Millie Bobby Brown Wants More Kids After Adopting Her Daughter

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s family has grown. The two stars announced on Aug. 21 that they had welcomed a baby girl into their lives via adoption. While they have yet to post photos of their daughter or reveal her name, Brown and Bongiovi’s announcement may have included a telling hint.

Brown and Bongiovi, who married in the summer of 2024, celebrated their first year of matrimony by expanding their family. In a message to fans posted to Instagram, the couple stated they had adopted their daughter sometime in the summer, but did not reveal the exact date. “And then there were 3,” Brown and Bongiovi’s note read. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.

Along with the message, the post included a drawing of a willow tree, which could be a hint that the baby is named Willow. However, Brown and Bongiovi have not yet revealed the official name.

About two and a half months after the announcement, Brown opened up about her new life as a mom for the first time. “It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey – she’s taught us so much already,” Brown told British Vogue on Nov. 5. “Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”

She gave Bongiovi kudos for pulling his fair share of the parenting demands:“We are 50-50 on everything. That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life – he is just the most amazing dad.”

Brown and Bongiovi secretly married in May 2024. The Italian wedding was officiated by Brown’s Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine.

Brown mentioned wanting to become a mom earlier in 2025, also revealing the extreme change to her appearance that she wants to make once she starts raising a baby. “I always tell Jake for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off,” Brown said during her March 11 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, mentioning how freeing she felt when she first shaved her head for Stranger Things. “I don’t know. I just feel like it was really liberating. Would suggest it for anyone, any girl.”

Around that same time, Brown spoke about how she always longed to be a mother. “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,” Brown said on the SmartLess podcast. “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 continued at the time, revealing that she doesn’t want just one kid. “I really want a big family – I’m one of four; he’s one of four,” Brown said. “I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different [than] adopting.
