Jon Bon Jovi has responded to criticism of his son Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown getting engaged at a young age.

Last month (Apr 11), Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi revealed that they had got engaged to each other. Taking to Instagram, Millie posted an adorable black and white photo of her, Jake and her new ring with the caption: "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all". Jake also posted photos of the two of them together and wrote: "Forever".

Shortly after Millie and Jake announced their engagement, people began to question whether or not they were too young to get married. Now, Andy Cohen has asked Jon Bon Jovi if he has any concerns about Millie and Jake's relationship. He asked: "When your almost-21-year-old says, 'I'm getting engaged,' do you worry for them that they're too young?"

Jon then defended Millie and his son by saying: "I don't know if age matters. You know, if you find the right partner and you grow together, I think that would be my advice really - growing together is wise. Growing together, and so I think that all of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with, and we like 'em all."
