Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, are celebrating their first wedding anniversary with heartfelt tributes shared on social media. On Sunday, September 21, Brown expressed her love for her husband as they marked one year of marriage, a milestone made even more special by the recent addition to their family.
Sharing Moments from Their Wedding Day
Brown posted a touching photo from their 2024 wedding day featuring the couple embracing during their “first look,” a private moment some couples choose before the ceremony. In response, Brown’s beauty brand, Florence by Mills, playfully commented “Mom and dad,” highlighting the couple’s new status as parents.
Jake Bongiovi’s Tribute to His Wife
Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley, also shared a heartfelt message on his Instagram account. Capturing another wedding photo, he wrote,
One year in the books, many more to go,
and added,
I love you so much my beautiful wife. Happy anniversary.
Their celebration not only honors their marriage but also their journey into parenthood.
Welcoming Their Baby Daughter Through Adoption
This first anniversary is particularly meaningful since Brown and Bongiovi recently welcomed a baby girl through adoption. In a joint statement from last month, the couple shared,
This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,
and
We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter in both peace and privacy. And then there were three!
They have chosen to keep their daughter’s name and photograph private, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their family’s privacy during this new chapter.
Shared Visions and Family Goals Before Marriage
Brown has spoken openly about how both she and Bongiovi were aligned on key aspects of their relationship before tying the knot. In a Vanity Fair profile from March, she explained,
We were pretty united going into [our relationship],
discussing their shared views on politics, family plans, the home they wanted to create, their relationship goals, and career ambitions. She added,
I knew I was. It always felt right with him.
Embracing Parenthood and Family Heritage
Brown also opened up on why she embraced becoming a young parent without hesitation. On the Smartless podcast, she revealed,
My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. It’s been my thing since before I met Jake,
illustrating how family values shaped her desires. She shared,
Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me. I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me.
Brown emphasized her strong wish for a large family, saying,
My thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family. I’m one of four,
and continued,
He’s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future, but, for me, I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.
The Ongoing Journey for Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi
As Brown and Bongiovi celebrate their first anniversary, their public expressions reveal a blend of deep love, thoughtful commitment, and excitement for their future together. Their adoption of a baby girl marks the beginning of a new family chapter that aligns with their long-held values and hopes. Moving forward, they seem dedicated to nurturing their relationship while embracing the responsibilities and joys of parenthood.
