"They are great, they are absolutely fantastic," Bon Jovi told BBC's "The One Show" on Tuesday, May 28.
"It was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be. It's true," Bon Jovi said.
Shortly following the wedding between Brown and Bongiovi, they jetted off to Universal Orlando, where Brown sported "wifey" attire.
In a joint Instagram post, Bongiovi and Brown shared a series of pictures from their trip, playing games, walking through the crowded park hand in hand and posing in front of a dinosaur from "Jurassic Park."
Brown's Universal outfit included a pair of jean shorts with "wifey" written across the back and a white baseball cap with pink lettering reading "wife of the party."

On April 11, 2023, the "Stranger Things" star posted a black and white photo on Instagram with a shiny diamond ring on her left hand, confirming their engagement.
"I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want ‘em all," she captioned the post, quoting Taylor Swift’s song "Lover."
In March 2024, Brown shared the story of Bongiovi's romantic proposal.
"Jake and I bonded over diving," Brown said to Jimmy Fallon on an episode of his talk show. "We love diving. We got our diving licenses together."

"We go under, and we're like many meters down. He gives me a shell and I turn it over, and it's a ring," Brown said.
Brown then shared the comedic communication, or lack of, between the two after she realized what was happening, as they were still underwater.
Once they got back above water, he put the ring on her finger, and she showed him her sparking diamond.
"As I go to show him, the ring falls off my finger, plummets, like so fast, it was like a cinematic movie," Brown said.
Luckily, Bongiovi was able to find the ring in the water and bring it back to his fiancé.
