Actress Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi have shared joyful news—they have adopted a baby daughter. The couple revealed the milestone in a heartfelt Instagram post, announcing that they are “beyond excited” to begin their journey into parenthood together.
The message, signed by both Millie and Jake, read: “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. And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake.”
While the pair chose not to disclose the name of their daughter, their announcement included the symbolic image of a willow tree, representing growth, strength, and family.
A Love Story Leading to Parenthood
The adoption comes just 15 months after Millie, 21, married Jake Bongiovi, the 23-year-old son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi. The couple tied the knot in May 2024 after several years of dating.
Interestingly, Millie and Jake’s story began in an unconventional way—the two met through mutual friends, and Millie herself made the bold move of reaching out first. Their relationship quickly blossomed, eventually leading to marriage and now, parenthood.
Speaking previously about marrying young, Millie explained that their choice wasn’t unusual given their family backgrounds. Both of their parents had also wed at a young age, serving as role models for their relationship.
Life on the Farm and Passion for Animals
The couple currently lives on a farm surrounded by animals, reflecting Millie’s lifelong passion for animal welfare. She is actively involved with a rescue center known as Joey’s Friends, through which she has helped save over 230 dogs.
At one point, the actress was personally fostering as many as 23 rescue dogs in her own home, showcasing her deep commitment to animal advocacy. This love for animals has become a defining part of her life outside Hollywood.
Career Highlights and Future Projects
While her personal life takes on a new chapter, Millie Bobby Brown remains at the center of global attention for her acting career. She rose to fame at the age of 12 through her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, a series that became one of Netflix’s most successful shows.
The final season of Stranger Things has already completed filming and is scheduled for release at the end of 2025, bringing the supernatural saga to a close.
Beyond the series, Millie has built an impressive filmography. She recently wrapped filming on the third installment of the Enola Holmes franchise and has also starred in Damsel and The Electric State for Netflix, as well as appearing in the blockbuster Godzilla films.
Public and Fan Reactions
The adoption news has sparked an outpouring of love and support from fans across the world. Social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages, with many calling the announcement “heartwarming” and “inspiring.” Admirers praised the young couple for embracing parenthood at such an early stage in their lives, while others highlighted Millie’s compassion and maturity beyond her years.
Some fans also drew connections between her nurturing personality—evident in her dedication to rescuing animals—and her new role as a mother. Many expressed excitement at seeing Millie step into this chapter while continuing her successful acting career, calling her “a true role model.”
A New Journey Ahead
The adoption of their daughter marks an exciting new chapter for Millie and Jake, who now embrace life as a family of three. Their journey, blending love, family, career, and animal advocacy, continues to inspire fans around the world.
For Millie, who has already conquered Hollywood at a young age, this next step into motherhood represents not only personal fulfillment but also a chance to grow beyond her on-screen persona. With Jake by her side, the couple is ready to face the joys and challenges of raising their child while balancing thriving careers and their shared passions.
