Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have been making headlines for months. Previously, videos and photos of the couple went viral, showing the 'Stranger Things' actress carrying a baby carrier and two bags while Bongiovi walked alongside her empty-handed. Now, months later, Brown is addressing the issue and defending her husband.
Millie Bobby Brown Defends Jake Bongiovi
On June 11, Brown appeared on the podcast 'Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce' to discuss her life and career. She finally addressed the controversy and backlash her husband has faced due to the circulating photos and videos.
During the podcast, she said, 'Hi, I'm Millie Bobbie Brown, and I'm not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats, and stuff?' She explained that the criticism stemmed from her carrying all the items, but she had planned everything ahead. She added, 'I have been planning this all night.'
She further noted that while society promotes women's empowerment, when she actually does everything herself, people criticize her husband for not caring enough or being a poor parent. She concluded, 'Nobody knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, and will-do-anything-for-me. But he also knows I'm capable.'
Background of the Controversy
Brown and Bongiovi have been married since 2024 and adopted a baby last year. The controversy began when they were spotted in public, with Brown carrying a baby carrier and bags while Bongiovi carried nothing. Additional photos showed her pushing a stroller and carrying a bag, again without Bongiovi holding anything.
Netizens criticized Bongiovi for not helping, with many questioning his parenting. The backlash has persisted for months.
