Gather ‘round, pop culture enthusiasts, because Millie Bobby Brown is getting real—and we’re here for every delicious detail.
The Stranger Things queen, who skyrocketed to fame at the tender age of 11 as the enigmatic Eleven, is now 20, married, and living her best farm life. But don’t let the baby goats and fresh country air fool you—Millie’s journey hasn’t been all sunshine and TikTok dances.
In a refreshingly candid interview with Vanity Fair, the British starlet dished on the side effects of child stardom, and honey, it’s not all red carpets and VIP parties. “I don’t have many friends because of who I am,” she admitted.

“I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit.”
Translation? While we were out here awkwardly navigating high school drama and Snapchat streaks, Millie Bobby Brown was dodging social media trolls, dealing with paparazzi, and oh, casually becoming one of the biggest stars of her generation.
Like so many before her, from Britney Spears to Lindsay Lohan, navigating fame as a child has come with its challenges.
Even the most innocent moments—like admitting she’s not a massive movie buff—have led to unnecessary social media backlash. And don’t even get us started on the relentless commentary about her looks.
But Millie Bobby Brown isn’t here to let the haters win. She’s all about setting boundaries and protecting her peace. “I don’t allow many people into my life, and when I do, I think it should be super moderated,” she explained.

“I started this really young, and I felt that the press specifically was very, very harsh on me. And so I just like to make sure that I’m advocating for myself.”
And now, in a plot twist, no one saw coming (okay, maybe we did), our girl is officially off the market! Millie tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi—yes, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi—last May after three years of dating.
And they didn’t just settle into some flashy Hollywood mansion. Nope, these two opted for a farm in Georgia, where Millie Bobby Brown spends her time fostering dogs and bottle-feeding baby goats. Who knew Eleven had such a soft spot for barnyard babies?
But don’t think for a second that Millie Bobby Brown rushed into this fairytale ending without some serious thought. “We were pretty united going into it,” she revealed.
“We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want.”
Yes, folks, love isn’t just about grand gestures and dreamy Instagram moments—it’s about being on the same page, and Millie and Jake had all the deep conversations before saying “I do.” “It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one,” she added. “I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”
So, what’s next for Mrs. Bongiovi? More Hollywood dominance? A full-fledged animal sanctuary? A rockstar dynasty? Whatever it is, we’ll be watching—and probably taking notes.
