Get ready to mark your calendars, folks, because Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have officially stepped into the exciting world of parenthood! The beloved Stranger Things actress and her husband shared the heartwarming news that they welcomed their first child in 2025.
"This past summer, we welcomed our sweet baby through adoption," Brown and Bongiovi announced together on Instagram in August 2025. "We are so thrilled to start this beautiful new chapter, surrounded by peace and privacy." They wrapped up their message with a touch of charm: "And then there were three! With love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi."
Before this joyful arrival, Brown married Bongiovi in 2024. Their wedding followed a two-year romance. You might know Jake as one of rock star Jon Bon Jovi’s sons. Even before their little one joined the family, Millie and Jake were very clear about wanting to build a big family together.
Brown gave fans a peek into their relationship in a Vanity Fair story published in March 2025. She mentioned how quickly they connected. "We were pretty glued together from the start," she explained. "We talked about our political views, the kind of family we want to create, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, and the type of careers we want."
She also added that deciding to spend their lives together was a huge step, and they wanted to be sure it was the right one. "I just knew it," Brown said. "It always felt right with him."
When Did Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s Daughter Arrive?
While the couple kept the exact birth date of their baby under wraps, their Instagram announcement in August 2025 did confirm the adoption happened "this summer." This timing makes sense with their big reveal.

The world got its first glimpse of the new family on August 21, 2025. Brown and Bongiovi were spotted pushing their daughter in a stroller through the Hamptons. Photos from the Daily Mail showed Brown wearing a sweatshirt that simply said "Mother," a sweet nod to her new role. Just two days later, on August 23, 2025, Page Six reported that the happy parents were seen again, this time pushing their baby’s stroller through the bustling SoHo neighborhood of New York City.
What Is Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s Daughter’s Name?
The proud parents haven’t spilled the beans on their daughter’s name just yet. However, the founder of Florence by Mills might have given a subtle hint. In those August 2025 Daily Mail photos, Brown’s iPhone case seemed to have the letters "RWB." Many are guessing these could be her daughter’s initials.
Brown has actually teased her favorite baby names before. She shared some thoughts during an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast earlier in 2025.
"I have 25 farm animals, and they all have names," Brown joked, talking about her pets. "The donkeys are ‘B’ names, the cows are Barnaby and Bessie." She then realized something funny. "I’ve noticed I’ve given them all names that I actually love for kids." She added, "Winnie is my dog’s name, and I love that name for a little girl. I can’t use it because Winnie has ruined that name. She’s a psychopath dog. She’s the best dog in the world… but she’s emotionally dependent."
In an Instagram video from August 2025, Brown also revealed that she used to "play mom" as a child. Back then, she’d picked the name Emma for her imaginary daughter.
