Jon Bon Jovi's son Jake Bongiovi, 21, made headlines last spring after announcing his engagement to Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, 20. If Millie's $150k engagement ring is anything to go by, it seems the young lovebirds are set to have one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings ever.

Jake won't be the first of Bon Jovi's sons to tie the knot, however. His 28-year-old son Jesse also popped the question to his girlfriend of four years back in August 2022. Rocker Bon Jovi, 62, has not yet spoken out about his sons' engagements, but the father-of-four is no doubt bursting with pride for his children.

The rockstar shares four kids with his wife Dorothea Bongiovi; daughter Stephanie, 29, and sons Jesse, 28, Jake, 20, and Romeo, 19. 

With interest in the music legend's family picking up after he attended the UK Premiere of Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story in London on Thursday alongside Dorothea, here's everything we know about the 'Livin' On A Prayer' hitmaker's children...

Stephani Bogiovi is the eldest child of rockstar Jon Bon Jovi

Stephanie Rose Bongiovi is the eldest of Bon Jovi's children, and is the reason the rockstar wrote the song 'I've Got The Girl.' As a child, Stephanie made occasional appearances on stage during Bon Jovi's tours. The 29-year-old has since followed in her dad's showbusiness footsteps, now working as a camera operator on TV shows. 

Back in 2017, Stephanie experienced a drug overdose in her dorm room whilst she was a student at Hamilton College. 

The teen was found unconscious but later managed to call her dad during her recovery. Speaking to Metro at the time, Bon Jovi described his daughter's hospitalization as the "worst time in his life". 

He said: "It was my worst moment as a father. The first thing she said was, I'm all right, but then she said this is what happened. You wake up, you shake it off and put your shoes on and say okay, I am on the way home."

Jesse is the eldest of Bon Jovi and Dorothea's sons, and is also his dad's business partner. The 28-year-old wine entrepreneur shares the rosé brand Hampton Water with his rockstar dad and Gérard Bertrand, which they launched in 2018. Bon Jovi shares a close relationship with his eldest. 

Speaking to People at the time of their rosé launch, the singer explained his joy of working with his son. "We walk into meeting together and I go, "Wow, it's my Mini-Me." He's thinking the way I'm thinking. It's been a dream," he said.

Jake and Millie confirmed their engagement on 11 April

Bon Jovi's 21-year-old son Jacob (Jake) is an actor, best known for his debut role in American romcom, Sweethearts. Last April, the star confirmed his engagement to Millie Bobby Brown, having proposed with a breathtaking diamond ring. 

Millie and Jake first sparked rumors of a relationship in June 2021, when he posted a sweet car shot of them together, though they kept things lowkey by simply calling each other their "bffs". 

The then-teenage sweethearts finally made things official with their red carpet debut in March 2022, when they attended the 2022 BAFTAs at the Royal Albert Hall in London hand in hand and posed for plenty of loved-up pictures.

Bon Jovi and Dorothea's youngest son Romeo tends to keep out of the spotlight. Despite attending a handful of red carpet events with his parents when he was younger, the now 18-year-old star doesn't appear to have social media, and only occasoinaly accompanies his famous parents to public events. 

While Bon Jovi and Dorothea love being parents, they admitted to People in October 2020 that they were "definitely looking forward" to being empty nesters once Romeo turned 18. "Just not being stuck to a schedule and being able to travel [will be nice], but we like to see our kids. It's not like we're going to disappear."
