Millie Bobby Brown and Hunter Ecimovic have been rumored to be a couple for quite some time now. But what happened between them that caused all the speculation? What did they say or do to indicate they were dating? And are they now together in real life? Here’s everything we know about their relationship so far.
Millie Bobby Brown’s First Date With Hunter Ecimovic
In 2020, Millie Bobby Brown was in an unhealthy situation, as she referred to it, with TikTok personality Hunter Ecimovic. She was a minor at the time, but he wasn’t. Millie Bobby Brown was 16 when the first photos of them together were taken, while Hunter Ecimovic was 20.

In an interview with Allure, Millie Bobby Brown said:
“I felt very vulnerable. Also, no one on the set knew I was going through this. So, it was kind of nice to be able to just deal with that myself and no one else knew. Then it was harder when the whole world knew.”
She was affected by this toxic environment, but no one on the set knew what was going on. Given her close friendship with Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in Stranger Things, many people were shocked to know that even he was unaware of the situation.
In July 2021, it was revealed that Millie Bobby Brown and Hunter Echo had been in a relationship when Brown was only 16 and he was 20. After fans called him out on their age gap, the influencer took to Instagram Live to make hurtful and crude statements about Millie Bobby Brown, including that the two were in a sexual relationship and had been residing in her parents’ house for eight months — he also called her a “coward.” He even claimed to have “groomed” the young star at one point.
At the time, her reps denied his “offensive” remarks about Millie Bobby Brown, saying:
“Mr. Ecimovic’s remarks on social media are not only dishonest, but also are irresponsible, offensive and hateful. Instead of engaging in a public discourse with him through the press or on social media, we are taking action to ensure that he stops this behavior once and for all.”
Meanwhile, Hunter Ecimovic, who had previously stated that he would “never apologize,” eventually posted a (since-deleted) TikTok video apologizing for his public outburst, saying “it should have never happened in the first place.” He also revoked his acceptance of grooming her, saying:
“4 years isn’t a big deal. I never groomed her. I never put pressure on her to like me? So crazy how you guys care about other peoples lives this much… It was consensual on both parts. Her parents approved of everything. I was living under their roof.”
This is what Hunter Echo said to minimize any wrongdoing. It honestly feels like an apology made out of self-preservation rather than contrition.
While Millie Bobby Brown considers her experience with Hunter to be a “blip” in her life (she’s since moved on with Jake Bongiovi), his comments were still hurtful, and she’s spent the past year “healing” from it.
Here is what she said in the same interview with Allure:
“When you get publicly humiliated this way – I felt so out of control and powerless. Walking away and knowing that I’m worth everything and this person didn’t take anything from me, it felt very empowering. It felt like my life had finally turned a page and that I actually had ended a chapter that felt so f**king long.”
She then added:
“Ultimately, all I wanted to do within my career is help young girls and young people out there know that I, too, go through things. I’m not this perfect person that is selling skin-care products and [who is] in Stranger Things. I absolutely have made wrong decisions.”
