Noah Schnapp wasn’t happy to see his strange co-star and close friend Millie Bobby Brown become a mom.
While talking to E! News on Tuesday, September 9th, 20-year-old Schnapp shared, “I’m really happy with her,” and responded to the news for the first time.
The actor, who first met 21-year-old Brown while filming season one of Stranger Things in 2015, added an actress who recently welcomed baby girl in her adoption.

Schnapp’s latest comments come after he admitted through years of friendship that he was “hard” to all Brown’s boyfriends, but meeting her now husband, Jake Bongiovie, 23, was different.
He said during the opening night of Stranger Things: The first Shadow Broadway showed the show in April.
“It was what I was first when I was like, ‘What you know, I’ll accept it. I’ll be fine in this long term.'” he joked.
Brown and Bongiovy announced their baby news on Instagram on Thursday, August 21st.
“This summer we welcomed a sweet baby girl through adoption. We are excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” Brown wrote in the post, “And there were three.”
The pair sparked rumors of romance when Bongiovi shared a selfie with the actress in June 2021. They were “a little friend,” the actress told Wired in 2022 before they started dating. The couple then secretly married in May 2024.

After news broke that Brown had expanded her family, sources told people that even before she and Bongiovie tied the knot, they often talked about how they wanted to raise their family in their youth.
“She’s very young, but she’s very focused, and she has the biggest heart,” the source told people. “There’s no doubt she’s a great mom. Almost everything she’s pointing to her heart, she crushes it.”
“And they’ve really worked on creating this special family life in Georgia. She loves her farm and it’s going to be a special place for babies to grow,” the insider continued. “Even before they got married, she often talked about her desire to be a young mother. And Jake was always on the same page. They’re together.”
Last March, the actress wanted to have a family with Bongiovie while appearing on an episode of the Smart Res Podcast. At the time, she said she was really looking forward to becoming a mother.
“My mother actually had her first child at age 21. My dad was 19. And all you know was me even before I met Jake,” Brown said. “I was a baby so I told my mother like I was a mother. I wanted to be a mom like my mother.”
“And my nan, my grandmother, she was a big part of my life. And, yeah, Jake knows how important it is to me. And of course, I really want to focus on establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I think it’s so important to follow the padcast and start a family for me. “That’s a big deal. Jake was like, ‘We can’t do that until we get married.’ That was about him. ”
