Millie Bobby Brown, famous for her role in Stranger Things, has just announced a new name that’s causing quite a stir among fans.
While it’s not unusual for celebrities to change their names at different points in their lives, it’s relatively uncommon for them to disclose new names once they’ve already gained fame.
Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Sting are well-known examples of stars who began their careers with different names before adopting their now-iconic stage names.
However, it’s uncommon for celebrities to announce new names after they’ve already gained fame.
This is why Millie Bobby Brown’s announcement on Instagram has created such a buzz.
Brown has been keeping her followers informed about the upcoming season of the hit Netflix show.
With the new season not expected until 2025, fans are eagerly looking for any updates they can find.
Earlier this month, Brown shared several photos from the show’s set.
In one of the pictures, she has a bloody nose, suggesting that her character, Eleven, will be using her powers again.
Another picture shows tentacles from the Upside Down reaching out, and there are also a few shots of her dog relaxing on set.
But one particular photo really grabbed the attention of Instagram users.
In this image, Brown’s name is written on a piece of tape attached to a black slate.
The name begins as expected—Millie Bobby Brown—but then it adds a new twist that has fans of her personal life buzzing.
The name now reads ‘Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi,’ referencing her marriage to her husband, Jake Bongiovi.
The couple got engaged in April 2023, and in May of this year, Bongiovi’s father, Jon Bon Jovi, confirmed that they had gotten married.
In an interview with the BBC, Jon Bon Jovi shared: “They are great, they are absolutely fantastic. It was a very small, family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous. Jake is happy as can be. It’s true.”
Since the wedding was a private event, there wasn’t much for fans to see.
As a result, Millie Bobby Brown’s announcement of her new name has generated a lot of excitement among her followers.
One fan was so thrilled that they wrote in all caps: “MILLIE BOBBY BROWN BONJOVIIIII”
Another fan just remarked: “‘Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi’ got me.”
A third fan commented: “Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi sounds so powerful.”
Alongside her announcement, Brown has expressed her love for her new husband in other Instagram posts.
Last month, she called him her ‘forever wedding date.’
