Millie Bobby Brown to Dimple Kapadia: Celebs who got engaged and married as teenagers

Millie Bobby Brown is facing criticism from fans after getting engaged to Jake Bongiovi at the age of 19. News of the 'Stranger Things' actress' engagement irked netizens who believe she is 'too young' to get married. "Child marriage should not be happening," read one of the viral comments. While Millie is braving trolls, here's a list of other stars from Kim Kardashian to Dimple Kapadia, who didn't just get engaged, but also got married as teenagers.

'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown is all set to marry her long-term boyfriend Jake Bongiovi, she has announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday. The 19-year-old posted a picture of herself with Bongiovi - the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi. The picture, in which she is wearing an engagement ring, was captioned "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all."
Jake (20) also took to his Instagram page to share a string of snaps of the happy couple as he wrote, "Forever."
The two met via Instagram and instantly struck up a friendship before this blossomed into a romance. The couple, who went public with their relationship in June 2021, ​has been dating for two and a half years now.

Late Bollywood actress Divya Bharti was at an all-time career high when she tied the knot with producer Sajid Nadiadwala. The then 18-year-old met Sajid for the first time on the sets of 'Shola Aur Shabnam' and according to reports, it was 'love at first sight'. Sadly, their union was short lived as the actress passed away at the age of 19.

After Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kanye West and her 72-day-long marriage to Kris Humphries, it's easy to forget that she had actually been married before that as well. At 19, Kim eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. In an episode on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she claimed "I did ecstasy once and I got married."

Dimple Kapadia was just 16 years old when she tied the knot with Bollywood superstar Rajesh Khanna, who was 31 at that time. What initially looked like a fairy tale romance, soon turned ugly and the couple separated a few years later, but never really divorced.

Hollywood actress Milla Jovovich was also just 16 years when she married Shawn Andrews. The two met on the sets of 'Dazed and Confused' and shortly after, decided to wed. Their marriage lasted only a month after Milla's mother annulled the union as her daughter was too young. Mila also later admitted that she married for the wrong reasons.
