During a conversation with Glamour UK, Brown talked about marriage and said, "That wasn't my dream. My dream was to have a baby." She added, "I wanted to be the woman that my mom is to me and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me. So that was never my, like, intention, to be a wife." She explained that after meeting Jake she understood she doesn't have to be a stereotypical wife since he doesn't want her to be that either.
"He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that," the British actress continued. She acknowledged that being a teenager does lead to her having insecurities but her instincts helped her shape her successful career which is why she trusts herself. Brown believes her timing is right. "It's not because I can't do it in 10 years, of course, I can do it in 10 years," she said about getting ready to marry so early.

It's like, why wait? Let's go for it."
