Barron Trump is 19 years old, stands 6’7”, was readily associated with his father’s re-election, and is probably the most famous college freshman in America. His NYU classmates find him to be as big a mystery as the rest of the world. Unlike his father, Barron does not speak publicly nor operate a public social media account, which, by all appearances, has only deepened his mystique. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” said Kaya Walker, the president of the campus College Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.” So what do fellow NYU classmates make of Donald Trump’s youngest son?

Online chatter about Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi swirled as the pair became engaged, but the couple knew they were ready for the next step in their relationship. Bongiovi is “the first man I’ve ever loved and been in love with,” Brown tells VF. “We talked about our political views,” says the ‘Stranger Things’ star, “what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want. It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was.” For VF’s March cover story, Brown discusses building a life with her husband on her Georgia farm, the end of ‘Stranger Things,’ and how “harsh” public scrutiny shaped her career choices.

Saying goodbye to Eleven was particularly difficult for ‘Stranger Things’ star Millie Bobby Brown. The hit Netflix series took over much of her life during her adolescence, and Brown says that growing up in a bubble with her castmates limited her social development. They were schooled privately on set. They played games together between shoots. But then COVID isolated them even further. “I don’t have many friends, because of who I am,” she says. “I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills when it comes to people my own age and friendships. I struggle with that quite a bit. I missed out on a few things. But I’m working through them.” In VF’s March cover story, Brown reflects on her tearful last day on set, how “harsh” treatment she received on social media as a child actor informed her self-image as an adult, and settling down with Jake Bongiovi.

Presenting our March cover star,?Millie Bobby Brown. After skyrocketing to fame at the age of 12, ‘The Electric State’ and ‘Stranger Things’ star is finally putting herself first—and settling down on a farm in Georgia with husband Jake Bongiovi. The combination of Brown’s youth and the rate of her ascendancy—as well as the noxious combination of vile men and the internet—has made for some rough terrain. It’s clear Brown is poised to have a strong career after the Netflix series, but she’ll be taking some scars on the journey. “I don’t allow many people into my life, and when I do, I think it should be super moderated,” she tells VF. “I started this really young, and I felt that the press specifically was very, very harsh on me.” For VF’s March cover story, the actor discusses how she knew Bongiovi was the one, parting ways with ‘Stranger Things,’ her new sci-fi movie ‘The Electric State,’ and how the treatment she received on social media and from the press as a young actor affected her.
