Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi adopted a second child
Millie Bobby Brown and husband Jake Bongiovi have welcomed a new child, though not in the way many will be picturing.
Alright, here we go—if you thought Millie Bobby Brown was busy enough with Stranger Things and dodging the chaos of Hollywood, try keeping up with her home life. Millie and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have just welcomed their second child—and yes, it's through adoption again. The pair are notorious for playing things close to their chest when it comes to family, so naturally, this happened almost entirely off-radar.
Millie Bobby Brown has now adopted two children with husband Jake Bongiovi, the most recent arriving in 2026.
A Quiet Family Grows
This update comes courtesy of sources speaking to People (because of course it does), who confirmed the new arrival but left out any details you'd actually want, like the baby’s name or gender. The best we've got is a few snaps from a Dolomites holiday in Italy: Brown carrying their daughter, Bongiovi with a baby strapped on, and smiley faces all round. If you’re waiting on an official Instagram announcement, good luck—these two like to keep things private, especially on the kid front.
This is their second go at adoption, the first being in August 2025 when they brought home a daughter and politely asked everyone to give them 'peace and privacy' while they got on with it. So far, they've managed to do just that.
How Millie and Jake Got Here
Their whole family saga has happened pretty quickly, all things considered. They announced their engagement in April 2023 after being an item since 2021. Tied the knot in May 2024 in a discreet US ceremony (so, not a Vegas drive-thru, but close), then celebrated on a larger scale in Florence with the usual family and friends.
Brown hasn't been shy about her interest in adoption. On the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, she explained she'd dreamed of adopting since she was a little girl, even acting it out as a kid with her baby dolls:
Here's how Millie told the story on the podcast: "It was always part of my childhood dreams."
She's indicated biological children might be on the cards eventually, but adoption has always been baked into her life plan. As for Bongiovi, he’s the son of Jon Bon Jovi—yes, that one—and has been trying his hand at acting and anything else creative that’ll have him.
So, in summary, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi now have two children, both adopted, and continue to live their lives somewhere between Hollywood and wherever the camera isn’t pointed.
