Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi looked every bit the new doting parents on a stroll yesterday after announcing they have adopted a baby girl.
The Stranger Things actor, 21, and model Jake – who is Jon Bon Jovi’s son – took the tot out in a pram as they grabbed some iced coffees and hoisted the baby carrier into their 4×4.
Millie wore a pink jumper emblazoned with ‘MOTHER’ on the front, while Jake, looking chilled out in a black T-shirt and hat, pushed the pram alonga street in The Hamptons.
The Long Island holiday hotspot is a long way from Millie and Jake’s beloved farm in Georgia, where they take care of and rescue a huge amount of animals including goats, horses, cows, donkeys, and 10 dogs.
Announcing the happy news on social media yesterday, the pair wrote: ‘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.’
The post ended with a lovely sign off: ‘And then there were 3. Love Millie and Jake Bongiovi.’
Millie grew up from the age of 11 to 20 playing telekinetic child Eleven on Netflix’s supernatural hit Stranger Things and has gone full speed into adulthood.
But she’s actually hinted for some time now about her desire to adopt and become a young mum – just like her own mother, who welcomed Millie at her age now.
While appearing on the SmartLess podcast in March, the Enola Holmes star opened up about adoption.
‘I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as adopting,’ she explained.
‘For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I — our energy in the house is like, “The door is always open.”‘
She also explained: ‘My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it’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 just like the way my mom was to me. And my nan, my grandmother, was a huge part of my life,’ she explained.
While Millie was ready for the pitter patter of tiny feet, Jake was keen to get married first and they ‘quietly said their vows’ in America last May, before a second wedding in Italy in October.
The couple are both one of four, so Millie explained on the podcast that a ‘big family’ is ‘definitely’ in their future.
Millie also confessed on Call My Daddy podcast that she thrives in a domestic setting, cooking every night to channel her anxiety.
On being called a ‘tradwife’ – referring to a TikTok trend of women who embrace traditional gender roles and sharing and glamorising their lives online – Millie said she understood why people would say that, but she simply loves her rural life.
‘I understand why they would say that. I know what it looks like from afar. I did get married young. It’s all really veering in that direction.
‘Except I love my job. I love being untraditional and unconventional in so many ways of my life. I love being on a farm, and Jake does, too. So like, that would then make him a tradhusband?’
