Drake
Although the “Hotline Bling” rapper is 15 years her senior, Drake and Millie have carved out a mutual respect for each other. “I love him. I met him in Australia and he’s honestly so fantastic, and a great friend, a great role model,” Millie said of their friendship in 2018. In a separate interview that same year to W Magazine, Millie revealed, “We text all the time now. He helps me with everything, just life lessons. He’s amazing. He’s a great human being.”
When she reiterated her feelings on the Emmys red carpet in 2018, controversy followed. “We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like, ‘I miss you more,'” Millie told Access Hollywood. The comments resulted in fans questioning their relationship due to the large age difference.
As Millie is wise beyond her years, she wasn’t having it and defended their friendship, later taking to Instagram stories to say, “Why u gotta make a lovey friendship ur headline? U guys are weird… for real.”
Shiloh Jolie Pitt
Back in 2019, Millie was spotted numerous times hanging out with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh Jolie Pitt. The fast friends even invited Shiloh’s sister Zahara to a lunch in July of that same year.
Taylor Swift
Millie took one of the most epic selfies with Taylor Swift, where the pair look like old chums! Millie and her two sisters, Paige and Ava, managed to find their way backstage and take the adroable snap, per Billboard. Millie posted the sensational snap to her Instagram, captioning it, “Look what u made me do,” in a reference to one of Taylor’s hit songs.
Noah Schnapp
Millie is undoubtedly buddies with many of her co-stars that make up the huge cast of Stranger Things. She’s appeared to really take a liking to Noah Schnapp, as the BFFs are constantly sharing photos of each other to their social media accounts.
Winona Ryder
As a Hollywood vet, Winona Ryder has a few things to teach a fledgling like Millie. However, it appears Millie gets to offer advice too, as she explained to Winona how to navigate Snapchat. “Millie teases me. I’m like the old grandma. ‘Snack chat? Give me a piece of that!’ I’m like the confused older person,” Winona told Marie Claire in 2017.
Sophie Turner
Sophie Turner is not only a friend to Millie — but also a devotee. “I love Millie Bobby Brown,” Sophie told ET at the 2016 Emmy’s. “Oh my God, she’s amazing. How is this happening? There are, like, 12-year-old kids who are ten times better than all the adults. They’re showing us all up. It’s embarrassing.” Millie, in turn, gave Sophie a tribute for her birthday, writing on Instagram, “Happy birthday to the coolest girl I know! Thank you for being such a great role model! Love you Soph.”

Maddie Ziegler – who has worked with Sia and found fame on Dance Moms – is another famous friend of Millie’s. “We’re two people that are so happy that we found each other because we could relate to each other, and we’re not brats in this industry and can just enjoy time together. We relate in so many ways being in the industry,” Maddie told Seventeen back in 2018.
