Jon Bon Jovi’s Adorable Grandpa Name Has Fans Melting — and It’s Perfectly Linked to Millie Bobby Brown’s ‘Stranger Things’ World

Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi is officially stepping into a whole new role and no, it’s not another stadium tour. The 62-year-old music icon has embraced the title of grandpa for the first time, and fans can’t get enough of the sweet and slightly geeky name he’s chosen for his new grandchild.

During a recent interview, Bon Jovi revealed that his grandpa name has a special nod to his daughter-in-law Millie Bobby Brown, the Stranger Things star who tied the knot with his son Jake Bongiovi earlier this year. The rock star admitted that when the couple welcomed their first child, he wanted a name that would make his grandkids smile and that also carried a fun, pop-culture twist.

 

According to Bon Jovi, the nickname playfully references Millie’s hit Netflix show Stranger Things, which catapulted her to international fame as the telekinetic heroine, Eleven. The musician joked that his grandkids might one day call him “Pop Eleven” — a cheeky nod to Millie’s iconic role and the number that’s become synonymous with her name.

 

Fans online are loving it. Social media lit up with comments like, “That’s the coolest grandpa name ever!” and “Only Jon Bon Jovi could make being a grandpa sound rock ’n’ roll.”

 

Bon Jovi, who’s been open about how much he adores his family, said watching his son and Millie start their life together has been “a beautiful full-circle moment.” He also shared that becoming a grandfather has softened him in the best way possible even inspiring new music that reflects on legacy, love, and family.

 

Between his new documentary on Netflix and his growing family, Jon Bon Jovi is proving there’s no slowing down the man who’s been “Livin’ on a Prayer” for decades. Now, fans can’t stop talking about how he’s living on grandpa love too.
