Millie Bobby Brown Shares Vacation Photos After ‘Stranger Things’ Wrap
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Millie Bobby Brown, the 20-year-old star of Netflix‘s ‘Stranger Things,’ delighted fans on Wednesday with a series of vacation photos posted to her Instagram. The actress showcased her sun-soaked getaway, featuring a Brazilian-themed yellow and green thong bikini, a Matrix-inspired black leather top, and casual beachwear.
In one photo, Brown posed on a boat, flaunting her svelte physique in the vibrant bikini. Another snap captured her in a striped crop top and gingham shorts, hiding her face under oversized sunglasses and a neon orange baseball cap. She also shared a sweet moment with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, who wrapped his arms around her as they smiled for the camera. The post was captioned, ‘in a galaxy, far far away.’
The vacation comes after Brown and her ‘Stranger Things’ co-stars wrapped filming for the show’s fifth and final season. Last month, she shared an emotional Instagram post reflecting on her time on the series, which catapulted her to fame. ‘I am nowhere near ready to leave you guys,’ she said in a video, choking back tears. ‘I love each and every one of you and I will forever carry the memories and bonds we created together as a family.’
Season 5 of ‘Stranger Things,’ which began filming in January, is expected to debut on Netflix in 2025. Brown, who plays Eleven, has been a central figure in the sci-fi series since its inception in 2016.
In addition to her professional milestones, 2024 was a significant year for Brown personally. She married Jake Bongiovi, 22, in a small ceremony in May, followed by a formal wedding in Tuscany in the autumn. The couple, who met via Instagram in 2021, got engaged in April 2023 during an underwater proposal while on vacation. The event was attended by both of Brown’s parents and Bongiovi’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley.
Jon Bon Jovi, reflecting on his son’s marriage, shared his excitement about the couple’s future. ‘My grandkids will be more English than Italian or my other heritage! How crazy is that?’ he said in an interview. ‘It’s a very exciting time. My other son [Jesse] just got married, so we’re welcoming two daughters-in-law into our family.’
Brown’s latest Instagram post has sparked playful reactions from fans, with many drawing parallels to the Star Wars universe due to her caption. While no official projects link her to the franchise, fans expressed enthusiasm for the possibility. Meanwhile, Brown continues to expand her career with upcoming projects, including the sci-fi film ‘The Electric State,’ set for release later this year.
As fans eagerly await the final season of ‘Stranger Things,’ Brown’s vacation photos offer a glimpse into her life beyond the screen, blending relaxation with her signature style.
