Millie's parents and siblings are the people who have kept her grounded during her rise to fame. In aninterview withGlamour UKin August 2020, the actress spoke about constantly traveling for work and how she loves being able to come home to her family in Atlanta.
"Genuinely I love hanging out with my family, they are just the coolest people, they're like my friends," she said. "I always thought to myself, 'I'm losing out on friendships and school.' But do you know what? I'm not, because I love my family. I love being home-schooled because it gets me to be like having that job that I've always wanted."
Millie also credits her family for helping her deal with the bullying she has faced online. She toldAllureshe has "struggled with self-identity" working in Hollywood, and her family reminds her to tune out the hate.
"It's really hard to be hated on when you don't know who you are yet," she said. "Then you just start shutting down because you're like, 'Who am I meant to be? Who do they need me to be for them?' Then I started to grow more, and my family and friends really helped."
Millie added: "It helped to be able to understand that I don't need to be anything they said that I need to be. I just have to develop within myself."

Paige produces films alongside Millie under their family's production company, PCMA Productions. The two sisters produced their first project together,Enola Holmes, in 2020.
Speaking with theLos Angeles Timesin September 2020, Paige said she was the one who discovered theEnola Holmes Mysteriesseries by Nancy Springer and introduced it to her sister.
"[Enola] really just struck me as a really great character," Paige said. "Millie at the time was a bit younger [than Enola] but I was thinking ahead and thought, 'This would be really great onscreen.' "
Millie told the outlet she "fell in love with Enola" and was "immediately excited" about bringing the story to life. The two sisters also revealed that they "work really well together" and were heavily involved in developing the story.
"I think that maybe the challenging part of this one was wondering whether we were going to have the same ideas creatively," Paige explained. "We never really came to any creative differences."
AsVarietyreported, Paige and Millie will also produce the upcoming drama filmA Time Lost,based on an original story written by the two sisters. Most recently, they worked as producers onEnola Holmes 2and the upcomingEnola Holmes 3.

"I'm 18 — I directed this film when I was 17 — and I think we definitely need more young women out there to feel welcome and supported because our age doesn't actually matter," she said. "It's a new generation of people, and our expression needs to be adapted to it."
Millie also discussed why she decided to bring Charlie onto the project.
"I wanted to bring in my brother because he also is young, and I wanted to have that useful voice coming through in the film's photography," she toldGlamour UK.

"They're all like, 'Ah Millie, really you got another job, ugh.' They don't even know I'm here tonight. They know I'm in New York, and they know I'm probably doing something, but yeah, they won't watch this," she said. "They haven't seenStranger Things. They don't really care, which I love that. It's great, 'cause ya know there's no Eleven jokes in the house. It's just me."

While Paige and Charlie both worked with Millie onEnola Holmes 2, they also served as her support system on set. The actressspoke with Esther Zuckermanfor the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations at Home series in November 2022, revealing that having her siblings on set gave her "comfort."
"Leaving yourself behind for months on end, it can be really isolating, and sometimes you know to be able to turn and see my brother and to see my sister ... and they're also just incredible collaborators and creatives that I probably got most of the creativeness from them," she said. "And just to have them on set was, I mean, just this comfort blanket but also a certain level of respect that I had never really known that I really had for them."
She added, "My brother would hug me on set, and he's very professional, and I was always just kind of like, 'Charlie, let's have lunch together.' It was really sweet, and you know the cast gets along so great with my family as well because of how involved they are with the film."
Millie also had her family on hand for the premiere ofEnola Holmes 2in October 2022. ShetoldExtraon the red carpet that having them there "means everything."
"I mean, I wouldn't have gotten this film if all of these people weren't here, so for them to be here and to support me, they know that my life wouldn't go on without them, and they need to come here and celebrate with me," she said.
