Millie Bobby Brown is officially a mom! The “Stranger Things” star and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, shared that they adopted a baby girl over the summer, marking the couple’s first step into parenthood together.
The news broke after the two were spotted out in the Hamptons earlier this week, casually pushing a stroller during a sunny walk. Fans immediately speculated, and sure enough, the couple confirmed the rumors in a joint statement yesterday.
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” they said. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”
For now, they’re keeping the details close. No name, no photos, just the happy announcement and a polite request for privacy while they adjust to life as new parents. This is also makes Jon Bon Jovi a first-time grandparent, too!
Millie, 21, and Jake, 23, tied the knot in May 2024, just over a year ago. Their relationship has been a favorite among fans since they first went public, thanks in part to their mix of Hollywood glam and relatable young-couple energy. Now, their love story has entered a whole new chapter.
Celebrity adoptions often spark plenty of public curiosity, but Millie and Jake’s approach suggests they’re aiming to raise their daughter away from too much spotlight. Given Millie’s early rise to fame, it makes sense she’d want to shield her child from the same level of attention she grew up with.
While we wait for more details (and yes, probably a very adorable name reveal down the road), fans are already celebrating the news across social media. Some are pointing out how surreal it feels to see Millie, who audiences first met as Eleven when she was just 12, now stepping into the role of mom. Others are praising the couple for openly sharing their adoption journey, which can help normalize and inspire conversations around family building in different forms.
One thing’s for sure: whether she’s saving the world from the Upside Down or learning the ropes of diaper duty, Millie Bobby Brown has officially entered a whole new role. And her fans couldn’t be more excited to watch this next chapter unfold.
