Millie Bobby Brown stepped out for dinner in Mayfair on Wednesday evening with her Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp, her husband Jake Bongiovi and her parents.
The actress, 22, was spotted leaving Turkish restaurant Sheesh alongside Schnapp, 21, who she became close friends with on the set of the Netflix show. Brown wore a black trench coat belted at the waist over a red top, blue jeans and gold heels.
They were joined for dinner by Bongiovi, 24, who wore a green suede jacket with jeans and trainers.
Family joins the dinner
Brown's parents, Robert and Kelly Brown, were also spotted with the group, wearing similar denim and white outfits for the family dinner.
The Enola Holmes star is currently in the UK following a summer getaway to The Dolomites in Italy, where she holidayed with Bongiovi and their daughter.
Brown married Jon Bon Jovi's son in May 2024 and went on to adopt a little girl last summer. During the recent Italy trip, she wore a white sundress in a photo she posted of the family walking alpacas in the Italian hills, and she also shared a shirtless snap of her husband while the pair sunbathed together.
Rare insight into motherhood
Brown recently gave a rare glimpse into her life as a new mother during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. "My baby girl's growing, she's gorgeous," she said.
Reflecting on how the couple's parents have taken to the newest member of the family, she added: "They're all obsessed with her, she doesn't ever really get put down. Jake's dad always says, 'She's just gonna be, you know, carried for the next 18 years.'"
Defending her husband from trolls
Brown has also fiercely defended Bongiovi from dad-shaming trolls. Images of the couple went viral earlier this year after Brown was seen carrying a car seat and two backpacks, before later sightings showed her pushing a suitcase and her daughter's pram at the same time, drawing criticism aimed at her husband.
Speaking on the Not Gonna Lie podcast, she said: "I'm not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats and stuff?"
She continued: "This stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid and people are like, 'Your husband doesn't hold a single thing.' And I'm like, 'Because I'm three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night.'"
"We're all about empowering girls and, 'You got it,' and, 'You don't need a man.' But then when I'm like, 'OK, I can carry my own things,' people are like, 'Where's your husband?'"
Brown added: "Nobody knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, will-do-anything-for-me. But he also knows I'm capable."
Plans for a growing family
Elsewhere on the podcast, Brown revealed she had always dreamed of adopting children, saying that even as a young child she imagined her dolls were adopted rather than pretending to be pregnant or having biological children.
She said she intends to carry a biological child someday. "It's not because I don't want that," she said. "Hopefully one day that's in my future."
