The 19-year-old Jake Bongiovi and the 17-year-old Stranger Things star’s engagement announcement on social media was met with a mixed reaction, with some questioning the age difference and others voicing support.
In an interview with People Magazine, Jon Bon Jovi addressed the criticism and defended his son’s relationship. He stated that his son is a good man who loves his girlfriend and that the couple has the support of their families.

The engagement news was first shared by Millie Bobby Brown on her Instagram account, where she posted a photo of her and Bongiovi with the caption “LYLAS,” which stands for “love you like a sister.” Bongiovi also shared a photo of the couple on his own Instagram, with the caption “I’m the luckiest man in the world to marry my best friend.”
