Millie Bobby Brown announces she and Jake Bongiovi have welcomed 'baby girl'

Millie Bobby Brown has announced she and husband Jake Bongiovi have welcomed a 'baby girl'.

She took to Instagram this afternoon (21 August) to share the happy news.

"This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption," the Stranger Things star wrote.

"We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."

Brown and Bongiovi, who married in 2024, added: "And then there were three."

The 21-year-old has long spoken about her plans to start a family and have a family, with that being her 'dream' rather than the perfect wedding.

And just a few months ago, she spoke on the SmartLess podcast about wanting a 'big family' while also mentioning adoption.

"I'm still really young but my mum actually had her first child at 21 and my dad was 19," Brown said.

"It's been my thing since before I met Jake, since I was a baby - I told my mum, like baby dolls, I wanted to be a mum just like the way my mum was to me."

The star explained Bongiovi knew how important that was to her and while she wants to 'focus on really establishing' herself as an actor and a producer, it's also 'so important' for her to start a family.

"Jake was like 'we cannot do that until we get married', so that was his thing and my thing was I really want a family, I really want a big family," the actor added.

She then went on to mention adoption and her being open to extending her family in that way. "I don't see having your own child as really any different than adopting," Brown said.

"So I feel like anything's out, because for me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything."

In 2023, Brown opened up about her family plans as she told Glamour: "My dream was to have a baby."

She continued: "I wanted to be the woman that my mom is to me and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me."

But she never intended to 'be a wife', however: "After meeting Jake and seeing, ‘Oh, I don’t have to be this stereotypical wife for him. He doesn’t want me to be that either. He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that.’ I was like, ‘Oh, I do want this.’”

Well, congrats to the Bongiovis and welcome to their 'sweet baby girl'.
