Millie Bobby Brown and husband adopt second child
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 22, and husband Jake Bongiovi quietly adopted a second child this summer.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, have welcomed their second child through adoption. The couple married in May 2024.
The couple adopted their first child about a year ago. The couple quietly completed the second adoption this summer.
Brown hinted at her growing family in a September Instagram post from Italy. She showed herself holding a baby.
Bongiovi had a baby carrier strapped to him. Brown told a podcast host in June that adoption has always been her dream.
Even as a child playing with dolls, she imagined adopting rather than giving birth. She studied social work and learned more about adoption before changing to veterinary science.
Brown said she may give birth one day, but adoption was always central to her vision of parenthood.
