Millie Bobby Brown, Jake Bongiovi adopt a baby girl

Actor Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi have embraced parenthood. The 21-year-old actor and her 23-year-old husband announced in a joint Instagram statement that they have adopted a baby girl.
In their announcement, Millie and Jake 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.” They ended their message with, “And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi (sic).”
In March, Brown expressed her desire to start a family with Bongiovi, recalling how her own parents became parents at a young age. Speaking on the SmartLess podcast, she shared, “My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. This has been my dream since before I met Jake,” adding, “I wanted to be a mom in the same way my mom was to me.”
She added, “Jake knows how important it is to me. Like, 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 personally.”
Brown also expressed openness to adoption, sharing, “For me, I don’t see having your own child as really any different as adopting.”
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi got married in a private ceremony in May 2024, followed by a lavish celebration in Italy five months later.
