Millie Bobby Brown’s dog has done nothing stranger than become a big sister.
After the Stranger Things star and husband Jake Bongiovi confirmed they had welcomed a baby girl through adoption in August, she admitted that one member of the family, her dog Winnie, has been less than thrilled by the new addition.
“It’s been a hit to the ego,” Millie admitted during a Dec. 7 appearance on The Tonight Show. “I think she doesn’t understand it. She hasn’t acknowledged her presence yet, but my daughter has now totally figured out that she’s an animal.”
The 21-year-old admitted that her pup is going through a “power play” with her baby girl.
“She’s like, ‘I’m gonna ignore you until you disappear,’ basically,” Millie continued. “I’m like, ‘Winnie,’ I have sit-downs with her, like, ‘She’s not going anywhere now.’"
But the pooch has even begun acting out over the battle for attention.
“Last night, she took one of my daughter’s bath toys and ran it upstairs,” Millie shared. “I said, ‘I saw you do that,’ and she poked her head around the corner and death-stared me. She knew. She stopped on the stairs to be like, ‘Yeah, that’s right. What are you gonna do about it?’”
Of course, Millie has been so engulfed in motherhood, it’s natural her poodle would have a little jealousy.
“It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey—she’s taught us so much already,” Millie told British Vogue in an interview published last month. “Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”
And the Enola Holmes star emphasized that Jake, 23, is just as floored by their daughter.
“We are 50-50 on everything,” she explained. “That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life—he is just the most amazing dad.”
