Millie Bobby Brown recently offered a glimpse into her experience as a new mother, sharing the first photo of her adopted daughter on Thursday.

Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in Stranger Things, unexpectedly revealed she adopted a child in a social media post on August 21st. She married Jake Bongiovi last year.

The post read: ‘This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption.’

We’re thrilled to begin this new journey as parents and respectfully ask for privacy during this special time.

‘And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.’

The new parents lovingly looked at their baby daughter, and you could see her sweet face and small hand in the photo.

On July 20 Brown  dropped a hint there was a baby in their life.

Okay, so I was *totally* scrolling through Instagram and saw a picture posted by Brown, and it was everything! She posted a photo of Bongiovi pushing a stroller! A STROLLER! The caption just said ‘helluva summer thus far,’ which is so cryptic, but honestly, it just made me even *more* obsessed. Everyone’s trying to figure out what’s happening, but I think it’s obvious… something amazing is going on, right?! I’m losing it!

They got married in May 2024 and had talked about starting a family, considering both having children and adoption, and hoped to have a large family.

Earlier this year she said she wanted to be a mother. 

While on the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the actress shared that she’s excited about becoming a mother, even though she knows she’s still young.

She shared that her parents were very young when she was born – her mom was 21 and her dad was 19. She added that dealing with this family dynamic has always been a part of her life, even before she met her partner, Jake.

Ever since I was little, I dreamed of being a mother, wanting to be just like my own mom. My grandmother was also incredibly important to me and played a big role in my life.

I’ve always known how much Jake means to me, and right now, I’m really focused on building my career as both an actor and a producer. But honestly, starting a family is something I deeply want for myself, too. It feels like the right time to think about that next step.

‘It’s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.’

Brown then added: ‘And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family.

Both my partner and I come from families with four children, so we’re open to having a large family someday. But personally, I don’t see a big difference between having a biological child and adopting one.

She explained that her and Jake create a very welcoming home, filled with love and acceptance. They always want people to feel comfortable and consider their home a place where anyone is welcome – the door is always open.

She made these remarks shortly after telling Vanity Fair in February about her relationship with Bongiovi, noting that they generally agree on important issues and are very close.

She said they had discussed their hopes for the future – everything from politics and family life to their ideal home, relationship, and careers.

This was a big decision, and we really wanted to be certain we were doing the right thing. I felt confident in my choice; being with him always felt natural and right.

Jesse Bongiovi, son of singer Jon Bon Jovi, began dating Kortnie Brown in 2021, and they got engaged in April 2023.

The couple got married in a beautiful ceremony in Italy in May 2024. They exchanged vows at Villa Cetinale in Tuscany.
