Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi are now parents.
The 21-year-old Stranger Things star and 23-year-old son of Bongiovi Jon Bon Jovi announced that they had adopted a daughter on Thursday.
“This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the couple said in a joint Instagram statement.
“We are beyond excited to begin this beautiful next chapter.”
The Enola Holmes actor and Bongiovi first crossed paths on social media and were friends for a while before becoming a couple, she told Wired in 2022.

They got engaged in April 2023 and married in May 2024.
In October, the couple shared photos of their wedding celebration, which took place at Villa Cetinale in Italy.
In an appearance on the Pointless Podcast, Brown said she’s looking forward to becoming a mother one day.
“My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And that’s been my thing since before I met Jake… since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom like I had my mom,” she said.
“And my grandmother my nan was a huge part of my life… Jake knows how important that is to me and of course I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also feel like it’s so important for me personally to start a family for myself personally.
“It’s a huge thing. Jake was like, ‘We can’t do this until we get married.’ So that was his thing.”
She hinted that adoption was in the cards and a large family was important to her and her husband.
“I really want a big family. I’m one of four. He’s one of four. So, it’s definitely in our future, but for me, I think having your own child is as different as adoption,” she said.
