In a subtle revelation, "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown has added "Bongiovi" to her name, marking a new chapter in her personal life. The 20-year-old actress shared this update through an Instagram post on August 11, 2024, featuring a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the set of "Stranger Things" Season 5.
The third image in Brown's gallery showcased a blackboard with her expanded name: "Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi." This change comes in the wake of her May wedding to Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley. The couple's nuptials, though kept relatively private, have now been indirectly confirmed through this public name change.
Brown's post, captioned "11 in 5," offered fans a glimpse into the production of the highly anticipated final season of "Stranger Things." The images included Brown in character as Eleven, complete with goggles and a fake nosebleed, as well as haunting set pieces reminiscent of the show's iconic "Upside Down" dimension.
The Netflix hit series, created by the Duffer Brothers, is drawing to a close with its fifth season. In July, the streaming giant released a first look at the upcoming installment, generating buzz among the show's dedicated fanbase. Matt and Ross Duffer previously shared that the story arc they envisioned seven years ago is now reaching its conclusion, having expanded beyond their initial four-season plan.
As Brown continues to film her final scenes as Eleven, her personal life milestone adds an extra layer of significance to this transitional period. The actress, who rose to fame at just 12 years old with the debut of "Stranger Things" in 2016, has grown up in the public eye. Her marriage and subsequent name change reflect her evolution both on and off screen.
While the release date for "Stranger Things" Season 5 remains undisclosed, Brown's update has reignited excitement for the series' conclusion. As fans eagerly await the final chapter of the Hawkins saga, they can take solace in witnessing the continued growth and happiness of one of its brightest stars.
