Millie Bobby Brown marked her 22nd birthday with co-star David Harbour in New York City, surprising fans given recent tension reported between the two. The celebration took place at Maison Close Restaurant, where the Stranger Things stars shared a memorable evening, highlighting a potential reconciliation amid past conflict.
The event offered a warm contrast to Millie’s character Eleven’s usual affinity for waffles, as she opted for a traditional dinner with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, and close friends. Millie wore a delicate white-and-pink dress, enjoying the night in a lively atmosphere.
David Harbour, now 50, joined the gathering later alongside Jamie Campbell Bower and others including Shawn Levy, Whitney Leavitt, and Conner Leavitt. This reunion follows months after Millie reportedly filed a bullying and harassment complaint against David, which was investigated internally over several months.
Despite the previous allegations, Millie recently referred to David as “family” and appeared united with him during the Stranger Things season five premiere. Their birthday reunion suggests that earlier disagreements may have been resolved or set aside for now.
A day before the party, Millie shared gratitude on Instagram, writing,
“Grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals. I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes.”
Not All Castmates Joined the Birthday Event or Maya Hawke’s Wedding
While several familiar faces attended Millie’s birthday dinner, some Stranger Things cast members were noticeably absent. For instance, besides Jamie Campbell Bower, the rest of the core cast did not appear at the celebration.
Millie, David, and Noah Schnapp were also not present at Maya Hawke’s surprise wedding to Christian Lee Hutson on Valentine’s Day. Instead, other castmates such as Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton took part in the wedding festivities.
These absences highlight ongoing complex dynamics among the Stranger Things ensemble, with certain members gravitating toward separate occasions and events.
