  • Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown recently announced that she was engaged.

  • Her husband-to-be? Jake Bongiovi, son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi.

  • The duo celebrated their milestone with an outdoor photo shoot.


You know, every one in a while, a news story comes along that can make two different generations feel old in one fell swoop. Well, the latest"celebrity engagement"story generating buzz will surely bring Gen-Zers and Gen-Xers together to feel the cold, creeping grip of the passage of time. And it doesn't even have any dope engagement swords to take our minds off it.

Okay, are y'all ready for this?

  • Hey, Zoomers: Millie Bobby Brown, a.k.a. Eleven from Stranger Things, is now 19 and freshly engaged.

  • Hey Gen-X: Jon Bon Jovi's son is now 21, old enough to drink and—evidently—get married to Eleven from Stranger Things.

How do we all feel about this?

That's right: the Stranger Things star is engaged to the son of the Slippery When Wet singer. The lead of Enola Holmes will soon be the daughter-in-law of the "Who Says You Can't Go Home" vocalist. Madison Russell from Godzilla: King of the Monsters may get a wedding serenade of "King of the Mountain" from Bon Jovi's not-very-good 1985 album 7800° Fahrenheit.

The pair recently celebrated their engagement, as seen in in Instagram post made by Millie Bobby Brown's stylist, Buster Knight (which, we can all agree, is just a fantastic name for anybody to have):

Standing before a cute neon sign that reads "Mr. and Mrs. Bongiovi," fiancé Jake rocked a slick green suit, while Brown telegraphed a future bridal look with a wedding-white lace outfit.

Jake's father reportedly weighed in on the youthful engagement a few weeks back, stating, "I don't know if age matters if you find the right partner and you grow together." And the rock star should know—he's been married to his wife, Dorothea Hurley, since 1989!
