Millie Bobby Brown shared a clever trick she pulled off before her wedding to Jake Bongiovi during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 11, 2025. The 21-year-old actress revealed that she outsmarted a nosy photographer by pretending to try on a decoy dress that was completely different from her actual wedding gown.
Brown recounted how she panicked when she thought the photographer might have seen her wedding dress through a glass window during a fitting. To throw the photographer off track, she quickly put on a contrasting dress, walked out pretending to be emotional, and successfully fooled the photographer into thinking she had found the perfect gown. Showing a video of her performance to Fallon, Brown joked about her acting skills during the elaborate charade.
The episode also touched upon Brown’s marriage to Jake Bongiovi, with Fallon praising her husband and Brown recalling how she asked her Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine to officiate the wedding. Despite initial doubts from Modine, he eventually agreed, and the wedding turned out to be a perfect day for Brown.
Reflecting on her wedding day, Brown described the moment she walked down the aisle as a real and pure experience, emphasizing the meaningfulness of the occasion. Brown and Bongiovi initially sparked romance rumors in 2021 and quietly tied the knot in 2024 before later celebrating with a grand Italian wedding.
During the ceremony, Brown donned a custom gown by Galia Lahav featuring elegant lace details. She completed her look with a sheer veil from Monvieve, opting for minimal jewelry and makeup. For the evening, she changed into a satin off-the-shoulder gown. Bongiovi, on the other hand, chose an ivory tuxedo jacket paired with black pants, a white shirt, and a black bow-tie. In a recent interview on the Smartless podcast, Brown discussed the possibility of expanding her family with Bongiovi. Despite her young age, she expressed her excitement about becoming a mother one day, citing her parents’ early start in parenthood as an influence.
