Millie Bobby Brown is officially a mom! The Stranger Things actress, 21, and her husband Jake Bongiovi, 23, have welcomed their first child together through adoption. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram on August 21, writing, \u201cThis 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.\u201d Their joint post ended with the sweet line, \u201cAnd then there were 3,\u201d confirming the beginning of their journey as parents.<\/p>\n
Millie and Jake\u2019s love story has been followed closely by fans ever since it began in 2021. The pair first connected through Instagram, sparking rumors of romance after Jake shared a selfie with her. Brown later revealed in an interview that they were \u201cfriends for a bit\u201d before officially dating. Fast forward to May 2024, and the couple secretly tied the knot before celebrating their wedding with friends and family in Italy at the stunning Villa Cetinale. Their posts from the day showed them exchanging vows under a floral arch, with Millie writing, \u201cForever and always, your wife,\u201d and Jake echoing with, \u201cForever and always, your husband.\u201d<\/p>\n
Starting a family has always been something Millie dreamed of. Earlier this year, she spoke on the Smartless podcast about how she always wanted to become a mother, inspired by her own mom who had her first child at 21. \u201cSince I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me,\u201d she said. Millie also highlighted how both she and Jake come from big families, each being one of four siblings, and shared that she has never seen adoption as being any different from having a biological child.<\/p>\n
In another interview, Millie reflected on how she and Jake made sure to have deep conversations before marriage, discussing everything from political views and family goals to careers and the kind of home they wanted. For her, these talks were about making sure their relationship was rooted in shared values and long-term commitment. She added that she always knew things felt right with him. Now, with the arrival of their daughter, it seems the couple is stepping into the family life they had always envisioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
