Jake Bongiovi’s proposal to Millie Bobby Brown almost ended in disaster
The ‘Stranger Things’ actress got engaged to the 21-year-old model-and-actor last April after over two years of dating and she has revealed he popped the question while they were on a diving trip – but she was so surprised, the jewellery fell off her finger and down into the water, prompting her new fiance to risk his life to retrieve it.
Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon‘, Millie revealed: “This is too good of a story to not tell… Jake and I bonded over diving. We love diving, we got our diving licenses together.
“One day we were on vacation and he was like, ‘Mil, you’ve got to be up at 8am we’re going on a dive. And I was like, 8am? Dive like, what are we…?’ “

The diving instructor warned Jake he shouldn’t go after the ring in case his brain “exploded” but he ignored the advice.
Millie continued: “Jake threw himself into – like, so deep. Like the diver was like, ‘You can’t do that. Your ears. Literally, your brain will explode.’
“He throws himself, he does a cinematic like grab, opens, and he saved the ring.
“I truly feel like it’s a reflection of who he is, and I feel like we’re always going to have each other’s back. And if anyone drops the ball, we got it. So there we go.”
Once they left the water, Jake proposed again – and revealed the jewellery he’d saved wasn’t even the real thing because he had Millie’s mother’s own engagement band to present to her as her mum hadn’t trusted him to take it in the water.
