And then they were four.
Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 24, have welcomed their second baby. The couple shared the happy news in a joint post on Instagram.
A close-up photo showed the family of four holding hands, giving fans a glimpse of the newborn. "Hi little guy," the caption read, revealing they welcomed a boy. Brown, whose hand was positioned on top, was also wearing a ring that spelled out "MOM."

On September 7, the "Stranger Things" star, 22, also shared a video on Instagram with a telling sign of a second child. In the clip featuring their trip to the Dolomites, Brown is visibly holding her daughter while Bongiovi walks beside her with a baby carrier strapped to him. Their backs were turned towards the camera, so the baby wasn’t visible.

The couple became first-time parents in August 2025 when they welcomed their daughter through adoption. "This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption," Brown announced at the time. "We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.” She ended the post with, “And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi."

Brown has always publicly expressed her desire to adopt, revealing in a June interview that it had been her childhood dream. In fact, even her baby dolls were "adopted." But she also said she hoped to carry a biological child someday.
Brown has also talked about wanting a large family. Last year, she revealed on the Smartless podcast that growing up with four siblings, likewise for Bongiovi, made her want a big family too. She also said she didn’t see the difference between welcoming a child biologically or adopting.

After welcoming her first child, Brown described parenthood as “a beautiful, amazing journey." She told British Vogue, "The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love." She also praised Bongiovi for being a great dad, sharing the parenting responsibilities with her “50-50.”

To this day, Brown has yet to reveal her eldest daughter’s name, telling Vogue it’s a decision to protect her child. Brown says she will only share it when her daughter “is ready to decide for herself.” Until then, she will not talk about her daughter’s personality because, as she put it, “It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly.”

Brown and Bongiovi, the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi, met in 2021 through a mutual friend. Brown thought Bongiovi was “cute,” so she initiated a call when he gave her his number. Three years later, in 2024, they married twice. They first had an intimate ceremony in May, then a larger wedding in Tuscany in September. Brown was 20, and Bongiovi was 21 then, some would say too young. But for the actress, “When you meet that person, you know it.”
The couple lives quietly on a farm in Georgia, where they also take care of rescue animals and sleep with their dogs while tending to their growing family.
