Fans react to Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement to Jake Bongiovi

Is there a stranger thing?

Millie Bobby Brown is facing criticism from fans after getting engaged to Jake Bongiovi at such a young age.

The “Stranger Things” star, 19, announced on Instagram Tuesday that Bongiovi, 20, had popped the question after two years of dating, but many of her nearly 63 million followers were less than thrilled about the news.

“What? She’s eleven,” one punster wrote in the comments section of Brown’s post, referring to her character’s name in the Netflix show.

“Isn’t she only 19 years old?” a second person questioned.

“Omgg too young,” a third commented.

“Child marriage should not be happening,” another agreed.

Others fans were more supportive and wished the betrothed couple all the best.

“Divorce coming in 1.5 years,” a cynic added.

“Guy is trying hard to secure the bag,” another wrote, referring to Brown’s big paycheck for her breakout role in “Stranger Things.”

“NO F–KING WAY,” a shocked fan commented.

Romance rumors started swirling for the pair in summer 2021.

But others were supportive of the pair taking the next big step in their relationship and pointed out that they are two adults in love.

“I thinks it’s very interesting how many people who don’t know Millie Bobby Brown privately AT ALL think it’s any of their business wether or not a decision she made is right or wrong LOL,” one defender commented. “I’m happy for her if she’s happy and it’s
NON [sic] of anyone else’s business to say what they should or shouldn’t be doing.”

“For everyone upset about her being engaged, it’s not her saying she’s getting married RIGHT AWAY, it just signifies that it’ll happen and they made their love for each other official. Just be happy for her at the end of the day it’s her life,” a second person wrote.

The pair have continued to flaunt their love throughout their relationship.

“She’s technically an adult and can make her own choices. I got engaged at 19 and was married at 19 and now almost 10 years later we’re still together, would I be okay with my kids getting married at 19? Eh probably not but still congrats to them!” someone agreed.

“shut up to all the people who r saying shes too young shes literally living the life she wants bro dont forget that this isnt ur life and u dont make decisions for her 🤗,” another wrote.

“i hate that ppl keep assuming she’s a teenager she’s almost 20 and she got engaged !!! be happy for her some of ya popping babies before 19 and not even know who the daddy is … let this girl be happy,” one more added.

Bongiovi also celebrated their engagement with an Instagram post.

In her social media announcement, Brown quoted lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Lover” as she and Bongiovi head into their third summer as a couple.

“I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” she wrote beneath a black-and-white picture of her fiancé hugging her from behind as she debuted her engagement ring.

The son of Jon Bon Jovi celebrated their engagement on Instagram as well, posting a photo from his proposal with the simple caption, “Forever.”

The self-described “all around cool guy” seemed to receive more support from his followers than his bride-to-be did, as his post was flooded with well-wishes.

Brown started dating Bongiovi in mid-2021 and made their relationship Instagram-official that November.

From there, the pair proceeded to spend the holidays together and travel the world before making their red carpet debut at the BAFTAs in London in March 2022.

The “Enola Holmes” star hinted at wanting to spend the rest of her life with Bongiovi earlier this year when she called him her “partner for life” on social media.

‘Jeopardy!’ producers reveal new plans for upcoming season

“Jeopardy!” producers are listening to their fans and making some changes.

During a recent episode of the “Inside Jeopardy!” podcast, producers Michael Davies and Sarah Foss discussed their New Year’s resolutions regarding the show, as well as the mistakes they made this past season and how they think they can improve the show. One thing Davies noted was that the post-season episodes “really worked” but can be done in a better way.

“My first resolution is that we are going to expand post-season next year,” Davies said. “We had sort of slightly weird thing where we kicked off the regular season for five weeks, then we went into post-season, and we came back and went back into regular season again, and I think what we’re going to do next season is we’re going to kick off the season with the post-season, and then go into regular season thereafter.”

The post-season shows include “Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions” and the “Second Chance Tournament.” By adding these to the beginning of the season, producers will avoid interrupting regular gameplay and won’t interfere with a potential winning streak the audience is invested in.

While they are excited about the success of the post-season shows and expanding those, Davies wanted to acknowledge that he and Foss “understand the value of new players getting the opportunity to get on the Alex Trebek stage and getting opportunities to play,” and says that adding more post-season episodes won’t take away from new players taking the stage.

“We can expand the post-season, we can expand it to nine weeks, 10 weeks, 11 weeks, whatever we decide, eight weeks, there would be plenty of weeks for regular gameplay still,” he said. “I think we’re going to expand the post-season. I think it’s going to be a really important thing.”

Foss added, “I think it may mean we have less of some of the more traditional tournaments that we’ve had in the past, because we are hearing our fans and our players say they want more chances for people to have that first-time opportunity, and some of our tournaments in the past haven’t necessarily allowed for a spot in the TOC, so this might be a way to have that balance.”

The show currently has two hosts who take on different responsibilities, with Ken Jennings hosting the regular syndicated episodes, and Mayim Bialik hosting the High School Reunion Tournament and “Celebrity Jeopardy!” which airs on Thursdays.

Davies is so impressed by the success of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” saying that “based on that show’s performance,” it has gone from a syndicated show to “a Primetime fixture.”

One of Davies’ other resolutions for 2023 is to finally get “Jeopardy! Masters” off the ground, calling the project his “baby” and his “fondest dream.” He explained that the show is something he has wanted to make happen since his first day on the job, but the timing wasn’t right until now.

“We have these pro-level, elite level players, and our fans . . . tell us on social media all the time you watch the show through these people,” he said. “I just look at the ratings, and when we have a super champion there in the mix, and suddenly when we had them playing against each other, the quality of the programs, the ratings of those programs, the social media interactions, the engagement with those programs, it was off the charts.”

He ended by saying, “We’re going to make ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ happen,” with Foss exclaiming that fans will see it in 2023. The next challenge they face is deciding which past champions they’re going to choose to participate in the new spin-off.

The start date for season 40 has yet to be released, however, it was announced on Wednesday that the show has been renewed through the 2027-2028 season.
