Jon Bon Jovi broke his silence about of his son Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown‘s wedding earlier this month.
The 62-year-old Wanted: Dead Or Alive rocker said, ‘They’re great, they are absolutely fantastic.
‘It was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be, and yeah it’s true,’ he added during a live tv interview with the BBC‘s The One Show.
The Stranger Things actress, 20, and Jake, 22, tied the knot earlier this month in an intimate ceremony in front of their families and close friends.
‘Millie and Jake quietly said their vows in America last weekend,’ a source told The Sun.

‘They are planning a bigger ceremony in the US later this year but now they have legally married and done all the paperwork.
‘It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows,’ he added.
Earlier this year, the You Give Love A Bad Name singer confirmed he would be performing at the wedding ceremony.
When asked on the red carpet of the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year gala if he would be sing at the ceremony, he emphatically told DailyMail.com: ‘Yes!’
Earlier this month, the Jake’s brother Jesse also got married.
The eldest child of Jon and his beautiful wife Dorothea Hurley, 61, married his longtime partner Jesse Light, 30, in Las Vegas on May 8.
Previously, Jon expressed his approval for his son Jake and new daughter-in-law Millie’s marriage, despite their relatively young ages.
The Livin’ On a Prayer hitmaker met his wife in high school, and they eloped in Las Vegas during Bon Jovi’s New Jersey Syndicate tour.
‘I’ve gotten to know [Millie] in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way,’ the Grammy winner said.

‘It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago and I think, with the support of family around them, they’re going to be great together,’ he added.
The pair were linked in 2021 and dated for over a year before Jake proposed in April 2023 — which he unexpectedly did underwater while they were diving in the ocean together.
Millie explained a few months ago that she preferred to maintain a degree of privacy around the details of her wedding to Jake.
‘I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once. And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me,’ she told WWD.
