Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi plan 'huge' surprise for their second wedding in Italy

FLORENCE, ITALY: Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are gearing up for their second wedding, set to take place in the stunning city of Florence, Italy, this weekend.

According to The Sun, the 'Stranger Things' star and her fiance, Jake Bongiovi, the son of iconic musician Jon Bon Jovi, who quietly tied the knot in the US earlier this year, have also planned a 'huge' surprise for their posh ceremony.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's wedding festivities begin with family dinner in UK

Before heading to Italy for the grand celebration, the couple kicked off their wedding festivities in the UK with a stylish family dinner. 

A source told The Sun that the couple enjoyed a night filled with delicious food and unique drinks like lychee martinis and strawberry daiquiris.

The source added, “Millie and Jake kicked off their wedding celebration in style. They hired an area in Sheesh for dinner with their family, including Millie’s parents, Kelly and Robert.

“Their group was drinking lychee martinis and strawberry daiquiris, but didn’t go too mad as they had to fly to Italy.”

A second insider said: “Millie and Jake have booked a huge British singer to perform at the wedding. She was one of the biggest names in music this year and is a real favorite of theirs, so they are delighted she is flying over especially for them."

“Their first wedding in America in May was a very low-key ceremony. The second wedding is going to be huge,” the insider shared.

Unlike their intimate US wedding, this event is set to be a lavish affair with all their celebrity friends in attendance, including Brown's 'Stranger Things' co-stars and British friend Mark Wright, who are all expected to fly to Italy for the occasion.

Throwback to Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's fairytale engagement

Millie Bobby Brown, 20, and Jake Bongiovi, 22, have been together for over two years and got engaged in 2023.

The young couple’s engagement story is nothing short of magical—during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show', Brown revealed that Bongiovi proposed underwater, presenting her with a shell that contained the engagement ring.

Their first wedding in May was reportedly officiated by Matthew Modine, Brown's co-star from 'Stranger Things'.

Jon Bon Jovi confirmed the marriage, proudly saying, “They’re great. They’re absolutely fantastic.” He reflected on their intimate US ceremony, noting, “The bride looked gorgeous, and Jake was as happy as he could be.”

Shortly after their US wedding, Brown and Bongiovi were seen cruising in a Ford convertible with the top down, soaking in their newlywed bliss. The couple also enjoyed a fun getaway in Florida, visiting Universal Studios in Orlando while sporting casual, relaxed looks.

As Brown enjoys her milestones, she’s also been making waves professionally. In 2024, she starred in and executive produced Netflix’s 'Damsel', directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

Up next, she will appear in the highly anticipated film 'The Electric State', directed by the Russo brothers and based on Simon Stalenhag’s novel.
