    Raye performed at Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's wedding reception

    The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in May 2024 before enjoying a bigger celebration later in the year, and the Stranger Things hitmaker enjoyed a special moment on the dancefloor with her father thanks to the Escapism hitmaker.


    Speaking on the Dish podcast, Millie said: "Raye performed, which was amazing.

    "She performed my dad and I's daddy-daughter dance. She did all Frank Sinatra, it was amazing, so epic."

    The 21-year-old actress previously revealed she and Jake, 23, had performed a Grease-themed dance routine at the reception and she's now admitted she started planning the musical moment as soon as they got engaged.

    She said: "I grew up doing so dance routines at pretty much any family gathering.

    "So, when Jake proposed, I was like, "We have to learn a dance routine.' We'll remember it forever and when the song comes on when we're 80, we'll just remember the dance, it's gonna be so special for us.

    "So, I got us dance lessons. And originally, we were going to do Dirty Dancing and I was like, "Oh my God, if you get that routine wrong. It's too much.'"

    "My favourite movie is Grease 2. We did a Grease medley of songs. It was probably a six-minute dance.

    "People were like, 'Oh my God you can tell she's an actor.' It was amazing."

    And the couple - who adopted a baby girl in August - have since displayed their moves again.

    The Enola Holmes actress said: "The other night, Jake and I were at a bar, and it goes, 'You're the one that I want'. And Jake goes right into it."

    Millie's Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine officiated the ceremony and he previously told of how he was "surprised" by how emotional he found himself as the couple exchanged vows.

    He told Vanity Fair magazine: "It was absolutely sublime.

    "I was surprised how emotional I became during the vows. I'd been witness to so much of Millie's private life and her professional career-and I'd seen her grow from that adorable child into a beautiful and thoughtful adult.

    "I was with her when she first met young Jake. And now she's beginning a whole new life with such a kind man."
