Millie Bobby Brown is at a turning point. After nearly a decade of playing Eleven on Netflix’s Stranger Things, that part of her life has ended. Now, she’s focusing on simpler pleasures: looking after the 25 animals on her Georgia farm and embracing motherhood with her baby daughter, whom she and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, recently adopted.
“I will never live in LA. It just isn’t for me,” Brown told Chioma a few weeks before the Stranger Things finale on December 31, which was also shown in select theaters. “If I can do anything for my daughter, it will be to give her a home base.” Brown herself lacked that kind of stability growing up, moving often before eventually settling in Atlanta to film the series.
Beyond sharing thoughts on family life, Brown also talks about the friendship she’s been forming with singer Raye, who performed at her wedding. She discusses handling criticism, her changing relationship with her hair, and the touching moment when her Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp met her baby for the first time.
