First making waves with her standout performance in the series Intruders, she quickly rose to fame and captured global attention with her iconic role as Eleven in the wildly popular Netflix hit Stranger Things. Over the years, she continued to build an impressive filmography—taking on the lead in the 2019 box office sensation Godzilla: King of the Monsters and stepping into the title role of the 2020 mystery film Enola Holmes, further solidifying her status as a leading young actress in Hollywood.
Before all the spotlight, though, her journey began with smaller roles, including appearances as Young Alice in a few episodes of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Born in Marbella, Spain, she spent her early childhood there before relocating to Bournemouth with her family at just under five years old. Later, in 2011, she moved to Orlando, Florida, marking another chapter in her life. She grew up with siblings—her brother Charlie and sisters Paige and Ava—who’ve remained close throughout the years.
Interestingly, she was born with partial hearing loss in one ear, which eventually led to complete hearing loss in that ear over time. Despite this challenge, she pursued her passion for acting with determination. In fact, back in 2015, she even considered leaving the industry after missing out on the role of Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, a moment that nearly changed the course of her career. Thankfully, she pushed through, and the rest is history.
When it comes to her personal life, she’s had several high-profile relationships. She was linked to Jacob Sartorius from late 2017 to mid-2018, followed by a relationship with Romeo Beckham. Then, in late 2019, she started dating rugby player Joseph Robinson, although their romance ended about 10 months later. By 2021, she found love again—with Jacob Bongiovi. Their bond grew strong over the years, and in a heartfelt celebration in May 2024, the couple tied the knot, marking a joyful new milestone in her life.
Throughout it all, she’s remained grounded, resilient, and deeply committed to her craft. With each role, she continues to evolve—not just as an actress, but as a person who’s unafraid to face challenges head-on. And as her story unfolds, one thing remains clear: she’s here to stay.
When she’s not busy acting, she dedicates her time to training as a boxer, showcasing her passion for fitness and discipline. Over the years, she’s made memorable appearances on popular TV shows—she guest-starred in episodes of Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy back in 2015, further proving her range as a performer. Fans might also recognize her from the music world; she appeared in the hit music video “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5, and yes—she even stepped in to perform Cardi B’s part during some of the band’s live shows, bringing serious energy to the stage. In 2019, she took another exciting step forward by launching her own beauty venture, Florence by Mills, a makeup and skincare brand that reflects her personal style and values. And when it comes to education, she’s just as committed—she began taking online classes at Purdue University in 2022, balancing her academic goals with her growing career. She continues to inspire through her drive, versatility, and dedication across so many different areas.
