Millie Bobby Brown welcomes her first child with Jake Bongiovi

Millie Bobby Brown has welcomed her first child with Jake Bongiovi, she announced today.

The Stranger Things star penned on Instagram: "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."

The couple got married in May 2024, with them now having become parents through adoption.

After they got married last year, Brown expressed her desire to become a mom, saying on the Smartless podcast: "I really want a family. I really want a big family."

"I'm one of four. He's one of four. So, it is definitely in our future," she went on. "Jake knows how important it is to me [to have children]. Of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family for me, personally. It's a huge thing."

Today's news also means Bon Jovi legend Jon Bon Jovi is now a grandad, and Brown praised her father-in-law during the podcast.

"When I need him, he is very much there for me in the best ways, always making sure I'm OK," she said.

Brown reflected on her romance with Bongiovi in a 2022 Instagram post, before they got married.

"Endlessly in love with the year I've had! grateful for my friends, family, donkey (bernard), my doggies, my puppies teeth, and my partner for life," she wrote on social media. "Here's to another year with you and the wonderful people and animals around us... let's do it again but better!"

Bongiovi was quick to respond to the heartwarming post with: "Your year babe love you so much."

They got engaged in 2023, with Brown taking to Instagram to announce the news.

She said: "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all. "

Brown has done many interviews speaking about her relationship with her husband, telling The Sunday Times in 2023 how she knew he was 'the one'.

She said: "After we met, we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side. You can’t pinpoint why [someone is 'the one'], it’s just the feeling of knowing that that’s the person you want to spend the rest of your time with."

The actor continued: "I think so much of life is overthinking. The one thing that made clear sense to me was him. So I didn’t really have to do much thinking.”
