Like Millie Bobby Brown, I got engaged at 19 — ‘screw’ the haters
announcing her engagement to rocker Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake Bongiovi, 20, via Instagram Tuesday. The post sparked fierce online debate about the appropriate age for a modern-day marriage. While virtual well-wishers congratulated the Gen Z fiancés, who’ve been together since November 2021, naysayers under the trending Twitter hashtag #Shes19 cautioned Brown against getting hitched as a teen, saying, in part, “This is absolutely not going to last” and “Don’t do it Millie.” But Ashley, 27, who ignored similar warnings and is preparing to celebrate eight years of wedded bliss next month, says the actress should listen to her heart rather than her haters. “Screw them and screw what they think,” advised Ashley, a mom of three and a human resources executive for a digital tech company from Shreveport, La. She and Detric, who’s also now 27 and works as a trucking entrepreneur, exchanged vows one year after high school graduation.
