Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has revealed a special family connection within her Netflix cast. During the Season 5 premiere, the actress confirmed that Noah Schnapp has been named the godfather of her newly adopted baby girl. Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, welcomed their daughter earlier this summer via adoption, marking a private yet joyous new chapter in their lives.
The actress made the announcement in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, praising her co-stars for being part of her extended family.
During the red-carpet conversation, Millie Bobby Brown emphasized her deep trust in her Stranger Things family. She spoke affectionately about Schnapp’s emotional support and Sadie Sink’s nurturing personality around her baby.
Schnapp, speaking to E! News, echoed her sentiments, calling the cast “a genuine family” that grew up together on set. Their close friendship, built over years of shared screen time, continues to evolve into lifelong bonds.
The Stranger Things ensemble, having started their careers as young teens, have now transitioned into adulthood together — a rare, enduring Hollywood friendship.
In her recent British Vogue interview, Millie Bobby Brown explained her and Jake Bongiovi’s decision to keep their daughter’s identity private. The couple, who announced the adoption in August via Instagram, requested peace as they embraced parenthood.
Brown told the magazine that motherhood brought her “endless joy”, cherishing the small, ordinary moments filled with “cuddles and laughter.”
The actress highlighted her duty to safeguard her child’s privacy — a value she considers essential in the digital age.
As production continues on Stranger Things Season 5 — the series’ final chapter — Millie Bobby Brown continues balancing her on-screen commitments and private family life. While no further details about her daughter are expected, fans can anticipate seeing Brown return in Netflix’s upcoming projects following the show’s conclusion.
The announcement reinforces her strong off-screen relationships, especially with Noah Schnapp, and her commitment to building a grounded family beyond fame.
