Millie Bobby Brown Reveals Jake Bongiovi’s Proposed Underwater
In an enchanting twist, Millie Bobby Brown, the talented star of “Stranger Things,” has shared the heartwarming story of how her fiancé, Jake Bongiovi, proposed to her underwater. The engagement took place during a diving adventure, adding a splash of romance to their love story.
Millie Bobby Brown Reveals Jake Bongiovi Proposed Underwater
“One day, we were on vacation and he was like, ‘Mill, you got to be up at 8:00 a.m. We’re going on a dive.’ And I was like, ‘8:00 a.m. dive?’” Brown recalled on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show. “And he’s telling me like, ‘We’re going to the same spot we usually go to.’ I’m like, ‘It’s boring. Let’s go somewhere new.’ He’s like, ‘No, we have to go to this spot.’”
She explained that the pair were “many meters down” when Bongiovi suddenly handed her a shell with a ring in it. “And I looked at him and he was like, ‘Blulululu!’” she said, before miming being confused by Bongiovi’s underwater bubble speech.
Brown also revealed that saying yes to his proposal was even more complicated, because a traditional thumbs-up means that you want to ascend when diving.
“So that, technically, would mean, ‘No, I don’t want to marry you. I want to go up.’ So I was like, ‘Okay,’” she said. “I think it was underwhelming, but we freaked out.”
Then the couple freaked out for a very different reason. “He puts the ring on my hand and, as I go to show him, the ring falls off my finger [and] plummets — like, so fast, it was like a cinematic movie,” she said. “Jake threw himself so deep the diver was like, ‘You can’t do that! Your ears! Literally, your brain will explode!’ He throws himself. He does a cinematic grab, opens, and he saved the ring.”
Bonding Over Diving: Millie and Jake share a passion for diving, and their connection deepened as they explored the underwater world together. They even obtained their diving licenses side by side.
Communication Challenges: Unable to speak underwater, Jake used hand signals to convey his intentions. A thumbs-up meant “up,” but Millie humorously interpreted it as a rejection: “No, I don’t want to marry you; I want to go up!”
The Dramatic Moment: As Jake placed the ring on Millie’s finger, disaster struck—the ring slipped off and plummeted. In a cinematic twist, Jake dove deep to retrieve it, defying diving safety rules.

Jake’s Heroic Save:
Brown noted that she considered Bongiovi’s superb rescue mission to be “a reflection of who he is,” adding, “I feel like we’re always going to have each other’s back and if anyone drops the ball, we got it. So there we go.”
When the newly engaged couple returned to the surface, Brown said Bongiovi asked her to marry him for a second time with a family heirloom.
“He was like, ‘You know, I bought you this ring because your mum wouldn’t let me take her ring’ — which is the one I’m wearing, this is my mum’s ring,” she said, showing off her ring to the camera. “My mom was like, ‘Absolutely not, Jake. You’re not taking my ring down there. I know you’ll drop it.’ And sure enough, I did.”
She continued, “So when we got up on the boat… he’s like, ‘This is your mum’s ring and I got it from your parents.’ And it was very magical. And his parents were there and we just looked so disheveled coming out from a dive. We were like, ‘We’re engaged, but also we have to tell you this crazy story that just happened.’”
Brown announced her engagement to Bongiovi, an aspiring actor, last April by sharing a photo on Instagram of them embracing one another with a ring on her finger. Referencing Taylor Swift’s song “Lover,” she captioned the post, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey. I want ‘em all.”
Millie believes Jake’s actions reflect their unwavering support for each other. Their bond ensures that neither will falter, even when faced with unexpected challenges.
A Mother’s Veto:
After Jake’s heroic rescue, they resurfaced, and Jake officially proposed. Millie said “yes,” but there’s a twist: Jake had initially asked Millie’s mother for permission to use her ring for the proposal. Her mother’s response? “Absolutely not, Jake.”
“The Brothers Sun” star Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s underwater engagement is a testament to their adventurous spirits and unbreakable bond. As they prepare for their future together, the memory of that fateful dive will forever be etched in their hearts.
