“Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown has spoken out against criticism aimed at her husband, Jake Bongiovi, regarding his parenting abilities. The couple, who welcomed their daughter through adoption in the summer of 2025, faced backlash over photos showing Brown carrying a car seat and backpacks. Brown addressed the issue during an appearance on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, emphasizing her capability to handle her own belongings.
In a clip from her podcast interview shared on social media, Brown questioned the notion that women are incapable of carrying their own things. She defended her husband, stating that he is supportive and understanding of her independence. Brown highlighted the importance of empowerment and self-sufficiency, expressing frustration at the double standards faced by women in similar situations.
Kylie Kelce, a mother of four, praised Brown’s remarks, emphasizing the shared belief in self-reliance. Brown and Kelce bonded over their mutual understanding of being strong, independent women. The couple, who married in May 2024 and celebrated a second wedding in Italy later that year, announced the birth of their daughter in August 2025.
