Millie Bobby Brown
Born on February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Spain, to British parents Kelly and Robert Brown, Millie Bobby Brown is a world-renowned actress, producer, and entrepreneur whose rise to stardom began with an early life of both ambition and financial struggle. Moving with her family to Bournemouth, England, at age four and then to Orlando, Florida, in 2011, Brown was born with partial hearing loss in her left ear that eventually transitioned to complete deafness, a challenge she has openly discussed as a shaping force in her performance style. Her career started with professional workshops in Orlando where she was discovered by a talent scout, leading her family to sacrifice nearly everything—including selling their belongings and facing bankruptcy—to support her move to Hollywood. After early television appearances in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, NCIS, and Grey’s Anatomy, her life changed permanently in 2016 when she was cast as Eleven in the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things. This breakout role not only earned her two Primetime Emmy Award nominations but also established her as a global icon and the youngest person ever included in the Time 100 list of influential people. In the years following her breakout, Brown successfully pivoted into film and production, starring as the titular detective in the Enola Holmes franchise and appearing in blockbusters like Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021). She founded her own production company, PCMA Productions, and launched the highly successful beauty and skincare brand Florence by Mills in 2019, which has since expanded into fragrances and fashion. Her commitment to advocacy is equally prominent; she serves as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, focusing on children's rights and the fight against online bullying. As of early 2026, her professional life remains busier than ever with the wrap of Stranger Things Season 5, the upcoming release of The Electric State (2025), and her continued work on projects like Enola Holmes 3 and the romantic comedy Just Picture It. Personally, Brown's life reached a major milestone in May 2024 when she married Jake Bongiovi, the son of legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi, in a private ceremony and officially took the name Millie Bobby Bongiovi. The couple's family expanded in August 2025 when they announced the adoption of their first child, a baby girl, with long-time co-star and friend Noah Schnapp serving as the godfather. Today, she balances her massive professional empire with a quiet personal life in Georgia, where she resides with her husband and daughter while continuing to use her platform to speak out on mental health and the challenges of growing up in the public spotlight.
