Are Stranger Things stars Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard dating in real life?

There are dozens of reasons to love Stranger Things, but we cannot deny that many fans find the adorable coupling of Mike and Eleven, or “Mileven” as fans have taken to calling their relationship, a significant draw. Even as pre-teens, it always seemed like Mike and Eleven were somehow meant to be. But does that attraction translate off-screen to actors Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard?

Having known each other since they were literal kids, Finn and Millie appear to have forged a close bond, but no, they are not dating each other in real life. As far as we know, the two have never “officially” dated. If they have, they’ve kept private about it.

That hasn’t stopped rumors from flying, especially from the actors’ young fanbase who frequent social media. Even one of their co-stars, Noah Schanpp, fueled rumors when he tagged Millie and Finn in a post that read, “Tag two people that want to hook up with each other to make things awkward.” Maybe we’ll find out the truth in a few years when the pair are full-grown adults and have put the show behind them.

Millie has had a few public relationships as a teenager, but behind-the-scenes, none of the Stranger Things actors seem to have dated their co-stars–with one notable exception for Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer.

Who is Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown dating?

Eighteen-year-old Brown is currently dating Jake Bongiovi, son of rockstar JonBon Jovi and wife Dorothea. The pair made their red carpet debut during the BAFTA Awards in March 2022. They appear to have been together since mid-2021.

Who is Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard dating?

While not confirmed, internet sleuths and rumor mills have believed Finn has been dating Doll & Em actress Elsie Richter since sometime in 2021. If the two really are together then the couple has tried to keep their relationship private, which makes sense considering how intense internet fandom can be sometimes, especially for stars as popular as the Stranger Things cast members.

Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 premieres on Friday, May 27 and the second volume drops on July 1, only on Netflix.
