Millie Bobby Brown recently offered a sweet peek into her new life. She and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, are now a family of three. It’s a tender moment for the young couple.
Brown, 21, shared a series of photos on Instagram on Monday, September 1. The first picture showed the “Stranger Things” actress and Bongiovi, 23, looking quite loving. Jake gave his wife a soft kiss on the cheek.
Another photo caught everyone’s eye. It showed Bongiovi walking on a tarmac. He was carefully carrying a baby carrier. A white blanket draped over the carrier, keeping their daughter private and cozy. Jake’s back was to the camera as he headed toward a plane with their little one. Brown also included a picture of herself. She wore a cheetah print headscarf and a matching bikini top. A scenic shot of a field rounded out the collection.
Just last month, Brown and Bongiovi made a big announcement. They told the world they had become parents.
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet girl through adoption,” the couple shared in a joint Instagram statement in August. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful new chapter, both in peace and privacy. And then there were three. With love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.” The couple has not yet shared their daughter’s name with the public.

Brown and Bongiovi tied the knot in 2024. They dated for two years before getting married. Jake is also one of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi’s sons.
Millie has always been open about wanting a family. She’s talked about this desire for years.
“My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad at 19,” Brown explained on the “Smartless” podcast in March. “And, you know, it’s something I’ve had in my mind since before I met Jake.” She added that as a child, she often told her mom she wanted to be a mother.
She continued, mentioning her grandmother’s influence. “My grandmother… she was a huge part of my life. So yes, Jake knows how important it is to me.” Brown knows she needs to focus on her acting and producing work. But having a family is also very important to her. “It’s a huge thing,” she said. Jake had one condition for starting a family: “We can’t do that until we get married.”
Brown also once hinted that adoption was on her mind. “What I wanted was to have a family. I want a big family,” she thought aloud. “I am one of four. He is one of four. So it’s definitely in our future.” For her, having her own child and adopting felt similar.
