The Damsel star revealed that her husband made a memorable proposal, popping the question underwater while they were diving.
"I was like, 8 a.m.? Dive? And he's telling me we're going to the same spot we usually go to. I'm like, 'It's boring, let's go somewhere new. He's like, 'No, we have to go to this spot,'" Millie recalled during a March 2024 interview on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
After going "many meters down," Jake surprised his wife by handing her a shell with the ring inside.
"The bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be," he added

Millie revealed that she felt a connection with Jake from the moment they met.
"You can't pinpoint why [someone is 'the one']. It's just the feeling of knowing that that's the person you want to spend the rest of your time with."
