We’re so excited for Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, who are officially parents now after adopting a baby girl! The couple shared their joyous news in a heartfelt joint Instagram post, marking a significant milestone in their lives together. In their original announcement, they ended with words fit for the occasion: “Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.” They included the emotional wording, “And then there were 3,” marking their transition to a new family structure.
Their journey to parenthood started mere months after their marriage in May 2024, exchanging vows during an intimate ceremony at home. In September 2024, they rejoiced in their partnership with a second wedding in picturesque Tuscany. On Instagram, they published ecstatic photos from their picturesque coastal wedding. Throughout the property, the couple’s love for family takes center stage. Interestingly, Jake and Millie each come from families with four kids (three siblings), just like our nation’s original founding-family.
So, it’s no surprise that actress Millie Bobby Brown has publicly and extensively, in print and on podcasts, shared her aspirations to motherhood. On the “Smartless” podcast, she expressed her views on adoption, stating, “I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.” Her attitude showcases a fierce, maternal, and universal concept of family defined by love and acceptance.
Indeed, the young actress has had motherhood on her mind for a long time. “Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me,” she stated in a prior interview. Her early experience imbued her with a deep sense of commitment to family prerogatives. Having young parents had a huge impact on her perception of parenthood.
“I want to focus on establishing myself as an actor and producer, but want to start a family,” Millie shared in March 2025. This tension between career goals and home life reflects her drive not only to pursue her aspirations, but to build a nurturing world for her daughter.
Millie shared how they advocated for a supportive environment for their daughter. “For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I — our energy in the house is like, ‘The door is always open,’” she remarked. As she’s seen through her renovation process, this sentiment shows her desire to create a comfortable home for their expanding family.
