Before the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere, rumors of a David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown feud raced faster than any Upside Down chase, mingling with speculation about spies, Steve’s fate, and hidden betrayals. Fans dissected every look and pause, imagining tension off-camera, until Harbour and Brown stepped onto the red carpet laughing, posing for photos, and proving that friendship, not friction, ruled the day. Gossip had no chance against their radiant camaraderie.

Now not a critic can poke, with Millie Bobby Brown’s cakes and cheers on full display.

Any lingering rumors of a rift between David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown were completely squashed by Harbour’s presence at Brown’s intimate birthday party. The actress, who turned twenty-two earlier this week, hosted friends and family at Maison Close in Soho, New York City. Harbour’s early arrival and late departure, as per TMZ, confirmed that their camaraderie still stood strong.

Millie Bobby Brown and her boyfriend Jake Bongiovi appeared picture-perfect, with Brown in a chic white dress holding what appeared to be a Union Jack and Bongiovi in a thick black coat with a frilled white dress shirt. Guests reportedly danced and mingled well into the early hours of Saturday morning.

Among the attendees were Brown’s mother and grandparents, reality stars Whitney and Conner Leavitt, director Shawn Levy, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Harbour kept a low profile in a black baseball cap, yet his thick beard and signature coat made him instantly recognizable, according to TMZ sources. Meaning that the internet has to learn to fact-check its rumors, such as Brown's $18 million deal with Netflix.
