Millie Bobby Brown Celebrates 21st Birthday with a Tropical Getaway
Millie Bobby Brown is ringing in her 21st birthday in true island style!
The Stranger Things star took to Instagram on Saturday, February 22, to share a series of joyful snapshots from her sun-soaked getaway in Long Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos. Brown looked radiant in a bikini while lounging in a hammock, flipping through a magazine with the crystal-clear ocean glistening behind her.
Her birthday celebration was filled with adventure, as shown in more photos featuring Brown and her friends building sandcastles, exploring the marine life from a boat, and soaking in the island’s breathtaking beauty. She simply captioned the post: “birthday magic ✨”
A Dreamy Destination
Turks and Caicos, a British Overseas Territory nestled between the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, is renowned for its turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and luxury resorts. Visitors can indulge in world-class scuba diving, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, water sports, and private yacht excursions—making it the perfect backdrop for Brown’s milestone celebration.
Clapping Back at Critics & Embracing Change
Earlier this year, Brown addressed online trolls who commented on her appearance, criticizing her for looking “older” than her age.
“Women grow!!” she wrote in a since-expired Instagram story in January. “Not sorry about it :).”
But while she’s still one of Hollywood’s most sought-after young stars, Brown has been embracing a more grounded lifestyle away from the spotlight.
Farm Life with Jake Bongiovi
Since tying the knot with Jake Bongiovi in May 2024, Brown has been happily settling into life on a farm in Georgia—a lifestyle she’s taken to with genuine passion.
“I’m not doing it for the aesthetic,” she told Vanity Fair in an interview earlier this month. “I’m doing it because I love it.”
The actress finds true happiness tending to animals, stepping away from social media, and living life at a slower pace. “I rarely check my phone, and I have people who handle my social media,” she shared.
Despite her love for farm life, Brown made it clear that she doesn’t subscribe to the trendy “trad wife” movement—an internet subculture that romanticizes a return to traditional, old-fashioned housewife roles.
“There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not,” she said. “If you’re not picking up horse sh— or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”
Bongiovi, the son of legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, has fully embraced farm life alongside Brown.
“We were pretty united going into it,” Brown said of her relationship with Bongiovi. “We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want. It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”
A New Chapter for Millie Bobby Brown
As she steps into this exciting new chapter, Brown continues to balance her Hollywood career with her love for nature, adventure, and family life. Whether she’s starring in blockbuster films, tending to farm animals, or enjoying a tropical escape, one thing is clear—Millie Bobby Brown is living life on her own terms.
