Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have expanded their family again through adoption, welcoming a baby boy nearly a year after becoming parents to their first adopted child. Brown, 22, and Bongiovi, 24, announced the news on September 17, sharing a photo showing their family holding their newborn\u2019s hand. \u201cHi little guy!\u201d Brown wrote alongside the picture. Earlier in September, Brown appeared to offer a subtle glimpse of the new family dynamic when she shared footage from a vacation in Italy\u2019s Dolomites. In the video, she carried their daughter while Bongiovi walked beside her wearing a baby carrier, though the couple kept the baby hidden from view. The pair first announced the adoption of their daughter in August 2025, asking for privacy as they began parenthood. They have continued to protect their children\u2019s identities and have not publicly revealed their daughter\u2019s name or shown her face. Brown has said that keeping her daughter\u2019s life private is important because she wants the child to have the freedom to decide for herself whether she wants a public life when she grows older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Brown, adoption was not an unexpected path to motherhood. During a June 2026 appearance on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce<\/em>, she recalled that adoption had been part of her childhood dreams. She said that when she played with baby dolls as a child, she imagined all of them as adopted and never pretended she was pregnant. Brown described adoption as \u201clove\u201d and \u201cforever,\u201d while also explaining that she hopes to carry a biological child herself someday. She has previously spoken about wanting a large family, noting that both she and Bongiovi grew up in families of four children. Their decision to adopt again, however, sparked mixed reactions online. Some commenters questioned why the young couple had chosen adoption rather than having biological children, while others criticized Brown personally. At the same time, supporters defended their choice, praising the couple for providing children with a loving home and emphasizing that adoption is a meaningful way to build a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have expanded their family again through adoption, welcoming a baby boy nearly a year after becoming parents to their… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":56611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":20,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56610"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56612,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56610\/revisions\/56612"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/56611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
