Bon Jovi Family Bombshell: Rock Legend and Wife Dorothea Secretly ‘Adore’ Millie Bobby Brown—Stranger Things Star Wins Hearts as “Truly Wonderful” Daughter-in-Law! Inside the Surprising Bond, Family Secrets, and What Really Happened Behind Closed Doors—Hollywood and Music Worlds Stunned by Unlikely, Heartwarming Twist!
Millie Bobby Brown has been heaping praise on her father-in-law Jon Bon Jovi recently and a source exclusively tells Life & Style the feeling’s mutual, as the rock legend brags how he and equally-impressed wife Dorothy Hurley have hit the jackpot with their dream daughter-in-law.
“Jon adores Millie, and not just because she makes Jake so happy, he thinks she’s a truly wonderful young lady with her head screwed on right,” the insider says.
On the March 12 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the Stranger Things alum discussed her marriage to Jake Bongiovi and gushed about how much she treasures him and his family. The two got hitched in May 2024, when Millie was just 20, after first being linked romantically in June 2021. Though, despite being young, the Damsel star, now 21, felt 100 percent certain Jake, 22, was the one.
“We’ve been together for four years. When we moved in together, we had dogs together, and we were taking care of our animals, and we started living this day-to-day life, I thought, ‘Oh, I really don’t think I could ever see you as anything else. I don’t want to be with anyone else ever again. I don’t want to date, I don’t want to meet anyone, I want you,” she told host Alexandra Cooper.
Millie added they agreed on almost every big issue when it comes to relationships, another green flag for her to go ahead with the nuptials.

“When we started talking about politics and how we want to raise our kids, we started talking about really, really big things that I’ve never spoken about, and I’m already very young, so I’ve never spoken about that with boys anyway,” she said. “But to be able to even think about those things, I was like, ‘S–t. Maybe I do want to be with him forever.’ I didn’t know if he felt that way. We talked about marriage, but I didn’t really know when it was going to be. When he proposed, it made sense. Everything aligned.”
Not only does Millie’s philosophy align with her husband’s, but Jon, 63, and wife of 35-years Dorothea, 62, love the fact the young actress is as grounded as she is.
“He and Dorothea are all about helping and giving back to the community so the fact that Millie has started her own animal rescue that she’s totally devoted to has scored huge points with them,” the source continues. “They’re not the type to put a whole lot of stock in the Hollywood thing but they also know how hard she works and how passionate she is about the projects she chooses, so they are definitely proud of her on that front, but more than anything they just love her for who she is.”
“Jon isn’t the type to push his opinions on anyone but if Millie ever needs advice, he’s always there for her to offer guidance and support. They have a very sweet relationship that’s about as good as it gets for in-laws.”
