Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi hold hands as they step out as a couple for the first time

Millie Bobby Brown and her boyfriend Jake Bongiovi looked blissfully happy as they affectionately held hands on their first public outing as a couple on Wednesday.

The lovebirds, who fueled romance rumors earlier this month after the 19-year-old son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi shared a car selfie with the actress, looked inseparable while strolling the streets of New York City side-by-side with her poodle Winnie.

Looking every inch the doting beau, Syracuse University student, toted the Stranger Things star’s adorable pup in a large denim tote for a few blocks.

Meanwhile, the 17-year-old British actress rocked a flowing pink skirt, a chic white top and navy floral flats as they explored the Big Apple on foot.   

She styled her hair in a sleek bun and accessorized her summery ensemble with a pair of tiny black sunglasses.   

For their outing, Jake looked cool in a casual button-down with a palm tree design and a pair of matching beige shorts with vertical black and blue stripes.

The duo both wore face masks as they walked outside amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Earlier in the day, Brown was seen carrying her own pooch, who she purchased last year to help her combat anxiety and ‘really bad panic attacks.’ 

On June 3, Jake uploaded a selfie to Instagram with Brown, which showed her in his passenger seat as they made duck faces at the camera.

His rumored girlfriend commented: ‘BFF’ with a unicorn emoji. 

While she shot to fame portraying Eleven on Stranger Things, Jake is best known for organizing a student walkout at his high school to protest government inaction on mass killings in American schools.

Like Jake, Brown has advocated for gun control and memorably wore a jacket with the names of the Parkland school shooting victims on her jacket to the 2018 Kids’ Choice Awards. 

The socially-conscious star also created a clean beauty brand and vegan skincare, called Florence by Mills.

She has yet to post a photo with Jake on her own social media accounts.
