Millie Bobby Brown is embracing her life on a farm in Georgia.
“I’m not doing it for the aesthetic,” Brown, 20, told Vanity Fair in an interview published on Wednesday, February 12. “I’m doing it because I love it.”
Brown explained in the profile that she does not buy into the “trad wife” concept, which rejects the idea of a modern feminist and glorifies an old-fashioned lifestyle with a “traditional” housewife.
“There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not,” Brown said. “If you’re not picking up horse shit or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”
The Stranger Things star — who barely checks her phone and lets others handle her social media, but is in the loop about what content will be published — noted that she feels her happiest while on her farm.
“I don’t have many friends, because of who I am,” she said. “I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit. I missed out on a few things. But I’m working through them.”
From the farm, Brown — who houses dogs rescued from local kill shelters — runs an animal rescue organization named Joey’s Friends, where she hopes to have pooches available for adoption. One of the dogs inside her barn is a bulldog named Mama, who Brown had transferred from Yogi’s House, which Nicola Peltz Beckham helps run.
Mama has her own tiny treadmill with a small television, which plays a Yule log. “Mama got donations from Nicola’s fans,” Brown explained to the outlet with a laugh.
Brown’s husband, Jake Bongiovi, has also welcomed the quieter pace of living. Brown and Bongiovi, 22 — who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley — wed in May 2024 after first being linked three years before.
“We were pretty united going into it,” Brown said of Bongiovi. “We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want. It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”
