In a heartwarming announcement that has thrilled fans worldwide, Millie Bobby Brown, the 21-year-old Stranger Things star, and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 23, have embarked on a new chapter of their lives as parents. The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, welcomed their first child—a baby girl—through adoption in August 2025, sharing the joyous news with a touching Instagram post.
On August 21, Millie revealed the arrival of their daughter with a simple yet heartfelt message: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.” She signed off with, “And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.” The announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Now, just weeks later, Millie has given the world a glimpse into their new family life. In a collection of tender photos shared on social media, the actress showcased Jake lovingly carrying their baby girl in a carrier as they boarded a plane. Another image captured a sweet moment of Jake kissing Millie’s cheek in a cozy restaurant setting, radiating the couple’s undeniable bond and happiness. While the photos melted hearts, Millie and Jake have chosen to keep their daughter’s name and further details of their adoption journey private, emphasizing their desire to shield their family from the public eye.
The couple’s love story began in June 2021, when rumors of their romance first sparked. After three years of dating, Millie and Jake exchanged vows in a secretive, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family. They later celebrated their union with a lavish wedding in Italy, marking their commitment in style. Their journey to parenthood, however, has been a deeply personal dream for Millie, who has long expressed her desire to become a mother.
In a March 2025 appearance on the Smartless Podcast, Millie opened up about her lifelong aspiration to start a family. “Since I was a baby, I told my mum I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me,” she shared. “My mum actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. This has been my thing since before I met Jake.” She went on to explain that Jake fully supported her dreams, adding, “I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family for me personally.”
Millie’s vision for her future doesn’t stop with one child. The actress, who comes from a family of four siblings, as does Jake, has her sights set on a large family. “I really want a big family,” she previously revealed. “It’s definitely in our future.”
As Millie and Jake embrace this new chapter, their fans eagerly await more glimpses of their journey—though it’s clear the couple will continue to prioritize privacy and love above all. For now, the world celebrates their growing family and the beautiful moments they’ve chosen to share.
