Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 21, and her husband Jake Bongiovi, 23, announced they’ve adopted a baby girl this summer. The couple shared the news on Instagram, writing: “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 three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”

Though they haven’t revealed their daughter’s face, Jake was spotted pushing a stroller in a July 20 Instagram post captioned “helluva summer thus far.”

The couple, who married in May 2024 in Tuscany, Italy, have long discussed starting a family. Millie revealed on the Smartless podcast earlier this year that motherhood has always been a priority. “My mom had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. Since I was a baby, I told my mom I wanted to be a mom,” she said. “Jake knows how important it is to me. We want a big family—he’s one of four, I’m one of four. Adoption feels just as natural as having biological children.”

Millie emphasized their shared values in a Vanity Fair interview, stating they aligned on everything from politics to family life. “We talked about the home we want, the careers we’ll pursue, and the love we’ll share. Jake’s my partner in every way,” she said.
