Millie Bobby Brown has grown up in front of the camera, captivating audiences ever since she brought the enigmatic Eleven to life on “Stranger Things.” Born on February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Spain, Millie’s rise from a kid actor to one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces has been nothing short of meteoric. She’s more than just a star of the screen – she’s also the founder of the popular beauty brand “Florence by Mills,” a burgeoning film producer, and a fixture on red carpets around the world.
But despite her fame and seemingly nonstop schedule, Millie remains refreshingly relatable. She shares candid moments with fans – posting goofy TikToks, celebrating milestones with friends, and occasionally revealing snippets of her private life.
Finding Love in the Spotlight
Millie’s relationships have sparked plenty of curiosity, but she’s generally kept her personal life close to the chest. These days, she’s officially married to Jake Bongiovi, son of rock icon Jon Bon Jovi. They started dating in June 2021, announcing their engagement in spring 2023, and tying the knot on May 18, 2024, in a private ceremony. Their love story unfolded online, with playful selfies and supportive comments, but they’ve balanced that digital openness with a sense of privacy.
Her approach to dating has changed as she’s gotten older. Early relationships were sweet and a bit public: in 2017, she and Jacob Sartorius, a teenage singer, shared heartfelt social media posts before amicably splitting in 2018. In 2019, she was with Joseph Robinson, the son of rugby legend Jason Robinson, but busy schedules led to their quiet breakup.
One relationship that ended with some controversy was her time with Hunter Ecimovic (2020-2021), who made inappropriate statements online after their split. Millie and her team swiftly called out those claims as “dishonest” and “irresponsible.” Still, Millie has rarely aired relationship drama, choosing, for the most part, to keep things respectful and positive.
There have been plenty of rumors over the years – fans have speculated about possible romances with Romeo Beckham and “Stranger Things” castmate Noah Schnapp. But Millie and Noah, in particular, have always described their bond as a close friendship, not a romance.
Growing Beyond the Spotlight
Millie’s perspective on love is strikingly mature for someone her age. “Love is about growing together, not just being together,” she said during a 2020 interview. This outlook seems to guide how she navigates her relationships – she stays focused on mutual support and personal growth, both for herself and her partner.
Her marriage to Jake Bongiovi marks a new phase in her life. They show up for each other, whether that’s walking red carpets or celebrating career milestones. Their interactions online and in public strike fans as genuinely heartfelt, not just for show.
What’s notable about Millie is how she handles breakups and transitions. With the exception of the Hunter Ecimovic episode, she’s chosen to move on quietly and avoid public drama. She doesn’t disparage her exes or overshare, instead seeming to embrace each step as part of her own growth.

“I’m still figuring out who I am, and that includes who I want to be with,” Millie once told Seventeen magazine. It’s a sentiment that resonates with many young people, famous or not. While she navigates the adult world and all its complications, Millie Bobby Brown seems to be doing so on her own terms – with self-awareness, resilience, and, most notably, a sense of authenticity that many find inspiring.
