Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about her engagement to Jake Bongiovi as she revealed the special meaning behind her massive engagement ring.
The Stranger Things star, 19, surprised fans when she announced back in April that she will be tying the knot with the 21-year-old son of rockstar Jon Bon Jovi. She's now shared intimate details of the proposal and revealed how he chose the perfect ring for her.
Millie explained how Jake had asked her mother, Kelly Brown, for help with ring shopping. Afterwards, she gave him one of her own which she knew her daughter already loved. "I've always loved that ring, it's always stuck out to me, so she gave it to Jake. They were in cahoots about the whole proposal," Millie explained.
