Take one look at her social media, and you'll see Millie Bobby Brown is an intensely private person. Not only that, but she also feels that while social media has its uses, she likes to draw the curtains on her private life every now and then...
Millie Bobby Brown Has No Social Media On Her Phone
Best known for the Netflix series "Stranger Things" and also the movie franchise "Enola Holmes" young Millie Bobby Brown is on a diet. But it's a social media diet, brought about by the fact that her team censors it all for her.
She spoke to "Women's Wear Daily" recently, using the platform to launch her new perfume, Wildly Me, by her beauty brand, Florence By Mills.
It's not as if she doesn't use social media, she does, especially to see how people use Florence. But it's a sparing interaction with TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram. Says Brown, "It’s really cool. Even though I don’t have those social media actually on my phone, I get to have people send them to me. It’s really cool to see how people use the brand in their own way. In most of the tutorials, I always say ‘You can do it like this, but ultimately it’s your journey.’ They’re your products."
Mostly though, she lets fans have a little glimpse of her life with pictures of her with her fiance Jake Bongiovi, and more pictures of dogs up for adoption. Given that Brown has faced online bullying, she mostly keeps the good part, saying, "I personally feel it wasn’t adding anything to my life. And I felt positive when I didn’t have it on my phone."
She added that this made her feel that she could live her life with more confidence and freedom, and better mental freedom. Said the 19-year-old, “I just feel better for it. But that doesn’t mean that the good social media I don’t get to see: I just have a wonderful team that kind of censors it all so that I can protect myself."

She Plans To Keep Her Wedding A Closed Affair As Well
Brown and her fiance, Jake Bongiovi, have also been getting a ton of flak for being "too young to be engaged, let alone married."
Given the negativity surrounding the couple, with many on social media saying this is more of a money-driven relationship than a real one, it's not surprising that MBB is sticking to being private while planning her wedding.
The pair revealed their engagement in April and the wedding plans are underway, with Brown saying, "I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once. And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me."
“So I feel it’s important to keep those things, those small precious moments in life, really close to your chest. I can say that the planning is going — it’s so fun and it’s such an exciting time in my life.”

Millie Bobby Brown Is Looking Forward To New Beginnings & Endings
MBB is excited about her new fragrance, plus, she's also penned down a new book. "Nineteen Steps," out mid-September, and it's the tale of Brown’s family history, set in 1940s Bethnal Green, London with plenty of romance in it.
Says the actress, "I think it’s nice for people to have a look through a window and see how my heart is because so many people love my characters and are interested in my characters."
Meanwhile, she is waiting for SAG-AFTRA actors’ and writers’ strikes to resolve so that the final season of “Stranger Things” can kick off. The finale is something she finds bittersweet but after years of the series, she's ready to give it a closing, happy to move on to something new and exciting. Till then, she's spending time with her fiance and many, many animals, planning a wedding not many would be privy to. And that's okay!
