BREAKING: Millie Bobby Brown, 20, Files for Divorce from Husband Jake Bongiovi, 21, Less Than 1 Year After Private Wedding — “I Have Big Dreams… We Were Too Young and in Love and Rushed Things, Which Was Because I Was Expecting…”

In a stunning development that has shocked fans and sent social media into a frenzy, actress Millie Bobby Brown, 20, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 21, just under six months after their closely guarded private wedding earlier this year.

According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets late Tuesday evening, Brown submitted the divorce papers in Los Angeles County, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the sudden split.

The news comes as a surprise to many, as the young couple — who tied the knot in a quiet ceremony surrounded by close family — had appeared deeply in love, frequently sharing affectionate moments on social media and during public outings.

However, in a heartfelt personal statement released shortly after the news broke, Brown addressed the painful decision:

> “Jake will always have a place in my heart, but the truth is — we were too young and in love and rushed things. I have big dreams, a growing career, and a personal journey I’m still discovering. And yes, part of our rush to marry came from a moment of joy — I was expecting.”

The “Stranger Things” star, who has spent nearly a decade in the spotlight, went on to reveal that she had experienced a private miscarriage earlier this year, shortly after the wedding.

> “It was a whirlwind. We thought building a family together would be our next chapter, but life had other plans. After the loss, we both changed. We’re still grieving in our own ways,” Brown continued.

Jake Bongiovi — son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi — has not yet publicly commented on the divorce but was seen arriving solo at a charity gala in New York just hours before the news broke. Sources close to the Bongiovi family describe the situation as “heartbreaking but amicable.”

An insider familiar with the couple’s relationship said:

> “They loved each other deeply, but they were navigating adult decisions at a very young age. They tried counseling and time apart, but in the end, they realized they were growing in different directions.”

Brown, who recently wrapped filming on her latest Netflix production and is set to launch a new line of eco-conscious beauty products, is said to be focusing on “healing, work, and the next chapter.” She ended her statement with a message to fans:

> “Please don’t see this as a failure. Jake and I shared something real, and that love taught me so much. I’ll always be grateful for him, for the moments we had, and for the strength I’ve found in moving forward.”

The couple first began dating in 2021 and quickly became a Gen Z power couple — admired for their sweet, supportive bond. Their wedding in early 2025 was kept intentionally low-key, with only a few paparazzi shots confirming the union.

Fans and celebrities alike have taken to social media to offer messages of support, with the hashtag #WeLoveYouMillie trending within hours.

While the news is undeniably somber, many are praising Brown for her honesty and vulnerability in sharing a deeply personal story — one that reminds the world that even in the spotlight, young hearts can break, heal, and grow.
