British actress Millie Bobby Brown stepped into the spotlight at just 12 years old when she played Eleven in the hit series Stranger Things. Around 2021, rumors began swirling about a romance with Jake Bongiovi (yes, the son of the legendary Jon Bon Jovi), and in 2024 the two tied the knot.

Now, just a year into their marriage, the couple has shared deeply personal news: they’re officially parents. That’s right — without fans or the media knowing, they’ve welcomed their first daughter together. But it didn’t happen the way many might assume. Instead of a pregnancy, the couple chose adoption.

The reveal came through Instagram, where Brown posted a short but heartfelt message: “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. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi”.

This decision has sparked all kinds of reactions on social media. For them, though, the equation is simple: what matters is family, not biology.

The actress had already admitted in past interviews that becoming a mother was one of her biggest dreams. On the Smartless podcast, she said she didn’t see a difference between a biological child and an adopted one: “What’s important is building a home full of life and love.” And judging by this news, that wish came true much sooner than anyone expected.

Their Dream of a Big Family

Both Millie and Jake grew up in large families, and from the start of their relationship, they pictured themselves surrounded by kids.
In another conversation, this time on Call Her Daddy, Millie even shared that she once warned Jake she’d be willing to shave her head again — just like she did for her role as Eleven — if that’s what it took to make life easier when caring for a baby. Something that fully shows she’s embracing this new chapter.

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already added actress, entrepreneur, author, fashion icon — and now, mother — to her list of titles. And while her daughter grows up away from the spotlight, Millie is proving that fame can wait: what truly matters is writing her own story, away from scripts and closer to love.
