This summer, British actress Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi – son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi – announced that they became parents for the first time by adopting a baby girl. The couple shared the news on August 21, 2025 through a joint Instagram post:
“This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through the adoption process… And then there were three of us.”
The image published was symbolic and simple, with the message: “And then there were three”, while asking for privacy in this new stage.
Brown, 21, had previously expressed that becoming a mother was one of her biggest dreams. In an interview with the SmartLess podcast during the spring of 2025, she confessed how since she was a child she had longed to start a large family, inspired by her own mother and grandmother. She specified that she saw no difference between having biological or adopted children:
“To me I wouldn’t see having your own child as really any different than adopting…Our home is full of love for anyone…and that’s our philosophy: the door is always open.”
Millie Bobby Brown and her sudden and controversial decision
That same day of the announcement, Millie was spotted in East Hampton wearing a subtle but symbolic look: a sweatshirt with the word MOTHER on it, paired with a pink phone case with the initials “RWB,” which some fans interpret as a clue to her adopted daughter’s name.
Despite the media attention, the couple has rigorously protected their daughter’s privacy. They did not reveal her name or share photos. They even disabled comments on their post to avoid speculation.
Millie and Jake met in 2021, got engaged in 2023 and held an intimate wedding in May 2024, with a second ceremony in Tuscany in September of the same year.
They currently reside on a ranch in Georgia, where they share their lives with more than 60 rescued animals, creating a warm family environment away from the public eye.
Millie Bobby Brown, still very young, exemplifies values such as empathy, chosen family and openness to new forms of love. For the Hispanic community in the U.S. – where adoption and diverse family structures are increasingly important – this ad represents a powerful narrative: that motherhood can happen through love and bonding, beyond the biological.
