Millie Bobby Brown says motherhood has always been part of her dream — long before she and husband Jake Bongiovi announced the adoption of their first child.
On Aug. 20, the couple revealed on Instagram that they had welcomed a baby girl this summer through adoption, writing that they were “beyond excited” to begin this new chapter.
Brown, who married Bongiovi in 2024 after confirming their relationship three years earlier, had previously opened up about her hopes for a large family. In a podcast interview earlier this year, the Stranger Things star spoke candidly about her outlook on parenting and the possibility of adoption.
“I really want a big family. I’m one of four, he’s one of four, so it is definitely in our future,” she said at the time. “I don’t see having your own child as really any different as in adopting.”
She added: “For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything. We’re wanting to start a family and it doesn’t matter in what way or when, but it will happen for sure.”
In their joint announcement, Brown and Bongiovi emphasized their desire to embrace parenthood “in both peace and privacy.” They have not yet shared their daughter’s name.
