They're not too young to, Bon Jovi said. Brown is 19.
“I don’t know if age matters if you find the right partner and you grow together,” Bon Jovi said. “That would be my advice: Growing together is wise. So, I think all my kids have found people that they think they can grow together with, and we like them all.”
On the Cohen show, Bon Jovi revealed that Jake's sister, 29-year old Stephanie Rose, is also engaged. Big brother Jesse, 28, got engaged last year. Romeo, the youngest of Sayreville natives Bon Jovi and Dorothea Bongiovi, is 19 and not yet engaged.
