Jon Bovi talks about Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's relationship

On August 21, 2025, Jake Bongiovi, 23, and Millie Bobby Brown, 21, shared on Instagram that they had welcomed a baby girl via adoption. The announcement came about a year after their private wedding in May 2024.

The couple first sparked romance rumors in June 2021. They married after nearly three years together. The intimate wedding ceremony included only close family members, among them Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Bongiovi, according to PEOPLE.

Jovi reportedly addressed this during the podcast, saying,

"They got married very young, but we blessed it because we get it. They are sort of mature beyond their years."

The musician explained that the couple had his full support because of Millie Bobby Brown’s background and maturity.

"She comes from a family where her parents are still together and they married very young. Her and Jake fell in love and we just thought, OK, we will support this. And it’s working out."

Bon Jovi reflects on Richie Sambora’s 2013 exit from the band

Jon Bon Jovi says he is still “heartbroken” over guitarist Richie Sambora’s departure from the band during its 2013 world tour.

Speaking on the Dumb Blonde podcast on September 22, 2025, the singer described Sambora as a key creative partner and long-time friend. Sambora, who joined Bon Jovi in 1983, left the group to focus on family life amid his divorce from actress Heather Locklear in 2013, as reported by PEOPLE on September 22, 2025.

Sambora’s exit was difficult for the band, according to Jovi, who said it was some time before Sambora reconnected with the members privately.

"My heartbreak with him is the way he walked out on us, compounded by the fact that it took him years to come back in the room just to have a meal with Tico and David and I and say, ‘I’m sorry,'"

Richie Sambora previously discussed his exit in the 2024 documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, expressing regret over how he left, even as he stood by his decision to move on.

"I don’t regret leaving the situation, but I regret how I did it, so I want to apologize fully right now to the fans, especially, and also to the guys"
