Stranger Things fans have watched Millie Bobby Brown grow up on their screen and it's hard to believe she's now married and a mother.
The 21-year-old got married in the spring of 2024 and announced earlier this year that she had adopted a baby girl, alongside the many animals she keeps on a sanctuary at her home in Georgia.
The Eleven actress was just 12 years old when she started working on Stranger Things and it's since become one of Netflix's biggest shows, with millions set to tune in for the finale.
Brown has already shown that she can shake off the child star tag that can often stick with kids as they progress into adulthood, also featuring in Netflix films such as Enola Holmes and The Electric State.

While the build-up to the final season of the 80s-inspired hit was overshadowed somewhat by allegations reportedly made by Brown regarding her co-star David Harbour, the Marbella-born celebrity has kept herself very busy while the public waited for three years to see if the Hawkins kids could defeat Vecna.
After marrying Jake Bongiovi, 23, in May 2024, they adopted a baby girl in August as she confirmed the heartwarming news on Instagram, writing: "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption.
"We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."
After tying the knot, it seems as if Brown ditched her last name, and also sort of her middle name, as she recently confirmed in an interview with VT that her new moniker is in fact 'Millie Bonnie Bongiovi'. Or 'Millie Bon Bon' for short.

Who is Millie Bobby Brown’s father-in-law?
Those of you with a strong music knowledge might have already figured out exactly who her father-in-law is and looking at Bongiovi's last name will take you (more than) halfway there.
That's right, he is one of four children fathered by Jon Bon Jovi, who of course gave his name to the iconic rock band Bon Jovi and he certainly won't be hoping that his son or his daughter-in-law will give love a bad name with their ongoing relationship.

He became a grandfather for the first time when the couple announced their adoption, although his eldest son, Jesse Bongiovi, also welcomed a child with his wife earlier this month.
During an appearance on The One Show in May last year, Bon Jovi spoke about Brown and Bongiovi's 'secret' wedding ceremony.
He said: "They are great, they are absolutely fantastic.
"It was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be."
So, while the Stranger Things star has already memorably shown off her singing skills with performances of 'Imagine' by John Lennon, she's certainly got a good vocal coach on hand ahead of the Christmas karaoke.
