Los Angeles, California — In a heartfelt announcement made on Thursday, acclaimed actress Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have revealed that they have adopted a daughter, marking the couple’s first foray into parenthood. This momentous decision occurs after their marriage in a private ceremony held in May 2024. The couple expressed their enthusiasm for this new chapter in their lives through a social media statement, emphasizing their desire for peace and privacy as they navigate the joys and challenges of raising a child.
Brown, 21, is best known for her iconic portrayal of Eleven in the critically acclaimed Netflix series “Stranger Things.” This fall, fans will witness the culmination of a captivating journey, as the show’s fifth and final season is set to air in November and December. Over the past nine years, Brown has undeniably transformed from a young talent into a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. In addition to her role in “Stranger Things,” she has starred in multiple projects, including the Netflix original films “Enola Holmes” and a recent entry in the “Godzilla” franchise. Furthermore, in a testament to her versatility and creativity, she published a romance novel earlier this year.
Jake Bongiovi, age 23, is the son of legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi, the frontman of the renowned band Bon Jovi. Following in his father’s footsteps, Bongiovi has made strides in his own acting career, debuting as the lead in the film “Rockbottom,” which premiered last year. Both Brown and Bongiovi have established themselves in their respective fields, and their union symbolizes a blending of two dynamic careers in the spotlight.
During the premiere of her Netflix film “Damsel,” Brown shared her thoughts on the importance of family, highlighting the support system she has in Bongiovi and his family. “I’m just so lucky that they’re here tonight, and it just means so much to me,” she remarked. “Family is everything, and just to have my second family here means everything.”
The couple currently resides in Georgia, where they enjoy a quieter lifestyle, often cherishing their time away from the pressures of social media. Brown has previously expressed her fondness for farm life, embracing a more rustic existence, which allows her to focus on her family and creative projects. As they embark on this new journey together, Brown and Bongiovi’s commitment to their family and careers continues to resonate, drawing attention from fans and media alike as they navigate the intersection of parenthood and professional aspirations.
