Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi, son of singer Jon Bon Jovi, have officially become parents after adopting a baby girl this summer. The couple shared the heartwarming news on Instagram on August 21, confirming that their family of two has now grown into three.
In their joint statement, the pair wrote, “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. And then there were 3.”
Millie Bobby Brown, 21, who tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi, 23, last year, had previously spoken about her strong desire to start a family. On the Smartless podcast earlier this year, the Stranger Things actress revealed that she always dreamed of becoming a young mother, much like her own parents, who had children at an early age.
The actress emphasized that while she is focused on her career as both an actor and producer, building a family has always been equally important. Interestingly, she had also mentioned that adoption was an option she would happily consider—a decision that has now become reality.
But the couple’s journey doesn’t stop here. Millie candidly shared that she envisions having a big family, just like both she and Jake experienced while growing up. “I really want a big family. I’m one of four, he’s one of four, so it is in our future,” she explained.
Currently living on a farm in Georgia, Millie expressed her excitement about raising her child in a lively and love-filled environment. She described her home as a space filled with “laughter, passion, and chaos”, a place where she truly thrives.
Fans around the world are celebrating the announcement, with many congratulating the young couple on their new journey into parenthood. As Millie Bobby Brown steps into this new chapter, she is making it clear that family is at the heart of her life, and the adoption is only the beginning of her dream of raising many children in a warm and vibrant home.
