Millie Bobby Brown has shared the one travel habit of Jake Bongiovi’s that gets under her skin, and it is the kind of thing many couples may recognize right away.
Every relationship has its small annoyances. You can love someone deeply and still be driven mad by one habit they refuse to drop, especially when that habit somehow becomes your problem too.
For some people, it might be loud chewing. For others, it could be leaving cups around the house or loading the dishwasher in a way that makes no sense at all. In Brown’s case, the issue seems to begin the moment a trip is planned.

The Stranger Things and Enola Holmes star said the habit usually shows up when she and Bongiovi travel together. Instead of arguing over where to stay or what to do on vacation, their travel problem starts before the packing is even finished.
Brown and Bongiovi married around two years ago and now live on a farm in Georgia, where they are raising their daughter together. The celebrity couple tend to keep most of their family life private, so even a small detail about their marriage can quickly get attention from fans.
That is what happened after Brown gave a rare peek into their dynamic in an interview clip with Crocs in August 2025. The clip later went viral, partly because the complaint was simple, funny, and a little too relatable.
Why the clip got people talking
The travel confession caught on because it felt more like a real couple complaint than a polished celebrity answer. Brown was not sharing a dramatic marriage problem. She was describing the sort of small, repeated habit that becomes funny only because it happens so often.
The clip also resurfaced at a time when fans were already interested in Brown and Bongiovi’s life together as a young married couple and new parents. The Independent reported that the August 2025 Crocs interview drew fresh attention online after Brown described Bongiovi’s approach to travel packing.
What made the story spread was not only that he forgets things. It was that, based on Brown’s telling, not packing seems to be part of the plan.
As Brown explained it, Bongiovi does not simply forget a shirt or leave a toothbrush behind. When they go away together, he apparently avoids packing clothes altogether.
That is a bold choice for any trip. Most people would at least think about the basics: passport, toiletries, phone, charger, medication, and enough clothes to get through a few days without panic-buying a whole new wardrobe.
“My husband, he doesn’t pack any clothes, just ever,” said Bobby Brown. “So, we’ll leave, and I’ll have a huge suitcase, and he’ll have nothing with him, just his phone, never really a charger, he just steals mine.”
1. Create a Cozy “Green Corner”
You don’t need a massive backyard to enjoy nature. If you live in an apartment or a house with limited space, pick one corner of your living room or balcony and turn it into your dedicated “Green Corner.”
- Arrange 3 to 4 low-maintenance indoor plants like Snake Plants, ZZ Plants, or Money Plants at different heights.
- Not only do they look incredibly aesthetic, but they also act as natural air purifiers to keep your home fresh.
2. Upcycle Old Glass Jars into Aesthetic Lights
Before throwing away those empty jam, pickle, or sauce jars, try this DIY trick:
- Wash them thoroughly and place cheap, battery-operated fairy lights inside them.
- Place these jars on your garden table, balcony ledge, or bedroom side table in the evening. It instantly creates a magical, calming vibe.
3. Turn Kitchen Waste into “Liquid Gold” for Plants
Stop spending money on expensive chemical fertilizers. Your kitchen is already full of natural plant boosters!
- Eggshells: Crush them and mix them into the soil for a huge calcium boost.
- Banana Peels: Soak them in water for 48 hours, then use that water on your plants. It’s packed with potassium, which helps flowers bloom beautifully.
4. Use Mirrors to Fake a Bigger Space
If you have a small room or a narrow hallway that feels a bit cramped, this trick works like magic.
- Hang a medium-to-large mirror on a wall opposite a window.
- The mirror reflects natural light throughout the room, instantly making the space look twice as big and significantly brighter.
5. Give Your Old Garden Pots a Colorful Upgrade
Plain, muddy terracotta pots can look boring after a while. Give them a new lease on life with a quick afternoon DIY project.
- Grab some acrylic paint and paint your pots in bright, cheerful colors like pastel yellow, mint green, or classic white.
- You can add simple geometric patterns or dots. It’s a fun activity that adds an instant pop of color to your garden or windowsill.
