Millie Bobby Brown has officially changed her name.

The Stranger Things actress, 21, dropped the bombshell during a recent interview with her co-star, Noah Schnapp.

Speaking to VT last month, Millie revealed that she has removed 'Bobby Brown' from her moniker after marrying Jake Bongiovi last year.

Noah was asked what Millie's full name is, and while he did answer correctly, calling her 'Millie Bonnie Brown,' which was her real name before she adopted her stage name 'Bobby,' she clarified that her name has changed again since she tied the knot.

Noah's next guesses were "Millie Bonnie Brown Bongiovi" and "Millie Bonnie Bobby Bongiovi Brown," before Millie jumped in to tell him there was "no Bobby" and to "drop the Brown."

"Just drop the Brown. Drop the Bobby, drop the Brown. It's just Millie Bonnie Bongiovi," she clarified, before jokingly adding: "Millie Bon Bon."

Millie has been with Jake since 2021, with the couple making their red carpet debut in March 2022 at the BAFTA Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

They secretly married in the US in May 2024 before throwing a lavish Italian wedding five months later in October.
