However, they seem to be a happy couple. On Instagram, Bongiovi shared photos of the couple along with the caption “Forever”.
In November, Brown said she met her fiance online. She told Wired, “We met on Instagram and were friends for a while, and then…”
The couple made their red carpet debut together at the 2022 BAFTA Awards in March last year.
While Bongiovi is the son of famed rocker Jon Bon Jovi, Brown is the better-known of the two, making him a member of showbiz aristocracy in his own right. Jake resembles his famous father growing up in a surprisingly similar way.
The “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer has four children with his wife, Dorothea Hurley. In 1989, he married Dorothea, his high school sweetheart.

Elle claimed Jake went to Poly Prep Country Day School.
Jake attended the University of Syracuse. In the Instagram photo, Jake was pictured with his excited parents dressed in Syracuse gear, and the rock star reportedly helped his child move in. However, Jake did not attend the institute for the second year.
