Millie Bobby Brown Kept It Coy With An Instagram Post
On Tuesday morning, Brown posted a photo of her and Bongiovi, who was initially linked back in mid-2021, embracing near a body of water.
In her caption, she wrote, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” For context, this is a line from a Taylor Swift song called “Lover.”
Of course, we must also point out the ring Brown donned on her left hand.
As a result, many interpreted this post as an engagement announcement, and Instagram pages for entities like MTV and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon shared congratulatory messages in the comment section.
Bongiovi also shared photos on his page and captioned the post, “Forever.”

Given her young age, many shared that they couldn’t imagine settling down at just 19.

She's 19. You do you sis but I was a mess at 19. Getting married would have been at the bottom of my list at that point. https://t.co/jMzDYIcrV1

However, others noted that since the couple has been dating “for a few years” and appears to be “very happy,” their engagement shouldn’t be a big deal.
In fact, as they’re only 19 and 20 years old, one person proclaimed, “Let the crazy kids be in love.”
Been dating a guy for a few years, very happy. the masses are losing their mind bc She's 19 .. Really? Jesus we need a strong plague . Just bc you were fucked up at that age, doesnt mean everyone is.. theres more important things to worry about https://t.co/xbKMioBpbw

Everyone saying "she's 19" and not his age so I got scared. But he's 20 (whew). So it's chill. Let the crazy kids be in love. https://t.co/7yDDATooHf

People also attempted to shut down critics by noting that Millie Bobby Brown’s situation is way different than others who get engaged at a young age.
yall saying how Millie Bobby Brown is too young to get engaged cause she's 19 while saying that's why your marriage failed
she's rich, your broke ass isn't and probably ran away from home with no support afterwards

Humorously, others joked that they were glad to know that Nick Cannon and Leonardo DiCaprio had nothing to do with why “She’s 19” was trending.
