The Stranger Things star and Bongiovi — who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley — were first linked in the summer of 2021. The couple met via Instagram and were friends before they pursued a romance.

After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side.”
Brown went on to say that it was hard to “pinpoint” exactly how she knew Bongiovi was perfect for her, but she had no doubts about their relationship. “It’s just the feeling of knowing that that’s the person you want to spend the rest of your life with,” she continued. “I think so much of life is overthinking.
