Millie Bobby Brown Reveals Unconventional Ocean Proposal on “The Tonight Show”

During a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” actress Millie Bobby Brown shared the extraordinary story of her engagement to fiancé Jake Bongiovi. The 20-year-old star, known for her role in “Stranger Things,” recounted the unique proposal, which took place underwater during a diving excursion.

Brown disclosed to Fallon that she and Bongiovi share a passion for diving, having obtained their diving licenses together. The unexpected proposal unfolded while the couple was on vacation, with Bongiovi surprising Brown with an early morning dive. Despite initial reluctance due to the early hour, Brown found herself immersed in an unforgettable moment many meters below the surface.

As they explored the ocean depths, Bongiovi presented Brown with a shell containing a ring, prompting a heartwarming and nearly surreal exchange underwater. Unable to communicate verbally with their oxygen masks on, Bongiovi managed to place the ring on Brown’s finger, only for it to slip off and plummet toward the ocean floor.

In a cinematic turn of events, Bongiovi heroically dove after the ring, defying warnings from the diving instructor. With a daring underwater grab, he rescued the ring, ensuring the proposal’s happy ending. Brown expressed admiration for Bongiovi’s bravery and described the moment as a testament to their mutual support and resilience.

Upon resurfacing, Bongiovi revealed the backstory behind the ring, explaining that it was a replacement for Brown’s mother’s ring, which she had declined to take underwater. Brown’s mother’s intuition proved correct, sparing the ring from potential loss in the ocean depths.

The engagement, announced in April 2023, marks a milestone in the relationship between Brown and Bongiovi, the son of legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi. As they embark on their journey toward marriage, the couple continues to capture hearts with their enchanting love story.

Fans eagerly await Brown’s upcoming Netflix film “Damsel,” set to premiere on March 8, as the actress navigates both her professional and personal life with grace and charm.
