Millie Bobby Brown<\/a> wants to be pushing her own stroller, actually. On Thursday\u2019s episode of Kylie Kelce\u2019s Not Gonna Lie podcast<\/a>, the actress addressed ongoing speculation<\/a> that her husband, Jake Bongiovi, wasn\u2019t helping her out enough with their daughter, whom they adopted<\/a> last year. \u201cWhen did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats, and stuff?\u201d Brown asked Kelce. \u201cThis stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid, and people are like, \u2018Your husband doesn\u2019t hold a single thing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Brown is referring to a series of photos<\/a> and videos<\/a> over the last six months that sparked criticism online from people who felt Brown was doing the brunt of the physical labor in the relationship, particularly when it came to child care. Last month, the 22-year-old was pictured pushing a large stroller down the street, while Bongiovi walked empty-handed beside her. Earlier this year, Brown was photographed carrying two backpacks and the baby in a large carrier, while Bongiovi was lingering nearby with one bag strapped to his back, again with two free hands. Based on the images, social-media users worried<\/a> that Brown was \u201ccarrying the entire family \ud83d\ude2d\u201d (literally).<\/p>\n Millie Bobby Brown is defending Jake Bongiovi after fans criticized her husband for not carrying her bags or pushing their baby’s stroller during various recent outings.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Not Gonna Lie pic.twitter.com\/X0txyvVOLy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 TMZ (@TMZ) June 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n But that\u2019s not at all how Brown sees things. On the podcast, she noted her husband is \u201cthe most polite, sweetest man [who] will do anything for me,\u201d and, crucially, \u201calso knows I\u2019m capable.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re all about empowering girls, like, \u2018You got it, you don\u2019t need a man!\u2019\u201d she told Kelce. \u201cBut then when I\u2019m like, \u2018Okay, I can carry my own things,\u2019 people are like, \u2018Where\u2019s your husband?!\u2019\u201d So the next time you see Brown pushing her huge stroller<\/a> around Soho with her husband somewhere nearby, just bear in mind she chose to do that.
