Millie Bobby Brown Announces Engagement to Jake Bongiovi
Millie Bobby Brownis engaged! After three amazing years of courtship, it seems as though time has come to a standstill after the actor dropped a subtle yet gorgeous picture in black and white with a diamond standing out on her ring finger with Jake Bongiovi at her back. The couple, as happy as in any other picture, have yet to make the announcement official through a message but as they say: pictures say a thousand words.

However, the fans who have followed the star over the years that they have spent together, walking down the red carpets hand-in-hand, and posting blurry yet visibly content images on social media at appropriately moderate intervals, are having some difficulty coming to terms with Brown’s decision. This has resulted in a comical situation on Twitter over the discourse of the actor’s engagement.

She’s 19. She’s old enough to make her own life changing decisions. If she’s happy, she’s happy. That’s what’s important. 🙂
