The Emotional Conclusion of Stranger Things Season 5 and The Name Change
The final season of Stranger Things, which has been in production for years, finally provided a definitive end to the saga of Hawkins, Indiana, and the terrifying Upside Down. Millie Bobby Brown's portrayal of Eleven, the telekinetic heroine, has been the emotional anchor of the series since its 2016 debut.
The November 2025 Premiere and Eleven's Final Arc
The highly anticipated final season—*Stranger Things Season 5*—premiered in late 2025, with a major London screening event held in November 2025. The season, which saw the Duffer Brothers wrap up years of lore, was met with massive critical and fan response, solidifying the show's place as a cultural touchstone.
Brown herself was heavily involved in the promotional circuit, though she did make headlines after a reported injury caused her to drop out of a major event alongside co-star David Harbour. She also garnered attention for a viral red-carpet moment at the Season 5 screening where she playfully yet firmly confronted photographers, telling them to "You smile!" when pressured to pose.
From Millie Bobby Brown to Millie Bonnie Bongiovi
Perhaps the most definitive sign of her new life chapter is the official change to her professional and legal name. Following her private wedding to Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, Brown confirmed in a late 2025 interview that she has officially changed her name to Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.
The name change—which reportedly drops the 'Bobby Brown' part of her stage name—is a significant move. It signals a clear separation from the identity she built as a child star and a full embrace of her new life as a wife and mother, with her husband's family name now at the forefront of her public persona.
Secret Wedding and Surprise Motherhood: The Bongiovi Chapter
While the world was focused on the Upside Down, Millie Bobby Brown was quietly building a family. Her relationship with Jake Bongiovi, which began in 2021, culminated in a series of major, highly personal milestones in 2024 and 2025 that have redefined her public image.
The Intimate Tuscany Wedding
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, who announced their engagement in April 2023, officially tied the knot in a private ceremony. Reports of a "secret wedding" in early 2025 were later confirmed, with sources indicating the couple had a romantic destination wedding in Tuscany, Italy. Jake's father, Jon Bon Jovi, publicly confirmed the marriage, noting that the couple is "great."
Brown herself has shared details about marrying at a young age, explaining that their connection was immediate and profound. This quick progression from engagement to marriage highlights a deliberate choice to prioritize her personal life as her professional career reaches new heights.
The Adoption of a Baby Girl in Summer 2025
The biggest, most emotional news of 2025 came in the summer when Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi announced they had welcomed their first child. The couple confirmed they adopted a baby girl, sharing the heartfelt news on social media in August 2025.
This news of motherhood via adoption marks a profound new era for the actress, who is now balancing her blockbuster career with the demands of being a new parent. The decision to adopt, and the public announcement of the "sweet" baby girl, has been celebrated by fans and the industry alike, further cementing her status as a mature, powerful figure in Hollywood.
Future Blockbusters: The Post-Eleven Career Slate
With the final season of Stranger Things now complete, Millie Bobby Brown is transitioning from a television phenom to a full-fledged Netflix headliner and producer. Her upcoming slate is packed with high-profile projects that showcase her versatility beyond the role of Eleven.
Netflix Partnerships and Producing Roles
Brown’s relationship with Netflix has been instrumental in her career development, extending beyond Stranger Things. She has leveraged her star power to take on producing roles, giving her greater creative control over her projects. Her recent work includes the action-fantasy film *Damsel* (2024), where she both starred and served as an executive producer.
Her future is defined by a series of major film projects, many of which are exclusive to the streaming giant, ensuring her screen presence remains consistent for years to come.
Upcoming Movie Projects (2025 and Beyond)
The focus of Brown's post-Hawkins career is on large-scale, genre-spanning films:
- The Electric State (2025): This highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, directed by the Russo Brothers (of *Avengers* fame), is slated for a 2025 release. Brown stars as a runaway orphan in a retro-futuristic American West, a role that promises to be a major blockbuster event.
- Enola Holmes 3: Following the success of the first two installments, a third film in the popular mystery franchise is confirmed. Brown will reprise her titular role as the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, continuing her work as both the lead actress and a producer. The Enola Holmes franchise is a cornerstone of her non-*Stranger Things* career.
- Just Picture It: Brown is also set to star in this romantic comedy alongside Gabriel LaBelle. The project, a departure from her typical sci-fi and fantasy roles, will allow her to explore her comedic timing and romantic lead potential, adding another layer of depth to her filmography.
In conclusion, 2025 marks the definitive end of one era for Millie Bobby Brown and the explosive start of another. By embracing marriage, motherhood, and a new professional name, she has successfully navigated the challenging transition from beloved child star to a respected, powerful, and deeply grounded young adult in Hollywood. Her focus on producing and headlining major film franchises ensures that while Eleven may be gone, the star power of Millie Bonnie Bongiovi is only just beginning to shine.
