netflix's "stranger things" season 5 world premiere

It’s been nearly a decade since Stranger Things first debuted on Netflix, and it’s hard to believe that the fifth and final season is almost here...and that the cast is now totally grown up. As a reminder, season 5 consists of eight episodes that will be released in three parts, with Part I (which includes the first four episodes) dropping on November 26. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how things will end for the Hawkins crew, but I can tell you all about who the Stranger Things cast is dating in real life.

Over the past nine years, several of the show’s cast members have found love off-screen, including Millie Bobby Brown (who’s now married to Jake Bongiovi), Gaten Matarazzo (who’s been with fellow actor Lizzy Yu for yeeeears), and Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton (who—surprise!—have been dating pretty much since the show began). For all the deets on the Stranger Things cast’s relationships, keep on reading (and btw: If you want to know all about the Stranger Things cast’s net worths, I’ve got ya covered there, too).

After just about two years of dating, Bon Jovi’s son proposed to the Stranger Things star in April 2023, and just about a year later, they tied the knot. Then, in August 2025, the couple took to Instagram to announce they’d adopted a baby girl together.
