Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake Bongiovi, has been making headlines recently for his flourishing acting career and high-profile relationship with British actress Millie Bobby Brown.
The 21-year-old son of the iconic rock star has certainly carved out a path of his own in the entertainment industry.
Born in 2002, Jake grew up in the picturesque state of New Jersey, following in his famous father’s footsteps. Despite being born in Florida, the Bongiovi family resided in a mansion on 15 acres by the Navesink River in Middleton, NJ. Jake attended Pennington High School, where he played football and even had his dad cheering him on during a senior night game back in 2019.
One of the standout moments in Jake’s high school years was his participation in planning a walkout in response to the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida, back in 2018. The protest called for stricter gun control and a safer environment for students, showcasing Jake’s passion for activism inspired by his family’s philanthropic efforts.
After high school, Jake decided to pursue his passion for acting, enrolling in Syracuse University’s acting program. However, he didn’t return after his freshman year as he had already landed some significant acting gigs. In 2024, Jake made his big-screen debut in the comedy film “Rockbottom,” where he played the lead singer of a hair metal band from the ’80s. He also secured a role in the comedy “Sweethearts” alongside Kiernan Shipka.
Aside from his acting career, Jake is also known for his relationship with Millie Bobby Brown, starting in 2021. The couple made their engagement official in 2023, with Jake receiving his father’s blessing for their upcoming nuptials. Bon Jovi expressed his support for the couple, emphasizing the importance of finding the right partner to grow together with.
With a promising acting career on the rise and a blossoming romance, Jake Bongiovi is set to make a name for himself in Hollywood, all while navigating the spotlight with the guidance and support of his famous family.
