In the Spotlight:
- Millie Bobby Brown turns 22 with a private gathering in NYC.
- Stranger Things costar David Harbour joins birthday festivities.
- Bash comes months after the on-set bullying report headlines.
- Stars, family, and close friends share heartfelt moments at SoHo dinner.
Millie Bobby Brown marked her 22nd birthday on Feb. 20 with a cozy late-night gathering at Maison Close in New York City, surrounded by family, friends, and her husband Jake Bongiovi.
The event drew attention not just for the milestone, but because it came months after reports emerged that Brown had allegedly filed a bullying and harassment complaint against her longtime co-star, David Harbour, ahead of filming Stranger Things season 5.
A United Front with David Harbour
According to People.com, Harbour quietly joined the celebration, reinforcing a decade-long bond that has weathered both headlines and on-set scrutiny. The mother of one told the publication that she and Harbour have “always been united” and that they “value their friendship more than anything.”
Photographs captured Harbour joining the festivities alongside castmates and friends, highlighting the nostalgic dynamic between the pair as the series nears its final season.
Despite the harassment reports, Brown has reiterated that she felt safe on set and cherishes the working relationship that has spanned ten years.
SoHo Dinner Highlighting the Personal Side
Page Six emphasized the personal nature of Brown’s birthday, noting that the celebration was filled with close friends, family, and fellow cast members. Brown shared a picture on her Instagram with her daughter, reflecting on her husband, loved ones, and sharing gratitude even for her animals.
The SoHo venue offered a low-key, meaningful atmosphere, a deliberate choice over a grand Hollywood party, showcasing the actress’s preference for authenticity and connection over the digital noise of the industry.
Legacy and Forward Momentum
Beyond the birthday, Brown’s milestone serves as a reminder of her evolution from child star to a poised industry force. With Stranger Things approaching its final season and a decade-long career already filled with critical acclaim, Brown continues to balance personal milestones with professional achievements.
Her strong relationships, both on- and off-screen, underscore the authenticity that has made her one of Hollywood’s most admired young talents. She is increasingly following the ‘mogul blueprint’ set by established hollywoodicons like Brad Pitt, proving she is a rare example of a star trading digital noise for a legacy of real-world substance.
