Millie Bobby Brown just got engaged to Jake Bongiovi, in a lacy white dress that made some fans think they had gotten hitched!
While the Internet seems happy for the lovebirds, what most seem to focus on is that she's 19 (to Bongiovi's 20) and young love is simply the best love, right?
Millie Bobby Brown & Jake Bongiovi Promise 'Forever'
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi each shared sweet pictures on Instagram on April 10th, in loving poses with Brown showing off a stunning ring on her hand, leaving fans squealing in excitement.
While Bongiovi shared two pictures of the couple and wrote "Forever" as the caption, the "Stranger Things" actress shared one picture of Bongiovi hugging her from behind, captioning it, "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all."
While the 19-year-old actress is breaking out of her "Stranger Things" mold and recently starred in the "Enola" franchise, playing sister to Henry Cavill's Sherlock Holmes.
Jake Bongiovi meanwhile is the son of singer Jon Bon Jovi and has no plans of following his dad into music and is carving out his career as an actor. He explained his take, saying, "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. 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."
He also added, "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." For now, it seems the goal is LOVE!

Fans Excited Over Taylor Swift Reference & That She's 19!
As Taylor Swift’s six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn slows down, "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown might have gotten engaged to Jake Bongiovi, and she decided to quote Swift as her caption.
The caption comes from Taylor’s song “Lover,” in which Swift sings the exact same words before the chorus, “Can I go where you go?/ Can we always be this close forever and ever?/ And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)/ You’re my, my, my, my lover.”
Fans sat up and took notice quickly, leaving comments like:
"Okay, swifties can we talk about the caption."
"Not even Taylor managed to write these lyrics under an engagement post..."
For the rest of the Internet, especially Twitter, all that mattered was that Mille Bobby Brown was 19!
So much so that "she's 19" is now a Twitter trend!

Honestly, seeing why She's 19 is actually trending is a relief. I clicked on it expecting to see that Leo DiCaprio has a new girlfriend or something.
