Millie Bobby Brown’s birthday tribute is an eleven out of 10.
The 21-year-old celebrated her husband Jake Bongiovi’s 23rd birthday with a carousel of throwback pics, , including one snap that showed Millie paying tribute to the actor in an NSFW place.
In a photo shared to Instagram May 7, the Stranger Things actress posed next to her partner while donning a plunging white, spaghetti-strapped top covered in dazzling sequins. And to top off the sizzling look, the shirt included a black heart and her husband’s initials written across her right breast.
For his part, Jake—whose parents are musician Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Hurley—wore a white linen button-down shirt with the word “Hubby” embroidered above his left breast pocket. He also donned a pair of round sunglasses and a backward white baseball cap.
And that was just one way Millie honored her partner for the special occasion. Other pictures in the carousel included playful selfies of the pair, such as the one from a self-checkout counter and another of Millie lazily sleeping while Jake smiled in the background.
“Happy birthday hubby,” the Electric State star captioned the post. “There’s no one like you.”
Millie’s heartwarming birthday tribute is not the only time she has shared her love for Jake, with whom she tied the knot in May 2024. In fact, she recently reflected on the moment she realized her husband was the one.
“We had dogs together and we were taking care of our animals and we started living this day-to-day life,” Millie told Alex Cooper on the March 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. “I thought, ‘Oh, I really don’t think I could ever see you as anything else. I don’t wanna be with anyone else ever again. I don’t wanna date, I don’t wanna meet anyone. Like, I want you.'”
And beyond their daily life together, Millie also found the pair connected on a deeper level.
“When we started talking about politics and how we wanna raise our kids and we start talking about really, really bigger things that I’d never spoken about,” she continued. “I’ve never spoken about that with boys anyway. But to be able to even think about those things, I was like, ‘S–t. OK, maybe I do wanna be with you forever.'”
