Millie Bobby Brown recently opened up about her parents-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea. She shared how the legendary rocker has embraced his new role as a grandfather in an interview with Today.
Brown is married to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi. She described how both Jon and Dorothea have become deeply involved in the life of her baby girl, painting a warm picture of the couple as devoted grandparents.
“They just had her the other day for the whole day, and they went to Target and got like a cart full of things for her,” Brown said. “You know he’s just always on the floor crawling around with her and dying laughing, videoing every new thing she does.”
Brown went on to express her gratitude for the couple’s consistent presence in her daughter’s life.
“He’s the best and so is Dorothea, my amazing mother-in-law,” she continued. “They’re the most present grandparents, and we couldn’t be luckier to have them in her life.”
The comments offer a rare and candid glimpse into the Bon Jovi family’s dynamic since the arrival of Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s daughter. The warmth Brown describes reflects a family culture that Jon and Dorothea have cultivated over decades.
Jon Bon Jovi has long been known for keeping his family close despite the demands of a global music career. He and Dorothea, his high school sweetheart whom he married in 1989, raised four children together. Jake is their second son. That foundation of stability and togetherness appears to have carried seamlessly into the next generation.
Jon has publicly described becoming a grandfather as “the best thing” he has ever experienced. He noted that watching his grandchild grow brings him a joy he never anticipated — a sentiment that clearly resonates with what Brown has witnessed firsthand.
Brown and Jake Bongiovi married in a private ceremony in 2022. Jon and Dorothea embraced their grandparent role from the start, with the baby girl becoming a clear focal point of the extended family’s attention.
The picture Brown paints — of a rock legend crawling on the floor, laughing, and reaching for his phone to capture every milestone — is a striking contrast to the stadium-filling icon the world knows. For the Bongiovi family, grandfatherhood has become Jon’s most cherished encore.
