Millie Bobby Brown has gone to the Upside Down and back with her “Stranger Things” costars, but she only granted one the honor of being her child’s godfather.

During the Season 5 premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, the 21-year-old mother revealed on the red carpet that her castmate Noah Schnapp is her daughter’s godfather after she was asked who she trusts to babysit.

Sadie (Sink) is very, very maternal, but Noah is godfather, so,” Brown told Entertainment Tonight at the event.

The “Enola Holmes” actress clarified that she trusts all of her “Stranger Things” family to take care of her baby.

“They all turn into the most gooey soft versions of themselves. Their baby voice comes out when they’re around her, so it’s amazing,” she added.

Millie and Noah became ‘besties’ on the show

Both Brown and Schnapp, who play Eleven and Will Byers, respectively, on the hit Netflix series, were spotted on the red carpet saying they became “besties” on the set.

Emotions were high across the cast on Nov. 6 at the world premiere as they said goodbye to the show ahead of the final season premiering on Netflix the day before Thanksgiving, Wednesday, Nov. 26.

“It’s so sad I just can’t believe it’s over. I love them all dearly, family for life,” Schnapp told USA TODAY on the red carpet.

Brown adopted a baby girl earlier this year

Brown revealed on social media over the summer that she had adopted her daughter alongside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 23.

“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” Brown and Bongiovi wrote in a joint Instagram post Aug. 21. “And then there were 3.”

Brown confirmed her relationship with the son of Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi in 2021, and then in 2024, they got married in a ceremony officiated by Brown’s TV “papa,” Matthew Modine, who played Dr. Martin Brenner.

The actress said the biggest adjustment to motherhood has been the lack of sleep.

“There is nothing like losing sleep, it’s truly you wake up and are like, ‘what time is it?’ But anything she needs, I’m there for,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
