Monique Milk is a supporting character in The Boys. She is the ex-wife of Mother's Milk and mother of Janine Milk. She is portrayed by Alvina August in Season One and by Frances Turner in Season Three.
The Boys Series[]
Monique met her future husband during his time working with The Boys. Monique was seemingly aware of her fiancé's line of work as well as the truth behind Vought International and Supes. While she loved Marvin, she made her disapproval over his profession quite clear, as well as his colleagues, particularly Billy Butcher. After the disbandment of the boys, Marvin and Monique were married and later had their daughter Janine. Monique made Marvin swear to give up on his obsession with Supes as well as never to go back to working with the CIA so as to not endanger their family.
Season One[]
Monique is unaware that MM has rejoined The Boys, until his involvement with The Boys put her and Janine on the radar of Black Noir and Homelander. Monique and Milk argue as they are taken into the protection of Susan Raynor and the CIA. In her anger and desire to protect Janine, Monique warns Marvin to stay away from them.
Season Three[]
In the twelve months after their fallout, Monique filed for divorce and retained custody of Janine. She started dating another man, Todd, but still maintained a healthy friendship with MM.
Season Four[]
When things start to get dire, M.M. urgently calls Monique and tells her to get on a plane to Belize with their daughter that evening. Monique insists he come with them so they can finally be together and as a family, but M.M. tells her he can't. He gives her $10,000 and the plane tickets. They go.
