On 21st September, Brown, 22, took to Instagram to commemorate the milestone in her marriage. The post featured a touching photograph of the couple taken at Villa Cetinale in Italy, the very venue of their nuptials. In the snapshot, Brown can be seen cradling their newest child, while Bongiovi, 24, holds their firstborn close to his chest. The couple appears to be enjoying a moment of intimacy, with their backs turned to the camera and their arms wrapped around one another.
In her caption, the “Stranger Things” star expressed her deep affection for her husband, stating, “two years married. oh, how you have changed my life, j.” She further proclaimed her love for him, reiterating their unique bond with the words, “here’s to always marching to the beat of our own drum.” Accompanying the photograph was a video clip showcasing the couple sharing tender kisses and dancing together, enhancing the sense of joy encapsulated in the moment.
The couple initially wed in a private ceremony in May 2024, a celebration reportedly attended by their families, including Bongiovi’s iconic parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea. Following their intimate wedding, they hinted at a larger celebration planned for the latter part of the year. By October 2024, they shared a collection of photographs documenting their wedding day, capturing special moments under a floral arch and against the stunning backdrop of tall trees.
Brown has openly discussed her aspirations to build a family. In May 2025, during an appearance on the “Smartless” podcast, she conveyed her desire for a large family, stating, “I really want a family. I really want a big family.” She is one of four siblings, and Bongiovi also comes from a family of four, reflecting their shared vision for the future.
The couple first announced the arrival of their first child via adoption on 21st August 2024, expressing their excitement in a joint Instagram post. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” they shared, marking the beginning of their journey into parenthood. Emphasising their desire for privacy, they noted, “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”
In subsequent interviews, Brown highlighted her lifelong dream of adopting children. She recalled how, as a young girl, her dolls were all adopted, illustrating her longstanding inclination towards adoption. “Adoption is love, adoption is forever,” she emphasised, while also clarifying her hopes to one day experience pregnancy, reflecting her balanced view on motherhood.
Before the news of their newest addition was made public, Brown hinted at the couple’s expanding family with a post on 7th September, showing a glimpse of their life as new parents. The video captured a serene moment in the Dolomites, where Brown walked with their daughter while Bongiovi sported a baby carrier.
Just days later, on 17th September, she shared an endearing photograph of their newly adopted son. In the image, her hand rests on Bongiovi’s, with their son’s tiny hand grasping one of his father’s fingers, showcasing a touching moment of connection. Notable in the photo was Brown’s ring, emblazoned with the letters “MOM,” further cementing her new role in the family.
The joyful announcements from Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi mark a memorable chapter in their lives as they navigate the roles of parents together. As they celebrate their love and growing family, fans and followers continue to offer their warmest congratulations and support for the couple’s journey ahead.
