‘Millie and Jake quietly said their vows in America last weekend,’ a source close to the couple shared.

‘They are planning a bigger ceremony in the US later this year but now they have legally married and done all the paperwork.’

‘It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows,’ it was added.

Earlier in the year, Jon confirmed he would be performing at the wedding ceremony.

When asked on the red carpet of the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year gala if he would be sing at the nuptials, he emphatically told DailyMail.com: ‘Yes!’

Millie spilled on the Today show back in September that she and Jake were sharing wedding planning responsibilities.

‘It has not been stressful at all for me. Jake is very involved. He’s very helpful during the whole process,’ she opened up.

The Netflix sensation added: ‘I’ve never felt alone in it, which I think is really nice. I’m always like, “Is this a good idea? Is this a good idea?”

‘But ultimately, it’s just a very intimate day for the both of us and we’re really both very excited.’

The announcement came some speculation that has been circulating on social media over recent weeks, after she flashed a glimpse at the ring in a recent post

Millie and Jake announced their engagement news in separate Instagram posts in April 2023.

Showing off her glimmering rock with a monochrome picture, the teenage star beamed from ear to ear while in the arms of her new fiancé.

Quoting Taylor Swift’s 2019 song Lover, she wrote in the caption: ‘I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.’

Jake also shared an announcement post to his own page, simply writing ‘forever’ alongside two snaps of the couple.

Celebrating the joyous news, the smitten couple took part in a beachy photoshoot – with Millie dressed in a crochet dress while Jake donned a cream polo shirt.

The announcement confirmed speculation that had been circulating on social media over recent weeks, after she flashed a glimpse at the ring in a recent post.

Posing behind the wheel of a convertible car in a picture last month, Millie looked away from the camera and lifted her hand in the air, showing the prominent diamond ring on her finger.

While she also sparked speculation in August when she was seen wearing a gold diamond ring on her wedding finger during a PDA-packed outing.

Sharing that they had spent ‘three summers’ together in the announcement post, it comes after the actress recently dished the dirt on how she and Jake met.

Millie and Jake met on Instagram and became friends through the platform, before their romance was sparked.

Answering the internet’s most searched questions about her, she said: ‘We met on Instagram. And we were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?’

She introduced Jake to her 62.7M followers in June 2021 with a cute photo of him posted to Instagram, but it wasn’t until she posted a picture of him planting a kiss on her cheek that they were ‘Instagram official.’

Millie called Jake her ‘partner for life’, in a gushing post where she shared a series of pictures of the couple back in January 2023.

Jake doesn’t post as often as Millie but when he does it’s often loved-up snaps with Millie, selfies or arty shots as he travels the world.

Jake is no stranger to the Hollywood A-list lifestyle as his father is no other than Jon Bon Jovi

Jake previously said he has no plans to follow in his father Jon Bon Jovi’s rock ‘n’ roll footsteps.

Jon is the founder and frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi, which was formed in 1983. He has released 15 studio albums with his band as well as two solo albums.

Nepo baby Jake is intent on continuing to carve out a career as an actor.

When asked if he fancied a career in music in an interview with Man About Town magazine.: ‘I think I’ll leave that to my dad! There’s really no following the act there.’

He shared: ‘There was always music playing in the house growing up, all different types of genres from all different types of worlds. But what spoke to me were the people on the screen, not the voices through the speakers.’

However, Jake said his father’s experience in the industry has been hugely beneficial to him.

He said: ‘Having my father’s influence has been a wonderful learning curve. It’s just great to hear it directly from a first-person source, their experience coming up through artistic expression.’

Jake reflected: ‘As long as you can have your identity – who you are and what you originally set out to do – and keep that strong, that’s the goal.’
