Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi looked more loved-up than ever as they stepped out for a glamorous date night at the New York City premiere of Enola Holmes 3 on Thursday.
The actress, 22, couldn't keep her eyes – or her hands – off her husband as the pair shared several sweet kisses and exchanged adoring glances while posing together on the red carpet outside the Plaza Hotel.
Their affectionate appearance comes just days after Millie passionately defended Jake against online criticism over their parenting dynamic.

She completed the fairytale-inspired look with a sparkling diamond necklace and wore her brunette hair in a loose braid cascading down her back.
Jake, 24, coordinated perfectly in a powder-blue suit, crisp white shirt, skinny black tie and beige loafers as he wrapped an arm around his wife throughout the evening.

Millie was joined by several familiar faces for the premiere, including her Enola Holmes co-star Louis Partridge and director Philip Barantini. Her longtime friend and Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp was also there to celebrate, with the pair sharing a warm embrace before posing for photographs together.
Adding to the family occasion, Millie's father, Joseph Brown, made a rare red carpet appearance to support his daughter. The couple's appearance marks one of their highest-profile outings since becoming parents last year.
Earlier this month, Millie hit back at online trolls who criticised Jake after photographs emerged showing her carrying luggage, a car seat and their young daughter while travelling.

"Hi, I'm Millie Bobby Brown and I'm not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats and stuff?" she said.
"This stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid and people are like, 'Your husband doesn't hold a single thing.' "And I'm like, 'Because I'm three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night.'"
Millie also defended Jake's character, explaining that social media snapshots rarely tell the full story. "Nobody knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, will-do-anything-for-me. But he also knows I'm capable."
During the same interview, the actress opened up about becoming a mother through adoption, revealing it had been a lifelong dream. She explained that even as a child she imagined her dolls were adopted rather than pretending she was pregnant, adding that while she hopes to have biological children one day, adoption was always part of the future she envisioned.
Millie and Jake announced the arrival of their daughter last August, writing in a joint statement: "This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."
Their latest red carpet appearance suggests the couple are embracing both parenthood and married life with ease as they celebrate Millie's newest project.
Enola Holmes 3 sees Millie reprise her role as Sherlock Holmes' younger sister, with the young detective travelling to Malta for what Netflix describes as her "most complex and dangerous case yet."
The highly anticipated sequel also stars Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter and Louis Partridge, and premieres on Netflix on July 1.
