Millie Bobby Brown has inadvertently incited a wave of criticism against her husband, Jake Bongiovi, after airing her grievance about his annoying travel habit in an interview.
The 22-year-old Enola Holmes star and the 24-year-old son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi tied the knot in May 2024 and announced they had adopted a baby girl the following August.
In an August 2025 interview for Crocs, which has just resurfaced on social media, Brown shared her biggest travel pet peeve. “My husband, he doesn’t pack any clothes, just ever,” Brown said. “So we’ll leave, and I’ll have a big suitcase, and he has nothing with him.
“Just his phone, never really a charger. Usually, he just steals mine and then takes his computer. Then he goes, ‘Mill, I don’t have any clothes,’” she continued. “And I go, ‘No s***, Sherlock. You didn’t pack anything.’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just have to go shopping here.’ And that is where he gets you. So he likes to not pack, to then go to a place to go shop for the trip that he didn’t pack for.”
On X, where one clip of the interview has more than 6 million views, users did not take kindly to the revelation.
“I actually can’t even fathom her being okay with his,” one person wrote, amassing 46,000 “likes.”
“Millie B. Brown shouldn’t be mothering her husband,” another fumed. “Literally every time something comes out about them: a photo, a video, an interview, etc., it’s Millie who does everything like a functional adult, and then there's him acting like a 10-year-old kid.”
“She’s worked since she was an actual child for everything she has and he was just birthed into it with no worries in life,” added a third.
“He’s such a manchild sorry,” wrote a fourth.
“Millie Bobby Brown you are an amazing woman and deserve better than that useless entitled man child you sadly call a husband,” added another.
However, some people came to the rock star’s son’s defence. One wrote: “Did yall not hear her say he does it so he has an excuse to go shopping for clothes because it’s what he likes doing. I do the exact same thing with some things. He’s not a manchild, the dude just has a shopping addiction it’s really not that deep.”
The Stranger Things alum has spoken about her husband’s shopping tendencies in the past. During a 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy, Brown said that Bongiovi was the one who “splurged” on a big purchase.
“I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I need socks.’ And he’ll be like, ‘Let's go to Prada,’” the actor told host Alex Cooper. “And I’m like, ‘Let’s go to Target.’ He’s just that kind of guy. He loves to go shopping. He will refuse to pack a suitcase because he likes to go shopping at the place we’re going.
“Where I’m like, ‘Amazon Basics.’ I love that. When I do spend money on something, I have to call my parents. I have to think about it. I don’t just buy it right away.”
