Actress Millie Bobby Brown, famous for her role in Stranger Things, has surprised fans by announcing she and husband Jake Bongiovi have welcomed their first child—a baby girl—through adoption.
On August 21, she made the announcement on Instagram, sharing her excitement while requesting privacy. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” she wrote. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter in peace and privacy.”
Earlier this year on the SmartLess podcast, Millie had talked about her family dreams. She spoke about wanting a big family and how important her grandmother’s influence was on her desire to be a mom.
She also touched on adoption, saying she sees raising an adopted child as equally meaningful as having biological kids. “Our home is full of love,” she said, explaining that she and Jake want their home to be open and welcoming to all.
Fans have been touched by Millie’s openness and joy in sharing her journey into parenthood.
