Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Expand Family with Adoption, Plan for More Children
Atlanta, GA — August 22, 2025 — Millie Bobby Brown, the 21-year-old star of Stranger Things and Enola Holmes, and her husband Jake Bongiovi have announced the adoption of a baby girl this summer, marking a joyful milestone in their life together on their Georgia farm. The couple, married in a private ceremony in 2024, shared their excitement about growing their family, with Brown hinting at ambitious plans for a larger household in the future.
In a recent interview with Times of India, Brown expressed her lifelong dream of motherhood, inspired by her parents who started their family young. “I’m one of four, he’s one of four, so [a big family] is in our future,” she said, emphasizing that adoption is just as meaningful to her as having biological children. “For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything,” Brown added, noting that she and Bongiovi had discussed adoption even before their marriage.
The couple’s Georgia farm, where they manage an animal rescue operation called Joey’s Friends, is already a bustling hub of love and care. Brown, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, oversees the rescue of dogs, goats, sheep, and other animals, with 23 foster dogs, 10 personal dogs, four cats, and 25 farm animals currently under their care. She has taken courses in human services and veterinary studies to ensure the animals receive proper attention, blending her commitment to family with her dedication to animal rescue.
While Brown continues to shine in Hollywood, starring in and producing Netflix films like Enola Holmes and Damsel, she remains grounded in her personal goals. Her recent comments suggest she has no plans to stop expanding her family, with adoption and biological children both part of her vision. “I want to be a mum just like the way my mum was to me,” she told Page Six, underscoring her commitment to creating a loving home.
Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the couple’s news, with posts on X praising Brown’s heartfelt approach to family and her advocacy for adoption. As she balances her thriving career and growing household, Brown continues to inspire with her openness about her aspirations and her dedication to making a positive impact both on and off the screen.
