Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, quietly embraced parenthood in 2025, welcoming their adopted baby daughter this summer. The couple shared their joyful news on Instagram while choosing to keep the details private, marking a significant new chapter in their lives.
Details of Their Adoption Announcement
In August 2025, Brown and Bongiovi publicly confirmed the arrival of their daughter through adoption. Their joint Instagram statement declared,
“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,”
reflecting their excitement and desire for privacy as they begin this journey. They added,
“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter in both peace and privacy.”
The announcement ended with a simple but heartfelt,
“And then there were three! Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
Background on Their Relationship and Family Plans
The Stranger Things star married Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, in 2024 after dating for two years. Even before expanding their family, the couple expressed a shared vision for their future, discussing their political beliefs, family goals, and careers to ensure they were aligned. Brown told Vanity Fair earlier in 2025,
“We were pretty united going into it.”
She elaborated on their conversations, saying,
“We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for [and] the kind of careers we want.”
Brown emphasized the importance of making the right choice for their family, stating,
“It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”
Public Appearances With Their Daughter
The couple was spotted in the Hamptons on August 21, 2025, taking a walk with their baby girl. Photographs obtained by the Daily Mail showed Brown wearing a sweatshirt labeled Mother while pushing her child in a stroller, marking one of the first public sightings of the family. This moment provided fans with a glimpse of their new life together without compromising the privacy they requested.
What Might Be Their Daughter’s Name?
Brown and Bongiovi have kept their daughter’s name private so far. However, subtle hints have appeared, such as Brown’s iPhone case visible in photographs, which seemed to display the initials RWB. While this has sparked speculation about their baby girl’s name, no official confirmation has been made.
Millie Bobby Brown has previously shared her thoughts on baby names during a 2025 interview on Call Her Daddy. She humorously revealed that many of her farm animals have names she loves for children. She said,
“I have 25 farm animals [and] they’re all named. The donkeys are ‘B’ names, cows [are] Barnaby and Bessie,”
adding that her dog Winnie’s name might have been spoiled as a children’s name because of the dog’s spirited personality:
“Winnie [is] my dog’s name, and I love that name for a kid. I cannot because Winnie has truly ruined the name. She’s a psycho dog. She’s the best dog ever … [but she’s] emotionally dependent.”
Additionally, Brown shared in an August 2025 Instagram video that she liked to play mom as a child, often choosing the name Emma for her pretend child.
Looking Ahead for Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi
Brown and Bongiovi’s choice to adopt reflects their thoughtful approach to family life and the meaningful decisions they have made as a couple.
