Here's Why Millie Bobby Brown Is Ready to Marry Jake Bongiovi at 19

"I just felt I could be loud."

Millie Bobby Brown may be just 19 years old, but she couldn't be more confident about marrying her fiancé Jake Bongiovi. In a new interview with Glamour, Brown admitted that knows everyone thinks she's too young — but she isn't going to listen to the haters. Instead, the actress is focused on trusting her instincts.

“It’s like — I know I should make this movie now. I know I should write this book now. I know I should do this now,” she told the outlet. “It’s not because I can’t do it in 10 years; of course I can do it in 10 years. But why, when I know that it’s going to work now? Just like Florence [her beauty line] will be there in 10 years. You’ll be able to see my movie in 10 years on TV. And I know that Jake and I will be okay.”

It's a notion that both Brown and Bongiovi also grew up around (both of their parents married young). “We were modeled wonderful, loving relationships,” she said. “So it’s something that we both had that mutual drive for.”

It wasn't just her intuition that made her believe Bongiovi was the one. She also hit it off with his family (his father is Jon Bon Jovi) calling them her "second family." Plus, the actress said her fiancé allows her to fully be herself, while in the past she "was so afraid to be a strong woman in a relationship.”

“When I met Jake, I just felt I could be loud,” she said, explaining that her fiancé lets her fully be herself. “He embraced that and encouraged that. And I fell in love with myself while being with him.”

She adds that during a time of insecurity, Jake had listed all the reasons he loves her — which happened to be the things she "hated" about herself.

“I was like, ‘Why do you love me?’ And then he listed all these things that I hated about myself. I was like, ‘You see good in those things?’ And he was like, ‘Of course I do,'" she remembered. "Those are things that I love about myself now. He was a really big, huge part of me loving myself and becoming a woman. It was like, ‘Wow, I really love this person because he allows me to love myself.’”
