- Millie Bobby Brown says she isn’t a stay-at-home wife
- She married Jake Bongiovi in 2024, son of John Bon Jovi
- The fifth season of Stranger Things is out soon
Millie Bobby Brown says her life isn’t like the sweet-looking “trad wife” content that goes viral on platforms like TikTok.
The Stranger Things star explained the Georgia farm she lives on with her husband Jake Bongiovi – the son of Bon Jovi rocker Jon Bon Jovi – is a bit muckier than idyllic lifestyle content creators would want you to believe.
“If you’re not picking up horse s**t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all,” Brown told Vanity Fair. “I’m doing it because I love it. There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not.”

One of the highlights of their rural pursuits is their flock of animals, which includes donkeys, sheep, goats and cows. Not content with that, they also have space for her therapy dog Winnie and their animal shelter, Joey’s Friends.
What did Millie Bobby Brown say about her social life?
The 20-year-old actress has spoken out about the stresses of being a child star before. Brown shot to fame on the Netflix show Eleven as a kid, which is set to come to a close later this year.
In the Vanity Fair piece, she admitted that being on the show had impacted her ability to make friends. Growing up on a set impacted her “social skills” but is making progress in that department.
“I don’t have many friends because of who I am. I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit. I missed out on a few things. But I’m working through them,” Brown said.
When is new episodes of Stranger Things landing on Netflix?
No word has been given about when Brown will be back as Eleven in the streaming service hit, which is set in the 1980s in the fictional Indiana town of Hawkins.
She stars alongside Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, Sadie Sink, Winona Ryder and many others in The Duffer Brother-created sci-fi show. Jamie Campbell Bower will be reprising his role as villain Venca.
