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."

2024 is indeed turning out to already be a big year for the young actress, who returned to filming for the fifth and final season of the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things.

While the show isn't slated to return till 2025, it was delayed significantly by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes of 2023, meaning that the show will return nearly three years after season four was released in May of 2022.

She recalled dealing with doubt and insecurity after the end of her previous relationship with TikTokker Hunter Ecimovic when she met Jake in 2021."I think I was so afraid to be a strong woman in a relationship."

She added: "When I met Jake, I just felt I could be loud. He embraced that and encouraged that. And I fell in love with myself while being with him."

Millie thought that she was "too much," but got reassurance from the son of Jon Bon Jovi, as she stated: "I was like, 'Why do you love me?' And then he listed all these things that I hated about myself. I was like, 'You see good in those things?' And he was like, 'Of course I do.'
