“She looks so much older than she really is 🤔” remarked one commenter, while another added“21 like 31,” directly comparing her youthful age to her more sophisticated styling.

In 2023, just a year before they tied the knot, Brown opened up about how it felt to fall in love with her husband and let go of her fears. She revealed that she once feared embracing her strength in relationships, believing that being desirable meant staying in the background.


However, with Jake Bongiovi, she feels free to be her true self. “When I met Jake. I just felt I could be loud. He embraced that and encouraged that. And I fell in love with myself while being with him,” she divulged.


Despite feeling secure in her relationship, Brown occasionally questioned whether she was too much. However, Bongiovi noticed her self-doubt and reassured her, though she still found herself asking him why he loved her.


“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.’ Those are things that I love about myself now,” she noted.


Brown also shared that Bongiovi has played a significant role in her journey of self-love and personal growth as a woman. Being with him allows her to embrace herself fully, deepening her appreciation for their relationship. She declared, “Wow, I really love this person because he allows me to love myself.”


Brown’s book, “Nineteen Steps,” written in collaboration with novelist Kathleen McGurl, in a way, mirrors her perspective of how her husband changed her life. The book delves into themes of love and resilience.


The story follows Nellie, a young woman navigating the challenges of World War II while fiercely protecting her family. Amid the turmoil, she falls for an American Air Force pilot, experiencing a love so powerful that she wishes the entire world could share in its joy.


That kind of deep, all-consuming connection is something Brown has found in her own life with Bongiovi. Their bond, marked by an intense and almost surreal closeness, has been a transformative experience for her. “He’s so kind. And his heart is just loving and wonderful and smart,” she enthused.


Interestingly, marriage was never part of Brown’s childhood dreams. Unlike many who envision their perfect wedding day, her aspirations always revolved around motherhood. She longed to have children and to embody the kind of nurturing presence her mother and grandmother had been in her life.


She noted that being a wife was never a priority until she met Bongiovi, who doesn’t demand that she be a “stereotypical wife for him.”

“He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that. I was like, ‘Oh, I do want this,'” she shared. Now, Bongiovi supports her fully, appearing by her side at red carpet events. To the pair, marriage is a natural and meaningful step in their journey together.
