So, when she took to Instagram to announce that she had welcomed her first child with husband Jake Bongiovi it stunned fans - with many congratulating the star.

She wrote: “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.”
While many fans were shocked at the news, for others it didn’t come as a big surprise as they had heard the actress speak about adoption in March earlier this year.
While on the SmartLess podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, Brown opened up about her family plans and the dynamic she wants.
She said: “It has been my thing since before I met Jake.
“Since I was a baby, I told my mum I want to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me and my nan.
“My grandmother is like a huge part of my life and Jake knows how important it is to me and of course I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer but I also find its so important to start a family, for me personally.
“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 like I'm one of four as he’s one of for.
“So it is definitely in our future.”
Well, a few month’s later and that future has come pretty quickly.
Brown also spoke about her feelings towards adoption and how she doesn’t differentiate between that and having biological children.
She continued: “For me, I don’t see having your own child as really any different than adopting.
“Because for me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything and that is what we stand by, Jake and I, the door is always open and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.”
