Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Adopt Baby Daughter, Announce Parenthood
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi have officially entered a new chapter in their lives: parenthood. The 21-year-old actress revealed on Instagram that the couple has adopted a baby daughter.
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” Millie Bobby Brown wrote in a heartfelt message. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
The post did not reveal the baby’s name but featured an image of a willow tree, symbolizing growth, strength, and new beginnings.
A Young Couple, Following Family Tradition
The announcement comes just over a year after Miullie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi tied the knot. The couple married in May 2024, when Brown was 20 and Bongiovi — the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi — was 23. Speaking previously on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Brown noted that marrying young didn’t feel unusual: “We had really great role models. We didn’t see any different.”
Their family traditions seem to continue with this early step into parenthood.

Life on the Farm and Love for Animals
The couple currently resides on a farm, where their life revolves around animals as much as it now will around their newborn. Millie Bobby Brown is a long-time animal lover and advocate, affiliated with Joey’s Friends, a dog rescue organization. In fact, she has personally fostered more than 230 dogs — at one point caring for 23 simultaneously.
This compassion for animals aligns seamlessly with the couple’s decision to grow their family through adoption, underscoring their values of care and nurturing.
