Millie Bobby Brown revealed details about her experience of becoming a mother at 21. The actress and her husband Jake Bongiovi adopted a baby girl in August 2025, marking a joyful new chapter in their lives.
The Impact of Adoption on Their Lives
In a November 2025 interview with British Vogue, Brown reflected on how the adoption journey has transformed her outlook. She expressed deep appreciation for the lessons their daughter has already provided.
“It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey — she’s taught us so much already,”
Brown said.
She highlighted how the experience has made everyday moments feel more meaningful, filled with affection and happiness.
“Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy,”
she added.
Parenting Partnership and Family Aspirations
Since marrying in May 2024, Brown and Bongiovi have shared parenting responsibilities equally, which she credits with strengthening their relationship.
“We are 50-50 on everything. That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life — he is just the most amazing dad,”
she shared.
Both come from large families and hope to continue this tradition. Brown explained,
“I really want a big family — I’m one of four; he’s one of four,”
adding,
“I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different [than] adopting.”
The Growing Family’s Future
The couple’s open embrace of adoption illustrates a broader, inclusive view of family that emphasizes love and partnership over biology. Their public reflections highlight the joy and fulfillment found in building a family through adoption, inspiring others to rethink traditional definitions of parenthood.
