Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown: The Latest Family Milestones
The biggest news in the Bongiovi household is undoubtedly the whirlwind romance and subsequent milestones of Jake Bongiovi and his wife, actress Millie Bobby Brown.
The couple, who began dating in 2021, shocked fans with a surprise intimate wedding ceremony in May 2024. Following their initial nuptials, they reportedly hosted a larger, second celebration in Tuscany, Italy, later that year, sharing photos that confirmed their status as a married couple.
However, the most heartwarming update came in the summer of 2025 when Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley officially became grandparents. Jake and Millie Bobby Brown announced the adoption of their baby girl, Blair, in August 2025. Jon Bon Jovi has spoken publicly about his joy, calling the experience "crazy, but great." This new role as a grandfather has added a deeply personal and joyful layer to the rock star's public life, shifting the focus from his decades-long career to his growing family legacy. The adoption highlights the couple's commitment to family and their desire to start their new life together as parents.
From Rock Star Daughter to Media Professional: Stephanie Rose Bongiovi's Career Path
Stephanie Rose Bongiovi, the only daughter, has chosen a career path that keeps her largely behind the camera, working in media production. While her early adult life was marked by a highly publicized incident—an overdose and arrest in 2012 that her father openly discussed—she has since focused on her professional development and maintaining a private life.
Stephanie attended Hamilton College and has built a resume working with some of the biggest names in television and digital media. Her professional experience includes roles as a camera operator for the popular show *Impractical Jokers* and gaining experience at *The Daily Show with Jon Stewart* and Vice Media LLC. Her decision to pursue a career in production, rather than music or acting, demonstrates a commitment to carving out her own identity separate from her father's fame, a sentiment Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea have always encouraged in their children.
Jesse Bongiovi: The Entrepreneurial Spirit Behind Hampton Water Wine
Jesse Bongiovi has successfully transitioned from the football field to the business world, establishing himself as a savvy entrepreneur. A 2017 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he played as a walk-on cornerback, Jesse's biggest venture is the co-founding of Hampton Water Wine.
The idea for the premium rosé wine brand came from a conversation between Jesse and his father. The name, a blend of the Hamptons lifestyle and the French term for water ("eau"), perfectly encapsulates the brand's sophisticated yet accessible image. Jon Bon Jovi is a collaborator and partner in the venture, but Jesse is the driving force behind the business operations and marketing strategy. Hampton Water has seen tremendous success, becoming a highly-rated and top-selling rosé, which highlights Jesse's business acumen and the strong working relationship he maintains with his famous father.
Romeo Jon Bongiovi: The Private Life of the Youngest Son
Romeo Jon Bongiovi, the youngest of the Bongiovi siblings, is the most private member of the family. Born in 2004, Romeo turned 21 in March 2025. Unlike his older brothers, who have pursued high-profile careers in acting and business, Romeo has largely kept out of the public eye.
While he has occasionally attended red carpet events with his parents and siblings, his focus remains on his education and personal life. His quiet demeanor is a testament to the Bongiovi family's successful efforts to provide their children with a sense of normalcy despite their father's global celebrity. As he navigates his early twenties, Romeo's low-key profile suggests a preference for a life away from the entertainment industry's intense scrutiny, a choice fully supported by his parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley.
The Enduring Legacy of the Bongiovi Family
The lives of Jon Bon Jovi’s four children—Stephanie Rose, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo—demonstrate a powerful blend of individual ambition and familial support. From Jesse's entrepreneurial success with Hampton Water Wine to Jake's high-profile marriage to Millie Bobby Brown and the recent joy of welcoming baby Blair in 2025, the Bongiovi family continues to evolve. Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley’s commitment to their children has resulted in a new generation that is forging its own path, proving that the greatest legacy a rock star can leave is not just his music, but a grounded and thriving family.
