Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi announce adoption of baby girl

Millie Bobby Brown has announced that she and her husband Jake Bongiovi have welcomed a baby girl through adoption.

The Stranger Things star shared the news with her 67 million Instagram followers on August 21, confirming that the couple has officially embarked on a new chapter in their lives.

“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” Brown wrote in her post. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, also included the heartfelt phrase, “And then there were three,” signaling their transition into parenthood.

Brown, 21, has previously been open about her hopes to start a family. Just months earlier, she spoke on the SmartLess podcast about wanting a large family and emphasized that she viewed adoption as equally meaningful as having a biological child. “I don’t see having your own child as really any different than adopting,” she said at the time. “For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything.”

Her husband Jake Bongiovi, the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi, has also expressed excitement about building a family with Brown.

The actress, best known for her role as Eleven in Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, described motherhood as a lifelong dream, saying she values the experience of raising a family more than the idea of a perfect wedding.

With this announcement, Brown and Bongiovi join a growing list of young celebrity couples choosing adoption as their path to parenthood.
