Millie Bobby Brown can finally raise a glass in celebration of her birthday as she turned 21 on February 19.
The Stranger Things actress' big milestone is extra special this year as it marks her first birthday since she became a wife.
Millie secretly married Jake Bongiovi in the US in May 2024 before throwing a lavish Italian wedding in October.
Millie and Jake flew their family and friends out to the Italian countryside for a beautiful wedding in the rolling Tuscan hills with their ceremony taking place in a stunningly kept garden with luscious green fir trees.
Both the actress and her husband shared respective photos on their Instagram accounts, with matching captions as Millie wrote: "Forever and always, your wife", while Jake wrote: "Forever and always, your husband."
Millie and Jake got engaged in April 2023, sharing the news on Instagram with a black-and-white image of the two standing on a beach.

However, Millie had no intention of becoming a wife until she met her now-husband. "That was never my intention, to be a wife," she explained to Glamour UK.

She explained: "He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that. I was like, 'Oh, I do want this.'"
It's not just her new married status that makes her 21st a poignant day – it's also her first major life event since she wrapped filming on Stranger Things.

Reflecting on the memories she has made during her time on the show, Millie posted a carousel of photos to Instagram alongside a video of her giving a tearful speech.
She said: "Graduation is supposed to bring relief like you’re glad to leave behind the teachers and classmates – not me.

Millie has yet to reveal her big birthday plans but if it's anything like her 20th, she will certainly have an incredible time.

For her luxury dinner, Millie wore a strapless, satin mini dress that hugged her figure and showcased her toned legs.

During the meal, Millie was presented with a delicious-looking cake that was covered in white icing and featured 'Twenty' written in black icing along the top, as well as black bow embellishments.
