Millie Bobby Brown & Jake Bongiovi Just Made a Shocking Announcement: They Welcomed a Baby Girl!

Millie Bobby Brown has some exciting news: she’s a mommy now! The Stranger Things alum announced today that she welcomed her first baby with husband Jake Bongiovi, and we are so happy for them!

The 21-year-old announced on Instagram that she and her husband, 23, adopted a baby girl over the summer. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” Brown wrote in a picture message with a willow tree. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood both in peace and privacy.”

“And then there were 3,” she added. “Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”

The Enola Holmes actress dated Bongiovi for three years before getting married in a secret wedding in May 2024. Even though she kept her plans to adopt a secret, she has been open about wanting to start a family at a young age.

“I’m still really young. My mum actually had her first child when she was 21, and my dad was 19,” Brown said on the SmartLess podcast in March. It’s been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom … I wanted to be a mom just like my mom was to me.”

“Jake knows how important it is to me. Of course, 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.”

She shared that Jake did not want to talk about family planning until they got married, adding, “I really want a family. I want a big family. I’m one of four, he’s one of four. So it is definitely in our future.”

“For me, I don’t see having your own child as really any different as adopting,” she said. “… My home is full of love for anyone and anything. And so, that is what we kind of stand by. The energy in our house is the door is always open, and we want everyone to feel comfortable.”  

“We’re very much, like, we’re always going to be wanting to start a family. It doesn’t matter in what way or when, but it will happen,” she added.

Congratulations to the growing family!
