Millie Bobby Brown made an Instagram post dedicated to her husband on Father’s Day. The post showed a loving hug between the two outside. In the clip set to 'Married Life' by Gina Luciani, the candid post shows the duo hugging and covering the face of their child with a pumpkin sticker. 

“Happy father's day!!! i knew from the moment we met, you were going to be the best dad… we love you too much dada,” the Stranger Things star wrote, expressing her love and admiration for her husband.

Since the arrival of their daughter, Brown has given a peek into family life here and there while largely keeping her child’s identity private.
