Brown and Bongiovi first became romantically involved in June 2021. In April 2023, they shared news of their engagement.

They first had a private wedding ceremony in May before rumors swirled in late September that they were in Italy for a bigger second ceremony with friends and family.

Brown spoke Glamour last October about how Bongiovi changed her view on marriage. “My dream was to have a baby,” she said. “I wanted to be the woman my mother is to me, and I wanted to be the woman my grandmother was to me. So that was never my intention to become a wife. But after meeting Jake and seeing, “Oh, I don’t have to be this stereotypical woman for him. He doesn’t want me to be like that either. He wants me to do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand through it.” I was like, ‘Oh, me Doing want this. ”

She also criticized the fact that they married in their early 20s, explaining, “It’s like, I know I have to make this movie now.” I know I have to write this book now. I know I have to do it this now. It’s not because I can’t do it in 10 years; Of course I can do it in ten years. But why, if I know it will work now? Just like Florence (her beauty line) will be around in 10 years. In ten years you will be able to see my film on TV. And I know Jake and I will be okay.
