The red carpet has seen plenty of glamorous moments, but Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi brought something even better — pure, effortless love.

On Sunday, February 23, the newlyweds made an appearance at the 2025 SAG Awards — the 21-year-old Stranger Things star wore a champagne-orange Louis Vuitton halter gown with a short train, while her beau rocked a classic black tuxedo and slicked-back hair.

In footage obtained by E! News, the pair were seen holding hands before pulling each other in for a hug. Brown wrapped her arm around Bongiovi's back, and he returned the gesture by resting his hand on her waist.

The couple's sweet red carpet moment comes just days after the British actress celebrated her 21st birthday. Bongiovi, 22, marked the milestone on Wednesday, February 19 with an Instagram tribute, writing, "Happy 21st baby. I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️," alongside a mirror selfie of the duo.

Brown also showed her appreciation for Bongiovi — whose parents are rock legend Jon Bon Jovi and his longtime wife, Dorothea Hurley — earlier in the month, sharing a never-before-seen wedding photo on Valentine's Day with the caption, "happy valentines to the most handsome husband that's ever lived. I love you more than anything ❤️."

The lovebirds first sparked romance rumors in June 2021, got engaged in April 2023, and secretly wed in May 2024 before hosting a second ceremony in Italy.

Now, they're settling into married life in Georgia — where, according to the Enola Holmes actress, they've already mapped out their future.

"We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want," she shared in a Vanity Fair interview published Wednesday, February 12. "It's such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him."
