Motherhood, Marriage & Milestones
Millie Bobby Brown has quickly evolved from “Stranger Things” child star into one of Hollywood’s most influential young women. After marrying Jake Bongiovi (son of Jon Bon Jovi) in May 2024, the couple surprised fans by announcing the adoption of a baby girl in August 2025.
In recent social media posts and interviews, Brown beams about her new role as a mother, showing off cozy family moments and reflecting on her dreams of motherhood since childhood. She told TIME, “Without her, there’s no him. It’s all interconnected. I’ve always dreamed of having a family.” Her father-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi, gushes about life as a grandparent, calling it “crazy, but great” and praising the young couple’s commitment.
Acting, Producing, and Netflix Stardom
Brown’s professional star burns brighter than ever:
- “Just Picture It”: In her first Netflix romantic comedy, Brown both produces and stars as a college student who, thanks to a phone glitch, sees herself married to a stranger 10 years in the future. She’s joined by Gabriel LaBelle, and the film begins shooting in late 2025.
- “Prism”: Brown leads and executive-produces this supernatural series about a woman who can see ghosts, debuting soon on Netflix.
- “Perfect” (in talks): She’s in final negotiations to star as gymnastics legend Kerri Strug in Gia Coppola’s biopic, promising her first portrayal of a real-life figure and potential for awards recognition.
- “The Electric State”: Brown’s 2025 sci-fi movie with Chris Pratt landed on Netflix after a huge budget push.
As “Stranger Things” ends, Brown’s post-Hawkins evolution proves she’s not just a one-series wonder. She remains a key producer and creative for both her own projects and wider Netflix deals.
