Published 06/09/2025, 10:12 PM EDT

Netflix may have crowned her a superpowered teen, but away from Hawkins and demogorgons, Millie Bobby Brown reigns over a different kind of kingdom, one filled with hay, hooves, and heart. Nestled in the Georgia countryside, her sprawling sanctuary of animals feels like something out of a modern fairy tale. But this week, it got a little more magical. Or should we say... maternal? Something precious just trotted into the spotlight.

While Millie Bobby Brown’s on-screen life deals with strange things, her real life just delivered something even stranger — and far more adorable — straight from the Georgia countryside.

Millie Bobby Brown broke the cutest kind of news on her Instagram Story: her beloved donkey Betsy had given birth to a baby named Florence June Bongiovi, officially making the Stranger Things star a grandma. The milestone moment was first teased back in March on The Drew Barrymore Show, where Drew Barrymore playfully declared her a “grandmother” on air. Cue applause, awws, and the mental image of Brown as a farm fairy, beaming with barnyard pride.

Long before Florence’s fluffy ears wiggled into the world, Millie Bobby Brown sensed something was up. Taking matters into her own hands, she busted out a personal ultrasound machine, as one does, to confirm her hunch. She recalled with a laugh that her husband, Jake Bongiovi, thought she was “crazy” for suspecting anything. But a vet confirmed her instincts: Betsy was six months pregnant. The cherry on top? A BBC Radio 1 listener helped name the baby: Florence June Bongiovi.

Far from the Hollywood spotlight, Millie Bobby Brown’s Georgia farm boasts over 60 animals, and she is no absentee caretaker. “I do all their medical records myself,” she proudly shared with Vanity Fair, while studying veterinary care online. Between goats, cats, dogs, and a gang of donkeys, her days are packed with feeding, cleaning, and cuddling. Florence may be the newest, but she joins a seriously pampered pasture crew.
