Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Welcome Adopted Baby Girl
A New Chapter for the Young Couple
Millie Bobby Brown has just stepped into a role even bigger than any she has played on screen: becoming a mother. The 21-year-old Stranger Things star and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 23, announced that they have adopted a baby girl.
The couple shared the news on Instagram with a simple but heartfelt image: a sketch of a tree paired with the caption, “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 3.” The post was set to the Beatles classic “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” a playful nod to the ups and downs of life.
Parenthood Was Always Part of the Plan
For Brown, starting a family has long been a dream. In an interview earlier this year, she spoke about her desire to become a young parent and her strong belief in adoption. Now living with Bongiovi on a farm filled with animals, the couple have built a life that reflects both her nurturing nature and his easygoing charm.
Brown’s love for caregiving is nothing new. Through her involvement with an animal rescue shelter, she has helped rehome more than 200 dogs and personally fostered many. Friends and fans alike say her adoption news feels like a natural extension of the compassion she has always shown.

From Hawkins to Hollywood and Beyond
The announcement comes at a significant moment in Brown’s career. At the end of 2024, she wrapped filming on the final season of Stranger Things, the Netflix series that made her a global name at just 12 years old. The show is set to conclude later this year, marking the end of an era not only for fans but also for Brown, who grew up on set.
Her career hasn’t slowed. She’s already starred in films like Damsel and The Electric State, and she is set to return to the big screen in the upcoming Enola Holmes 3. With her marriage to Bongiovi, her thriving career, and now motherhood, Brown is balancing public life with the personal one she always imagined.
Public Response
The adoption news has been met with a flood of supportive comments. Fans congratulated the young couple for choosing adoption and praised their decision to begin parenthood with such openness. Others highlighted how Brown, who has been outspoken about privacy in the past, struck a careful balance in her announcement: sharing the joy while protecting her child’s identity.
For many, her journey resonates with broader conversations about adoption, youth, and family. Brown and Bongiovi’s story reflects a new generation of celebrities who are determined to make family choices on their own terms, away from the usual Hollywood glare.
