Millie Bobby Brown has officially erased her iconic stage name from existence, confirming she is now legally and personally known as Millie Bonnie Bongiovi following her marriage to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi earlier this year.
The revelation came during a light-hearted interview with VT magazine alongside her Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp, who repeatedly failed to guess her new full name. After several wrong attempts that still included “Brown,” the 21-year-old actress intervened and declared that both “Bobby” and “Brown” have been permanently dropped, leaving her new legal name as Millie Bonnie Bongiovi – a change she playfully celebrated by dubbing herself “Millie Bon Bon” because of the rhyming middle and last names.
Millie and Jake Bongiovi, 22, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in May 2024 after announcing their engagement in April 2023. The couple’s decision to marry young drew considerable online scrutiny, which Millie addressed in British Vogue, stating she had always known she wanted to build her life early and felt completely certain about her relationship with Bongiovi despite public criticism.

The name change marks the latest chapter in Millie’s rapid transition into adulthood and family life. Over the summer, the couple adopted a baby girl, making the Stranger Things breakout star a mother at 21. Speaking on the Smartless podcast, Millie revealed that early parenthood felt entirely natural to her, pointing out that her own mother had her first child at the same age and that she had long envisioned becoming a young parent long before meeting Bongiovi.
With the final season of Stranger Things now streaming and her new identity officially embraced, Millie Bonnie Bongiovi appears fully ready to close the Eleven chapter and step confidently into the next phase of her personal and professional journey under her married name.
