If you ever fantasized about leaving it all behind and moving to a farm, reigning “trad wife” Millie Bobby Brown has a warning: It involves a lot more sh*t than you could imagine — and she means that very literally.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Millie Bobby Brown, who’s gearing up for the long-anticipated release of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, opened up about her current farm lifestyle and took the chance to dispel some myths about the so-called “simple life.”
ICYMI: In 2024, MBB married Jake Bongiovi, and the couple has since relocated to a farm in Georgia, where they care for their pets (including her beloved therapy poodle Winnie) alongside sheep, goats, cows, and donkeys — all while fostering dogs for Brown’s animal rescue center, called Joey’s Friends.
While Brown’s farm life might seem more than aspirational as a divisive “trad wife” content gains momentum on social media, the actor insists she is “not doing it for the aesthetic.” Because, in fact, the aesthetic in question is oftentimes a lot less idyllic than what most would picture.
“If you’re not picking up horse sh*t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all,” Brown explained to the publication. “I’m doing it because I love it,” the actor also clarified. “There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not.”
