continued explaining.
The actress remembered the moment with a smile from ear to ear. As she herself explained, when that happened, she was ready to say ‘I love you’, but then only bubbles came out due to the depth at which they were. “Then I looked at him and started babbling,” the interpreter said, laughing. However, the situation ended up turning into chaos.
“He put the ring in my hand and when I went to show it to him the ring slipped off my finger and started plummeting very quickly,” the actress explained. It was then that Bon Jovi’s son was not willing to let gravity ruin his request, and he dove directly into the depths. “It was like a movie. Jake dove in, really deep,” she said.
However, that scene captivated the actress, who considers that her partner’s performance is “a reflection of who he is” and made her understand that always “if someone drops the ball, we will catch them.” Once they returned to shore, Bongiovi asked her to marry him again. And she did it with the real ring, since the young man proposed to her in the water with a replica. “My mother told him, ‘Of course not, Jake, you’re not going to wear my ring there. You’re going to drop it,'” Millie ended up saying, laughing, knowing that her mother was right then.
