Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has revealed a significant personal update — she has officially undergone a name change.
After tying the knot with Jake Bongiovi last May, the actress has now legally taken on her husband’s surname, making her full name Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.
And if the news left some fans confused, they’re not alone — her best friend and Co-star Noah Schnapp had a hilariously tough time getting it right during a recent television interview.
When asked to state Millie’s full name, Noah confidently said, “It’s Millie Bonnie Brown.” But when Millie hinted that her name had changed, he tried again: “Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi.”
Millie corrected him with a simple, “No.” Noah made a third attempt that only added to the chaos, “Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi,” he laughed, before stretching it even further — “It’s so long! Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi Brown.”
Though she has always been credited professionally as Millie Bobby Brown, the actress previously revealed in March that her real name is actually Millie Bonnie Brown, and she swapped out ‘Bonnie’ for ‘Bobby’ in her stage name purely for, as she put it, “s---s and giggles.”
Millie married Jake Bongiovi, son of musician Jon Bon Jovi, in May after more than three years of dating. The couple also recently became parents, adopting a baby girl as their first child and sharing the big news in a heartfelt social media post that read, "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were three.”
On the professional front, Brown is currently seen in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, where her character Eleven — along with the rest of the Hawkins gang — is locked in a fierce battle to defeat the sinister Vecna. Volume 1, which premiered on November 26, has already sparked massive excitement, and fans are now eagerly waiting for the remaining episodes to bring this groundbreaking series to its well-deserved, epic conclusion.
