The two have worked closely on the show in their roles as Eleven and her adoptive father, Jim Hopper, respectively, for a decade, starting when Brown was 11 years old. Now, Brown and Harbour\u2019s offscreen relationship is being dissected following [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s a show that went on for 10 years. We worked together for 10 years during her formative teenage years, playing father and daughter,\u201d Harbour told <i>Variety<\/i>. \u201cI don\u2019t know if people have families and friends that you spend a lot of time with for 10 years \u2014 you occasionally get in arguments [or] disagreements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He continued, \u201cIn families, it\u2019s OK because you\u2019re just in a disagreement and then you come back together. The problem with a billion-dollar show is that there\u2019s just hundreds of people who want to get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Without detailing what happened with Brown, Harbour told the outlet that it was \u201cjust a simple rupture-and-repair thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOnce we cleared everybody out of the way and talked to each other, we\u2019re fine,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone nowadays is very scared of talking about things. People are very scared of being human. It\u2019s unfortunate, because I don\u2019t know how to navigate this weird media world. But it was completely normal, and we adore each other and always have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brown, for her part, concurred with Harbour\u2019s sentiment in a separate statement shared with the outlet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cObviously, I changed so much from season 1 to season 5, and David was there through all of it,\u201d Brown told <i>Variety <\/i>via email statement. \u201cOver time, our relationship became much more collaborative creatively. When you work with someone for that many years, we could really push each other emotionally in scenes. Even though the series has ended, there\u2019s still a lot of gratitude. Getting to share that experience with him for so many years is something I\u2019ll always remember and value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Within days of news of Brown\u2019s alleged accusation, she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/stranger-things-millie-bobby-brown-david-harbour-reunite-amid-bullying-claims\/\"><span class=\"s1\">reunited with Harbour<\/span><\/a> at the <i>Stranger Things <\/i>season 5 premiere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe\u2019re so lucky to have each other,\u201d the British actress <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/millie-bobby-brown-gushes-over-david-harbour-amid-bullying-claims\/\"><span class=\"s1\">told <i>Extra <\/i>on the red carpet<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe show means so much to the both of us, and to everyone here.
