Known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, many fans of the series first met Millie Bobby Brown back in 2016 when she was just around 12 years old. Now, the actress is 19, and she just surprised the internet by seemingly announcing her engagement to Jake Bongiovi — her longtime boyfriend.
However, some who’ve just heard the news might be wondering: Who exactly is he?
As it turns out, he’s 20 years old and an actor as well. Oh, and if Bongiovi’s last name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the son of Jon Bon Jovi, from the band Bon Jovi. He’s the youngest of Bon Jovi’s four other children, younger than siblings Romeo, Jesse, and Stephanie. His parents have remained high school sweethearts — which might explain the replicated young love.
Bongiovi is also friends with other members of the Stranger Things cast, as he went to a Harry Styles concert with Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the Netflix series. Brown was also there, as her boyfriend (now fiancé) posed for Instagram snaps with them both.
During an interview, Brown revealed that the pair initially met on social media. “We met on Instagram, and we were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?” she said. The two would go on to make several red carpet appearances together throughout last year.
Congrats to the happy couple! Continue scrolling for some more cute social media snaps of Brown and Bongiovi.
After months of speculation, Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly set to unveil its new streaming service this week. Ever since its merger, the newly formed media conglomerate has signaled that it would somehow Frankenstein together HBO Max and Discovery+ into some sort of super app, and that day is quickly approaching. Soon, viewers will be able to watch House of the Dragon and Milf Manor all in one place.
As for the name of this streaming Voltron, WB Discovery is reportedly going with “Max,” which has been a top contender since the ambitious project was announced.
On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery executives will unveil plans for the new combined streaming service, bringing together classic HBO series like “The Sopranos” and “Succession” with Discovery series like “Dr. Pimple Popper” and “Fixer Upper.” The service will be called Max and debut in the next month or two, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.
The streaming service will cost roughly $16 a month — the price of HBO Max now — though there will be several price tiers, including a less expensive one with advertising, the people said.
As of this writing, there have been no details on how Max will affect current HBO Max subscribers who have access to that app thanks to their HBO cable subscription. Most likely that will be addressed during Wednesday’s big reveal, or that decision could remain in limbo like the time you couldn’t get HBO Max on Amazon Fire TV or Roku because all three companies were mad at each other. Making streaming apps is hard, folks.
During their residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the band discussed what it was like to have young music lovers just now find them through that Netflix series.
“Well we wrote that song for Stranger Things in 1980-something,” James Hetfield joked about “Master Of Puppets.” When Kimmel asked if anyone was against the use of the track for Stranger Things, Hetfield said, “No one was against it for sure. Anything that’s gonna get us out there, especially older music… It still blows my mind that people like that song, first of all, and that the younger generation are embracing it.”
“It’s like a 9-minute heavy metal song from 1986,” said drummer Lars Ulrich, “that predates most of these people by 25-30 years. It’s just insane. Who would’ve thought, right?”
Kimmel also mentioned that bassist Robert Trujillo’s son played the guitar part. Trujillo patted guitarist Kirk Hammett on the shoulder and said, “Kirk taught him the part, so Kirk is a good teacher.”

Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou (of the RackaRacka YouTube channel), Talk to Me is about a group of friends who discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, and “become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces,” according to the official plot synopsis. I don’t know why the dog gets put into the hallway when the cool teens are messing with the creepy hand, but I don’t like it.
When asked by the Moveable Fest where the idea for the hand came from, Michael replied, “The film’s all about connections, real and false, and so [main character] Mia is rejecting the genuine connections and attracted to these false connections and the hand is a physical representation of that. It’s all about touch – that’s why there’s a lot of that in the movie.”
Talk to Me, which stars Sophie Wilde (who appears to give an Anya Taylor-Joy-in-The Witch-level breakout performance), Miranda Otto, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Zoe Terakes, and Chris Alosio, hits theaters on July 28.
After the end of a long day, nothing beats a cold, crisp lager. Tons of other beer styles fit the bill to a degree, including IPAs, sour beers, and pale ales, but none that scratch that proverbial itch the way a lager does. There’s something about the lightness combined with a hint of hop and malt that hits just right.
This is why even with the bazillion beer styles available, you’ll always find a few lagers in our fridge on the regular. A crisp pilsner, malty lager, or one of the numerous other lager styles always have a place in our refrigerator. This is because a great lager is like a Swiss army knife. You always want it on hand to make use of in any situation.
Brewers agree with this sentiment. That’s why we asked a few well-known brewers, craft beer experts, and brewing professionals to tell us the one lager they always keep stocked in their fridges no matter the season. Keep reading to see all of their selections to see what you need to grab a tuck away in your fridge.
Goldfinger Original Lager was my favorite beer on a recent Chicago stop. I could drink this all day and be very happy. Also apparently it has a 4.0 on Untappd, which after the “lager curve” probably means it’s the best beer in the world.
Tasting Notes:
The helles-style beer was clean and easy to drink, yet packed with light bready flavor, a clear balancing bitterness, and a touch of both sulfur and hop flavor.
Wedge Helles Bock
Wedge
Clay Carlisle, co-founder and head brewer of Bevi Bene Brewing Co. in Charleston, South Carolina
ABV: 6.4%
Average Price: Limited Availability
The Beer:
This may be obvious, but I have to go with a maibock such as the Helles Bock by Carl Melissas at Wedge Brewing. It’s the perfect lager to get you excited for spring, with its pale golden color, noble hop bitterness that keeps you wanting another sip, and a higher abv to thaw out your bones.
Tasting Notes:
When you find a well-made maibock, the floral aroma of the hops mixes with the complexity of decoction, and the lengthy lagering process helps it all come together to produce the perfect crisp fridge lager for springtime.
When I can find Pivo Pils by Firestone Walker, it’s going into the fridge. This is a beefed-up version of a European lager, meaning that while the alcohol stays low (five and some change), the bitterness is robust (40BU) and it has my favorite thing in the world: dry hops.
Tasting Notes:
However, it is with a variety I’ve yet to play with myself, Saphir, which gives a soft, floral honeysuckle jasmine as opposed to the resinous pine sap of American hops. And who doesn’t want a beer dry-hopped with blue jewels right?
I love a good old fashioned American lager, like New Belgium’s Old Aggie. It’s a low-ABV beer that works great with a wide variety of food and occasions. It’s super easy to drink and sometimes, or honestly a lot of the time, that’s all I want at the end of the day.
Tasting Notes:
It’s so balanced in its character with just enough malt to keep your mind on the beer and no bitterness getting in the way of a nice smooth finish.
Death & Taxes by Moonlight Brewing in Santa Rosa, California is an absolute must-have. Moonlight is one of the finest craft lager producers out there today and Death & Taxes is a hallmark of their skill. This is one of those beers that always calls for another one. Absolutely a fridge staple.
Tasting Notes:
A dark lager, it’s basically a California version of a dark Czech lager and hits that perfect spot of flavor and complexity meeting drinkability.
What do you get when you pair the crisp, light, and refreshing qualities of clean lager yeast with the roasted, bitter chocolate flavor of a stout? The schwarzbier. A sometimes overlooked style, the schwarzbier (which literally means black beer) is crisp enough to drink in the summer but hardy enough for the winter. Spring is likely the best time to stock it in the fridge. A local favorite of mine is Midnight Special by Yellowhammer Brewing in Huntsville, Alabama.
Tasting Notes:
It features a stronger roasted coffee flavor with a light, almost peppery hop addition, along with 5.8% ABV.
Perennial Pils

Pils from Perennial Brewing is the lager that I always have within reaching distance. It’s a classic German-style lager — slightly bitter, but what I love most is that they dry-hop it with more German hops to make the nose of it even more pronounced.
Tasting Notes:
Overall, it’s a highly attenuated pilsner with punctual floral and spicy characteristics. Its brightness forces you to slow down and enjoy every ounce of it.
Honest Weight Artisan Beer Prescott is named after one of the Western Massachusetts towns that was flooded nearly a century ago to create the Quabbin Reservoir, Boston’s primary water source. Prescott is a German-style pilsner that never disappoints.
Tasting Notes:
A subtle Bavarian water profile, German malt, and Noble hops set the stage for an effervescent and crispy crusher that leaves you wanting little else — other than knowing when the next release will be.
Lager in my fridge: Jack’s Abby House Lager. It’s a simple, crisp, clean, easy-drinking lager. Jack’s Abby makes nothing but lagers and this is their flagship beer for a reason.
Tasting Notes:
It’s a wonderful example of Helles, light bread, light hops, clean and to the point.
Captain Marvel is not at all thrilled about having companions, as the new The Marvels teaser trailer reveals, but she’s got them anyway. As anticipated, this includes Monica Rambeau (Wandavision) and Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), and to stay true to the film’s title, they will come together as The Marvels.
Not only that, but The Flerkin, Goose, has returned, hopefully to put some more fear into Nick Fury’s world. Because the last time he trusted someone…. he lost an eye. And after The Flerkin strikes terror into Fury’s heart, he’ll see that there’s a whole crew of Flerkins on the scene, too. Meow.
Back to Carol’s superhero companions: yep, you’re gonna have to keep watching Disney+ shows to fully appreciate the newer MCU phases, but fortunately, Wandavision and Ms. Marvel are two good ones. Again, and as we see in the trailer, Danvers is not down (at least initially) with this situation, and when she stumbles upon Khan’s shrine of a bedroom, the skepticism is fully on. That push-and-pull should provide for some good (deadpan) comic relief, and after the most recent Ant-Man installment, the MCU coulduse the refreshing vibe of this teaser trailer.
The Beastie Boys “Intergalactic” only seems to heighten that mood, as does Khan’s reaction to The Flerkin. From the film’s synopsis:
Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan, Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as The Marvels.
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi (son of Jon Bon Jovi) are believed to have started dating in June 2021. Now, it appears the two have taken the relationship to the next level: Today (April 11), Brown all but explicitly confirmed she and Bongiovi are engaged with an Instagram post. It includes a photo of the two with a ring on Brown’s ring finger, accompanied by a lyric from Taylor Swift’s “Lover”: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all [white heart emoji].”
The full verse that lyric comes from goes, “We could let our friends crash in the living room / This is our place, we make the call / And I’m highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you / I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, but I want ’em all.”
Reactions to this from Swift’s fan base have been mixed. There are those who are excited for Brown’s major life move, those who are surprised because they thought the 19-year-old actor was still a child, and those who think the timing of using that particular lyric is a bit off or bittersweet; “Lover” was released on August 16, 2019, and Swift and Alwyn’s relationship is believed to have started three years earlier. So, the lyric is seemingly about Swift and Alwyn’s relationship, which reportedly came to an end just days ago.
Messages from fans included, “Time and place Millie I beg you we’re in mourning,” “Not the lover lyric when swifties are still grieving,” and, “millie read the room.”
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown took to Instagram to announce that she is engaged to Jake Bongiovi, the son of singer Jon Bon Jovi. “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” she wrote, a reference to the Taylor Swift song “Lover,” along with a photo of the happy couple.
Bobby Brown, 19, and Bongiovi, 20, were first linked in June 2021 when he wrote “Bff <3” in an Instagram Story. Later, in a photo taken on her 18th birthday where the pair dressed as Barbie and Ken, he wished her “happy birthday barbie ily <3,” to which she replied, “Endless love.”
Bongiovi is all over Bobby Brown’s Instagram, including a behind-the-scenes photo taken from the Stranger Things set. “Following the release of season 4, part 1 of Stranger Things, Brown posted a photo on set with Bongiovi and Wolfhard, who plays her boyfriend on the show. She captioned the snap, “when two worlds collide,” People reported.
Brown previously shared with WIRED that she met her man on Instagram. They first sparked dating rumors in 2021, and the couple made their red carpet debut at the BAFTA Awards in March 2022. In October 2022, Brown told ET that her man was “pretty unbelievable” as the pair attended the New York City premiere of her film Enola Holmes 2.
Nick Cannon currently has 12 children, while the number 13 has recurred throughout Taylor Swift’s career. So, Swift having Cannon’s 13th child would certainly be something, and it’s an idea that Cannon is up for, as he noted in a recent interview with Howard Stern.
The clip starts with Stern asking for a definitive answer on whether Cannon is done having kids. He refused to be concrete, though, because he simply doesn’t know what the future holds. He did say, however, “I’m happy currently with, you know, my dozen that I got.”
Stern pushed the issue, asking, “Who would be the woman that would make you have a baby again?” Cannon laughed off the question, saying, “I’m not doing this. I can see the headlines.” Stern continued, “If I said to you, ‘Taylor Swift wants to have a baby with you.’” Cannon replied, “Absolutely, I’m in. Let’s go! That’s the one! I’m all in.”
Cannon added:
“First of all, she’s an amazing songwriter. And what I do love about Taylor Swift is the fact that she has been so vulnerable and open with all of her music since such a young girl. And she kind of like me, like… me and Taylor’s numbers is very similar when we talk about being in these streets [laughs]! So I think she would relate to me very well based off of, like, ‘Yo, you’ve dated a lot of people in the public eye, so have I,’ so we probably will really understand each other.”
Drake has many musical personas, including Champagne Papi, 6 God, Certified Love Boy, and more. However, there was one identity the “Search & Rescue” rapper has kept secret for years. Apparently, Drake And Rick Ross are ‘identical twins,’ or the musician joked on Instagram after a hilarious fan mix-up.
Buffalo-owning rapper Rick Ross took to his Instagram Stories to share a humbling encounter he had with a fan while on vacation in Jamacia. After Ross was approached by a pair of overly excited fans, the women shared their love of the musician. But when he went to ask the women, “Do you know my name,” he wasn’t prepared for their answer.
Initially afraid to share their answer, both women answered, “I do… Drake.”
Partly annoyed, Ross replies, “Incorrect.” Instead of hiding the footage of this bizarre encounter, the self-proclaimed biggest boss uploaded the clip to his Instagram Stories with the caption, “They need you in Jamaica,” tagging his frequent collaborator Drake in the posting.
Fans had a field day with clip, but it eventually crossed Drake’s desk, and he found it equally as funny. The musician reposted the original posting from Ross, adding a caption of his own. “At least they know we identical twins,” retagging Ross.
