Millie Bobby Brown is in a moment of transition. After nearly a decade of playing Eleven on Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, that chapter of her life is coming to a close. Now, she’s turning her focus to simpler joys: caring for the twenty-five farm animals on her Georgia property and settling into motherhood with her baby girl, whom she recently adopted with her husband, Jake Bongiovi.

“I will never live in L.A. It just isn’t for me,” Brown told Chioma a few weeks ahead of the Stranger Things finale, premiering December 31 and set to screen in select theaters. “If I can do anything for my daughter, it will be to give her a home base.” It’s a sense of stability the actress says she lacked growing up, having moved frequently as a child before eventually relocating to Atlanta to film the series.

Beyond reflecting on family life, Brown also opens up about the friendship she’s been building with singer Raye, who also appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 2025 and performed at her wedding. She also discusses navigating criticism, her evolving relationship with her hair, and the emotional moment when her Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp met her baby for the first time.
