Millie Bobby Brown is no longer Millie Bobby Brown.
The Enola Holmes star, 21, left fans seriously shocked after she revealed her new name last week during a promotional interview for Stranger Things season five.
It's been a busy few years for Millie, who tied the knot with Jon Bon Jovi’s son, Jake, 23, last year and in August this year, the couple announced that they had adopted a baby girl together.
Not to mention the release of part one of the final ever season of Netflix's Stranger Things, in which the actress has starred as Eleven since 2016.

And it was actually during the press tour that Millie opened up about her new name after getting married - and there's more than one change.
Speaking to VT, she sat down with her co-star Noah Schnapp, also 21, who plays Will Byers on the show.
Noah was put on the spot and asked by the interviewer: "What is Millie's full name?"
He joked: "Oh. Millifer? I don't know!" To which he went on to break down Millie's name down into every possible variation of the monikers she's had, before getting it right.
The names: 'Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown Bonjiovi' were hilariously all reshuffled many times until he landed on the right one.
Giving him a little help, Millie told Noah to 'drop' the 'Bobby and the Brown' to which he finally said: "Oh, Millie Bonnie Bonjiovi!"
"That's it," she said, joking: "Millie Bon Bon!"
So, in case you missed that moment, yes, Millie Bobby Brown's real name is Millie Bonnie Bonjiovi - with Bonnie being her real middle name and Bonjiovi being her new married name.
It comes after a Buzzfeed UK interview earlier this year, where the actress revealed her middle name is actually Bonnie and has never been Bobby, she just decided to change it.
Speaking to her The Electric State co-star Chris Pratt, she revealed at the time: "My middle name is Bonnie," which led him to question: "Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown?"
She clarified: "No, it’s not Bobby. It’s Millie Bonnie Brown. I’ve never told anyone that. You heard it here first."
Fans of Millie have rushed to social media to react to her latest moniker change after tying the knot with hubby Jake.
One Twitter user penned: "That name actually flows way better than I expected."
While a second agreed: "Even if she stopped using her original last name, I get it, Millie Bobby Bongiovi is genuinely a gorgeous name."
And a third wrote: "Millie Bongiovi has a better ring to it. The Bobbie Brown always threw me off."
Someone else commented: "Millie Bonnie Bongiovi has a nice ring to it."
However, with all the different names flying around, fans have been left confused, with some reports claiming her new married name is 'Millie Bobby Bongiovi'.
One person responded to a tweet announcing this with: "Didn't she say Millie Bonnie?"
While another said: "Is that her new stage name? Cause I swear in an interview she said her name was Millie Bonnie Bongiovi."
Anyway, we've heard it straight from Millie's mouth that her new name is Millie Bonnie Bongiovi, so we'll go with that!
