Speaking with PEOPLE, Brown expressed her delight in engaging in playful activities with her young daughter. She noted that their shared moments are filled with creativity, including arts and crafts, puppet shows, and dressing up in costumes. “Dressing up is a big one for me,” Brown explained. “I loved dressing up as a child. I don’t know if that was me yelling to everyone that I wanted to be an actor, but I adored dressing up as various princesses, knights and even dinosaurs.”
The actress emphasised the joy she finds in fostering her daughter’s imagination. Their playroom features an extensive collection of costumes, creating an environment that encourages storytelling and creativity. She proudly displays her daughter’s artwork throughout their home, showcasing her belief in the importance of nurturing creative expression. “Anywhere we go, her artwork is always on display because I’m so proud of her creativity,” Brown shared, revealing that family art projects are part of their connecting routine.
Although the name of her daughter remains undisclosed, Brown remarked on the child’s vibrant personality. “She uses her voice a lot, so I’m very intrigued about that,” she said, adding that her daughter shares her expressive nature. The actress said, “She’s loud like mama,” and expressed enthusiasm for encouraging her daughter to find her voice.
Jake Bongiovi, who is 24, and Brown, who wed in 2024, announced the adoption of their daughter via an Instagram post on August 21, 2025. In the announcement, Brown described the couple’s excitement about this new chapter in their lives. “This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” she wrote, adding, “And then there were 3.”
Sources close to the couple revealed that they are raising their daughter on a picturesque farm in Georgia. The property is home to a variety of animals such as sheep, goats, cows, donkeys, and several pets. “They have really worked on creating this special family life in Georgia,” an insider noted. “Millie loves her farm — it’s going to be such a special place for the baby to grow up.”
In a candid interview with British Vogue in November 2025, Brown described her transition into motherhood as “a beautiful, amazing journey.” She recounted the joy her daughter brings into their lives, stating, “She’s taught us so much already. Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”
Millie Bobby Brown also serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, and in a recent video released by the organisation, she discussed her profound feelings of love for her daughter. “No one prepared me for the love I would feel,” she admitted. “People say they love their children, but I don’t understand how that much happens in my heart. I don’t know how the feeling is so overwhelming. It’s just incomprehensible.”
As she continues to navigate her new role as a mother, the actress remains dedicated to balancing her career in the entertainment industry with her family life. Brown’s experiences showcase a fresh perspective on motherhood, filled with creativity, adventure, and an appreciation for the small joys that define family life.
