Happy birthday Millie Bobby Brown! The star, who has grown up in the public eye, is a child no more as she celebrates her milestone 20th birthday on Monday, February 19.
The actress received the sweetest tribute of all, however, from none other than her fiancé Jake Bongiovi, 21, who took to Instagram with a rare photo of theirs.
In the snapshot, Millie, wearing a white strapless mini dress, cozies up to Jake, in a fitted white tee, as he plants a kiss on her cheek at an intimate party.
"Happy birthday my beautiful [fiancée]," he sweetly wrote. "I love you so much. Big year ahead."
Fans quickly inundated the post with a barrage of excited responses, ranging from: "SO CUTE JAKE!!! Loved this SO MUCH! Thank you for being so sweet and caring with Millie," to: "Y'all are actually adorable…"
Millie, for her part, simply shared a throwback of herself as a baby by the pool drinking from a can of Mountain Dew, and captioned it: "twenty," to which Jake sweetly replied: "Happy birthday my love."
