Matthew Modine, who plays Millie’s on-screen ‘papa’ in Stranger Things, officiated her wedding to Jake Bongiovi – but what do we know about her real parents, who have caused controversy in the past?

Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown recently dropped a series of photos of her lavish Italian wedding on Instagram, months after she and Jake Bongiovi secretly tied the knot in May 2024.

“Forever and always, your wife,” Brown wrote below stunning images of her fairy tale Tuscany wedding. The actress stunned in a custom Galia Lahav dress while Bongiovi, the son of Jon Bon Jovi, looked dapper in an ivory tuxedo jacket. Bongiovi, 22, posted his own carousel of photos on Instagram with the matching caption, “Forever and always, your husband.”

The intimate wedding ceremony was only attended by the young couple’s closest friends and family. Bongiovi’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Bongiovi, and Brown’s parents, Robert and Kelly Brown, were all there, according to The Sun. The wedding was officiated by none other than actor Matthew Modine, who plays Brown’s on-screen “papa” in Stranger Things.

But what do we know about the Enola Holmes star’s real parents, who initially struggled financially to support her acting career? Here’s everything we know about Robert and Kelly Brown.

Robert and Kelly have four children

Robert and Kelly Brown welcomed Millie Bobby Brown in Marbella, Spain on February 19, 2004. She is the third of their four children.

Millie has an older sister, Paige, who is a film producer with her company, and has worked on films including Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2 as well as Godzilla vs. Kong. Her older brother Charlie is a photographer, and the siblings have collaborated on shoots together, per People.

The youngest of the Brown bunch, Ava, was featured in a photo shoot for Millie’s make-up brand Florence by Mills, and inspired the brand’s “Ava’s Mini Essentials Kit”.
