Actress Millie Bobby Brown, best known for her role in Stranger Things, has stepped into motherhood.
The 21-year-old star and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 23, announced on Thursday that they have welcomed a daughter via adoption.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the couple wrote, “And then there were 3.” Brown added in her post, “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.”
According to People, the couple first connected through Instagram and began dating after being friends for a while. They sparked romance rumors in June 2021 when Bongiovi shared a selfie with Brown, eventually tying the knot in a private ceremony in May 2024. Later, in October, they celebrated their union at Villa Cetinale in Italy with family and friends.
Brown shared wedding photos on Instagram with the caption, “Forever and always, your wife.”
Bongiovi posted his own set of images with the words, “Forever and always, your husband.”
Among the moments captured were the couple exchanging vows under a white floral arch and family portraits, including one with Jake’s father, musician Jon Bon Jovi.
Earlier this year, Brown opened up about her desire to start a family while speaking on the Smartless podcast. “My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it’s been my thing since before I met Jake. Since 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,” she said.
She also shared that building a family has always been a priority alongside her acting and producing career. “Jake knows how important it is to me… but of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer. It’s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing,” Brown added.
The Electric State actress revealed that she and her husband both envision having a large family, as they each come from households with four children.
