The Stranger Things star, Millie Bobby Brown is just 22, while her husband Jake Bongiovi is 24. The couple already had a daughter they adopted in 2025 and now they have welcomed another child, a baby boy, through adoption.
Brown and Bongiovi confirmed the news on September 17 by sharing a sweet photo of their family holding their new baby’s hand.
“Hi little guy!” Brown wrote alongside the picture.
The announcement came after Brown appeared to quietly hint that something had changed in their family earlier this month.
Brown Seemed To Hint At The New Addition During A Family Trip
On September 7, Brown shared a video from a family vacation in the Dolomites in Italy.
In the footage, the actress could be seen carrying her daughter while Bongiovi walked beside her with a baby carrier strapped to his chest.
The couple kept the newest member of their family hidden from view, seemingly maintaining the privacy they have chosen for their children.
Days later, the news broke that the couple had welcomed their second child through adoption. Brown and Bongiovi have since shared the first glimpse of their baby boy, although they have not publicly revealed his name.
Their First Child Was Also Adopted
The couple became parents for the first time in August 2025, when they announced that they had adopted a baby girl.
At the time, they asked for privacy as they began their new chapter as a family.
“This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” they wrote.
“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”
The couple chose not to reveal their daughter’s name or publicly show her face, and they have continued to keep much of their family life away from the spotlight.
Brown later explained that protecting her daughter’s privacy was extremely important to her because she wanted the child to have the opportunity to decide for herself whether she wanted a public life one day.
