When it comes to her studies, Millie Bobby Brown, 18, has the full support of her boyfriend Jake Bongiovi, 20. The actress recently enrolled at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and wants to attend online classes while she prepares to film Stranger Things’ fifth and final season. According to HollywoodLife, her handsome boyfriend, Jon Bon Jovi’s son, is “so proud” of her for following her educational aspirations and appreciates her enthusiasm because he is also a college student at Syracuse University.
“Although Millie and Jake made their red carpet debut a few months ago, they’ve been dating for a while before that and so things have become pretty serious between them over time,” one source told HollywoodLife. “Jake is so proud of Millie for pursuing her education because he knows how much this means to her. Although the college is located in Indiana, at the moment she’s only taking online classes,” the source continued.
“That’s very helpful because it gives her the freedom to continue her acting career, time to focus on her makeup and skincare line, and maintain her close relationship with Jake,” the insider added. “Things could always change, but for now, Millie is happy sticking to online classes and is still able to fulfil her dream of helping to inspire others.” Another source added, “Jake goes to Syracuse University and puts a big value on higher education so he’s absolutely cheering Millie on in this.”

“His whole family is not big on the fame game, they really encourage their kids to stay grounded and that’s one of the things that they love so much about Millie, she’s totally down to earth and hasn’t let any of the Hollywood stuff go to her head. They are very proud of her for getting into Purdue, it’s a great achievement.” The first mention of Millie’s Purdue news came last week when she announced it in an interview with Allure. She is enrolled in a programme called human services, where “you learn about the system and how to support young people.”
