In a candid revelation, Bon Jovi has shared his perspective on his son’s recent engagement to Millie Bobby Brown at the age of 20. As someone who met his own high school sweetheart at 18 and has been happily married for 34 years, the rock icon offers a unique insight into young love and commitment.
The most important thing is to discover the right person.
In a recent radio interview, the music icon was questioned about his thoughts on his 20-year-old son Jake’s quick decision to tie the knot with a 19-year-old Stranger Things actress. When asked if he had any reservations, Jon responded by saying that age may not be a determining factor. Instead, he advised that finding the right partner and growing together was more important in the long run.
His son is following the same path as him.
The singer of “It’s My Life” has been in a committed relationship with his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, for over 30 years. In 1989, the couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
In addition to Jake, the couple has a daughter and two other sons, and now three out of their four children are engaged. The father expressed his pride by stating that all of his children have found partners with whom they believe they can evolve together, and he approves of them all.
The epitome of young romance.
In the previous month, Jake popped the question to Millie and surprised her with a breathtaking diamond ring worth an estimated value of $75,000 to $150,000. The couple used Instagram to announce their engagement, sharing an elegant black and white photo where Jake hugged his fiancée from behind, and she flaunted her stunning ring. In the caption, Millie expressed her affection for Jake, stating, “Honey, I’ve been loving you for three summers, and I want to continue loving you forever.” Despite their young age, their relationship seems to be sincere and profound. Millie’s choice of words indicates that their bond will remain strong for years to come.
