Millie Bobby Brown marked her 22nd birthday in New York City alongside her Stranger Things co-star David Harbour, amid previous reports of tension between the two actors. The celebration, held at Maison Close Restaurant, brought together key cast members and close friends, signaling a possible resolution to earlier conflicts.
The birthday dinner took place on a Friday night in New York, where Millie, known for her role as Eleven on Netflix’s hit series, chose a traditional sit-down meal over the iconic Eggo waffles favored by her character. She arrived with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, dressed in a white-and-pink ensemble, accompanied by members of her team.
David Harbour, the 50-year-old actor who plays her on-screen father, joined the gathering along with castmates Jamie Campbell Bower, Shawn Levy, Whitney Leavitt, and Conner Leavitt. This reunion came after nearly five months of reported strain, stemming from Millie’s filing of a bullying and harassment complaint against David that was internally investigated over several months. Despite the allegations, they presented a united front at the Stranger Things season five premiere, with Millie recently referring to David as “family.”
The atmosphere at the restaurant suggested that previous issues may have been put behind them, allowing the actors to reconnect in a positive way. Reflecting her gratitude, Millie shared on Instagram the day before her birthday,
“Grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals. I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes.”
