Bon Jovi addressed criticism of his son's engagement to 19-year-old Millie Bobby Brown: 'I don't know if age matters'

• Andy Cohen asked if Bon Jovi was "worried" about his 20-year-old son and the "Stranger Things" star.
• The pair hinted at an engagement in a series of April 11 Instagram posts.

Jon Bon Jovi isn't worried about his son Jake Bongiovi's engagement to Millie Bobby Brown, despite their relatively young ages.

Bon Jovi appeared on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show "Andy Cohen Live" on Tuesday, and weighed in on his son's apparent engagement to actor Millie Bobby Brown. Bongiovi is currently 20, while Brown is 19, and Cohen asked if Bon Jovi was at all "worried" about the engagement given their age.

"I don't know if age matters, you know, if you find the right partner and you grow together. I think that would be my advice, really, is growing together is wise. Growing together," Bon Jovi said. "And so, I think that all of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with, and we like them all."

On April 11, Brown posted a photo of her and Bongiovi on Instagram, sparking engagement speculation with the presence of a ring on her left summer and a caption quoting lyrics from Taylor Swift's "Lover": "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all."

Bongiovi also posted two photos of him and Brown on April 11, with the caption, "Forever."

The couple, who confirmed that they were dating in November 2021, have yet to explicitly confirm their engagement. However, Bon Jovi appeared to do so, referring to his son as "the latest one" of his kids to get engaged after Cohen congratulated him on "the big engagement news." (Bon Jovi's oldest son Jesse got engaged to his girlfriend in July 2022.)

When Cohen asked him if he had seen "Stranger Things," the Netflix series that brought Brown into the spotlight in her role as Eleven, Bon Jovi said that "of course" he had, and praised Brown herself.

"Millie's wonderful. Her whole family are great. Really, really great," Bon Jovi said. "Jake is very, very happy."
