"This sums us up," she wrote at the time. "In bliss, exploring together. I am eternally holding your hand. happy birthday fiancé. I love you."

In March 2024, the Enola Holmes star shared a post to her Instagram Stories indicating that the pair were celebrating three years together, and she celebrated the occasion with a heartfelt caption.

“Three years of bliss,” Brown wrote over an image of her grinning at the camera with her eyes closed as her fiancé pressed his face against her cheek, adding, “Love you best friend.”

Also in March, the actress made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to describe how Bongiovi popped the question to her — and it involved going underwater.

“Basically, Jake and I bonded over diving. We love diving, we got our driving licenses together," Brown said, noting that the day he proposed, the pair were on vacation together.

"'Mil, you got to be up at 8:00 a.m., we’re going on a dive,'" she recalled, remembering what her now-husband told the night before he was going to propose.

"I was like, '8 a.m., dive?' ... And he's telling me, 'We're going to the same spot we usually go to,'" Brown continued. "I'm like, 'It's boring, let's go somewhere new.' He's like, 'No, we have to go to this spot.'"

After arriving at their diving location, the actress explained that they dove several meters underwater before she noticed that Bongiovi was trying to hand her something.

"He gives me like a shell and I turn it over and it's a ring. And I like, looked at him and he was like..." Brown said, recreating his facial expression as he spouted bubbles underwater.

Raising a thumbs up, she said, "This means, 'up,' 'I want to go up.' So that would technically mean, 'No, I don't want to marry you, I want to go up.'"

"He puts the ring on my hand and as I go to show him the ring falls off my finger, plummets like, so fast, it was like a cinematic movie,” she said to laughs from the crowd, adding, "Jake threw himself, like so deep, like the diver was like, 'You can’t do that, like your ears ... literally your brain will explode.'"

"It's a reflection of who he is and I feel like we’re always going to have each other's back," she added at the end of the story, "and if anyone drops the ball, we got it."
