Millie Bobby Brown definitely got everyone’s attention when she talked about how she can’t wait to become a mom and start a family with husband Jake Bongiovi.
During the 21-year-old actress&#8217; appearance on the “Smartless” podcast, the “Stranger Things” star said that starting a family isn’t just important to her but to Jake as well, noting they both come from big families, <a href="https://people.com/millie-bobby-brown-says-its-so-important-to-her-to-start-a-family-with-husband-jake-bongiovi-11694191?taid=67cf4e29ccadfc0001d26c09&amp;utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com">People magazine</a> reported. Brown and Bongiovi tied the knot in May 2024.
&#8220;My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19,” Brown said. “And you know, it&#8217;s been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me.&#8221;
&#8220;And my nan, like my grandmother, she was a huge part of my life,” she added. “And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it&#8217;s so important to start a family for me personally. It&#8217;s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.&#8221;
&#8220;And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family,&#8221; Brown continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m one of four. He&#8217;s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future. But, for me, I don&#8217;t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting. My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by, Jake and I, our energy in the house is the door is always open, and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.”
The couple started dating in 2021 and went Instagram official with their relationship in November of that year. In 2023, 19-year-old Brown announced she and 20-year-old Jake were engaged, and fans had mixed reactions.
Her Instagram post included a black and white photo showing her embracing her fiancé while she showed off her diamond engagement ring.
There were many social media users who sent congratulatory messages to Brown and defended the actress from critics.
“Shut up to all the people who [are] saying she’s too young she’s literally living the life she wants bro don’t forget that this isn’t [your] life and [you] don’t make decisions for her,” one person wrote.
“She’s technically an adult and can make her own choices,” another added. “I got engaged at 19 and was married at 19 and now almost 10 years later we’re still together, would I be okay with my kids getting married at 19? Eh probably not but still congrats to them!”
However, there were a whole host of comments from people who felt the two were way too young to be engaged, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/11/fans-react-to-millie-bobby-browns-engagement-to-jake-bongiovi/">Page Six</a> noted.
“Omgg too young,” one account posted.
“NO F***ING WAY,” another user added.

Chris Pratt has received praise for proving gentlemen still exist in Hollywood, after he helped shield a fellow actress, wearing a short skirt, from press cameras.
During a recent <a href="https://x.com/PicturesFoIder/status/1897289152929964204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press event</a> for their Netflix movie “Electric State,” “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown &#8212; who was wearing a patchwork jacket and mini skirt combo &#8212; struggled to get up from her chair when Pratt showed how a real man acts.
In the video that’s since gone viral, the 21-year-old actress appeared to lean over and share her dilemma and the 45-year-old “Guardians of Galaxy” star rushed right in and stepped in front of her, completely blocking her from possibly being exposed to the cameras close by. He also as gave the actress an arm to steady herself with.
It was this act of chivalry that got everyone&#8217;s attention, with one person after another commenting on what a great guy he was, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14469709/Chris-Pratt-protects-Millie-Bobby-Brown-wardrobe-issue.html">Daily Mail</a> noted.
“Chris Pratt is just a good dude,” one person wrote. Another added, “A real and respectful man.”
A third person wrote, “&#8217;Chris Pratt is a real one. I’m just going to say thank you to the guy for being a gentleman!!!”
Another user on X wrote, “Gentlemen still exist.”

One post captioned the viral video, “Chris Pratt getting in front of Millie so she can stand up while wearing a [short] dress. A MAN.”
Another person noted that Pratt is “overhated” due the criticism he’s faced in the past for talking about faith and his Christian values.
During a past interview, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-pratts-mothers-day-tribute-post-divides-social-media-followers">Pratt</a> encouraged couples who have found their “great partner” to “rush” and start a family, acknowledging that his message contradicts the advice many young people are given about not being in a hurry to have children.
The Marvel star talked with <a href="https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/chris-pratt-being-father-better-actor">Men’s Journal</a>, about fatherhood’s “incredible” joys and being a dad to his kids.
“People say all the time, ‘Don’t rush to have kids,&#8217;” Pratt said. “I personally disagree. Rush. Have them. Of course, make sure you find a great partner but don’t wait. I was talking to Adam Sandler a while back and he said, ‘Every day you wait is a day they don’t get to have you in their life.'&#8221;
“The younger you have kids, the more time they get to have with you,” he added. “It’s wild. Having kids is incredible. The things you normally take for granted in life are new.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-pratt-encourages-couples-to-rush-and-start-a-family">Pratt</a> was previously married to actress Anna Farris, and the two welcomed a son in 2012. In 2018, the couple got divorced after nearly ten years of marriage. In 2019, Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger tied the knot and the couple share three kids.

U.S.

Legendary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rock star</a> Jon Bon Jovi recently reflected on his son’s engagement, indicating he disagreed with criticism that the 20-year-old was too young to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get married</a>.
Jake Bongiovi recently announced his engagement to 19-year-old “Stranger Things” actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/millie-bobby-brown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Millie Bobby Brown</a>.
Bon Jovi <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WuzJv8fEl0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a> the upcoming nuptials during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy.” Cohen mentioned how Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, were high school sweethearts and have been married for 34 years. 
“When your almost 21-year-old says, &#8216;I’m getting engaged,&#8217; do you worry for them that they’re too young or because you were so young when you were with Dorothea, you weren’t engaged that young, but do you worry as a dad about how old or how young they are?” Cohen asked.
“I don’t know if age matters,” Bon Jovi said. “If you find the right partner and you grow together &#8230; All of my kids have found the people that they think they can grow together with and we like ‘em all.”
“Millie is wonderful,” the rocker said of his future daughter-in-law. “Her whole family are great. Jake is very, very happy.”
Brown and Bon Jovi’s son <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq5EuqHLDJM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced their engagement</a> last month after two years of dating when Brown shared a photo of them with a line from a Taylor Swift song, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” The couple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fans-have-mixed-reactions-to-stranger-things-millie-bobby-brown-engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faced criticism</a> from fans saying they were too young to marry.
But others came to their defense, sharing their own stories of young marriages that lasted decades.

“Congrats! My mom got married a week before her 19th birthday, everyone said her marriage would never work because of her age, but my parents still have the most beautiful lovely marriage I’ve ever seen!” one commenter wrote on Instagram.
“People still talk about age? Also, I don’t believe she asked for anyone’s opinion or advice. Move along,” another fan wrote.
“This should be normalized,” a third person shared. “My Fiancé (19) and I (21) are getting married in 21 weeks. Getting married young means we get to grow up together and experience a fuller life with each other. Tradition may have a stigma but that doesn’t make it any less reliable and trustworthy. I admire you Millie!”

Fans Have Mixed Reactions To ‘Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown Engagement

Netflix

Stranger Things

Out of all the child actors on the Netflix sensation “Stranger Things,” Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, is one of the most admired. The British actress has been nominated for two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of the girl with telekinetic and telepathic powers.
Now the 18-year-old star is speaking up about alleged sexualization she experienced during her career when she was younger. Brown discussed the sexualization of children in Hollywood during an appearance on “The Guilty Feminist” <a href="https://guiltyfeminist.com/episode/?episode=376">podcast</a>.
&#8220;I deal with the same things any 18-year-old is dealing with, navigating being an adult and having relationships and friendships, and it&#8217;s all of those things,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;Being liked and trying to fit in, it&#8217;s all a lot, and you&#8217;re trying to find yourself while doing that. The only difference is that obviously, I&#8217;m doing that in the public eye.&#8221;
The &#8220;Stranger Things&#8221; star mentioned how she’s noticed “definitely been dealing with [being sexualized] more within the last two weeks of turning 18 — definitely seeing a difference between the way people act and the way that the press and social media have reacted to me coming of age.”
&#8220;I believe that shouldn’t change anything, but it’s gross and it’s true. It’s just a very good representation of what’s going on in the world and how young girls are sexualized,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;So, I have been dealing with that, but I have also been dealing with that for forever.&#8221;
She went on to elaborate on incidents from the past after becoming an overnight sensation thanks to the success of “Stranger Things.”
As one example, Brown said she was “crucified” for wearing a low-cut dress when she was only 16. &#8220;I thought, &#8216;My, is this really what we’re talking about? We should be talking about the incredible people that were there at the award show,'&#8221; she recalled of the incident.
According to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/04/12/millie-bobby-brown-criticizes-press-hollywood-sexualization-young-age/7297647001/">USA Today</a>, the “Stranger Things” star mentioned how she was included in W magazine&#8217;s list of &#8220;Why TV Is Sexier Than Ever” at the age of 13. She discussed how people online have been commenting on her looks for years, including much older men. Then there was the 2016 GQ profile describing her as a &#8220;very grown-up child&#8221; and discussing how her legs looked.
Brown addressed this all previously in an Instagram post when she was 16.
&#8220;The last few years haven&#8217;t been easy, I&#8217;ll admit that,&#8221; the teen wrote. &#8220;There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me.&#8221;
Brown will return to her role playing Eleven in “Stranger Things 4,” which is scheduled to launch May 27 on Netflix. The actress is also slated to appear in the “Enola Holmes” sequel coming to Netflix later this year.

‘Stranger Things’ Star Millie Bobby Brown Reveals She’s Been ‘Sexualized’ From A Young Age: ‘It’s Gross’

Children

Television

Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy Wheeler on the hit Netflix show &#8220;Stranger Things,&#8221; believes that her younger castmates on the show have been oversexualized by the broader culture.
Speaking with <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/natalia-dyer-interview-stranger-things-yes-god-yes-religion-sex-a9678001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Independent</a>, Dyer said that the broader media reaction to the show, primarily its framing of star Millie Bobby Brown, was an over-sexualization of her co-stars, and she feels protective of them.
&#8220;I generally feel like, to me, it’s oversexualizing them,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I feel protective over the younger kids even though they’re not kids anymore, they’re teens. They’re all great people and all having to grow up in very crazy circumstances. As a private person, I just feel like, leave people alone – unless you’re talking about their work or what they want to talk about. It’s a very tricky and complex issue.&#8221;
&#8220;There must be a bigger concept behind it as to why. Just let people be the people that they are, without any judgment,&#8221; she added.
The Independent provided a brief history of the media&#8217;s sexualization of Millie Bobby Brown, such as when W magazine said she was one of the reasons TV is “sexier than ever&#8221;:
<blockquote>Spilling spoilers is not the only concern the young Stranger Things cast had to contend with. Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, was listed as one of the reasons TV is “sexier than ever” by W magazine when she was just 13, among a group of much older actors including Nicole Kidman and James Franco. She subsequently spoke out against the “inappropriate comments and sexualisation” she was subjected to as a child actor. Finn Wolfhard, too, has complained publicly about receiving suggestive messages from adult fans when he was 14.</blockquote>
Earlier this year, upon her 16th birthday, Millie Bobby Brown lamented the “sexualization” and “insults” she has endured over the past few years while hoping that a change can happen for the next generation.
“16 has felt like a long time coming,” began Brown. “I feel like change needs to happen for not only this generation but the next. Our world needs kindness and support in order for us children to grow and succeed.”
“The last few years haven’t been easy, I’ll admit that,” she continued. “There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me. But not ever will I be defeated. I’ll continue doing what I love and spreading the message in order to make change.”
The streaming giant Netflix recently found itself at the center of controversy when it released a poster for the movie &#8220;Cuties&#8221; that featured pre-teen girls in sexually suggestive poses. The company apologized after severe online backlash.
“We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for ‘Cuties.’ It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which premiered at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netflix-apologizes-for-inappropriate-cuties-poster">Netflix said</a> in a statement.

‘Stranger Things’ Star Natalia Dyer Laments ‘Oversexualizing’ Of Her Young Co-Stars

Actress Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on Netflix&#8217;s hit show &#8220;Stranger Things,&#8221; turned 16 on Thursday. In a lengthy post to Instagram, the young actress lamented the &#8220;sexualization&#8221; and &#8220;insults&#8221; she has endured over the past few years while hoping that a change can happen for the next generation.
&#8220;16 has felt like a long time coming,&#8221; began Brown. &#8220;I feel like change needs to happen for not only this generation but the next. Our world needs kindness and support in order for us children to grow and succeed.&#8221;
&#8220;The last few years haven&#8217;t been easy, I&#8217;ll admit that,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me. But not ever will I be defeated. I&#8217;ll continue doing what I love and spreading the message in order to make change.&#8221;
The Instagram post included a montage video of Brown throughout the years intercut with various media clips and Twitter hot takes that were critical of her.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s focus on what needs changing, and I hope this video informs you on the things that go on behind the scenes of the headlines and flashing lights. Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll always find a way to smile,&#8221; she concluded.

Millie Bobby Brown has been subject to bizarre press coverage at times throughout her youth. At age 14, for instance, outlets like People and Page Six felt it somehow necessary and newsworthy to report on her breaking up with her boyfriend at the time, as if the relationships of 14-year-olds deserved any level of attention.
“Millie Bobby Brown Splits With Singer Boyfriend,” announced <a href="https://pagesix.com/2018/07/31/millie-bobby-brown-splits-with-singer-boyfriend/">Page Six</a>. “Millie Bobby Brown and Jacob Sartorius Split After Seven Months of Dating,” lamented <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/millie-bobby-brown-jacob-sartorius-split-after-seven-months/">US Magazine</a>. “Millie Bobby Brown and Jacob Sartorius Break Up After 7 Months of Dating,” decried <a href="https://people.com/tv/millie-bobby-brown-jacob-sartorius-break-up/">People</a>. “Millie Bobby Brown just broke up with her boyfriend in the most mature way possible,” wrote <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/01/milly-bobby-brown-just-broke-up-with-her-boyfriend-in-the-most-mature-way-possible/">The Mercury News</a>.
As reported by <a href="https://people.com/tv/millie-bobby-brown-reflects-scrutinity-16th-birthday/">People</a>, Millie Bobby Brown faced a scolding on social media when someone told her to &#8220;act your age&#8221; when she posted a photo of herself in a form-fitting dress. “[I know] everyone on my last pic wants me to ‘act my age,’ but, quite frankly, it&#8217;s my Instagram and if I choose to post that picture and you don’t like it… scroll past it,&#8221; she said in response.
