Millie Bobby Brown on Adopting Her Daughter: “The Most Surreal Feeling” Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, who have been together since 2021, married in a private ceremony at Villa Cetinale in Tuscany in 2024, have become parents to a young daughter through adoption. The couple has chosen to keep their child’s identity private, citing the challenges of public scrutiny and the importance of protecting their daughter’s privacy. Brown has spoken openly about the decision to adopt, acknowledging the criticism and online hostility she faced for choosing adoption at a young age. During an interview with Shetty, she reflected on her journey to parenthood, emphasizing that adoption had always been a goal she deeply desired. “I had a lot of adopted friends growing up. I was someone who, I don’t know, always wanted to be a mum; that was always a goal, but for me, adoption was kind of the first thing I always wanted to do,” Brown explained. She described her decision as a heartfelt choice, noting that while she didn’t have a perfect answer, the desire to become a mother was rooted in her heart. Her academic pursuits in social work also played a role in shaping her perspective. “I studied social work for two years and I loved it. I was learning primarily about adoption, which was where I really piqued an interest,” she said. Brown praised social workers for their critical role in transforming children’s lives, calling their work “amazing and unbelievable.” Brown’s husband, Jake Bongiovi, was equally supportive of the adoption plan, and the couple’s alignment on the issue was a key factor in their relationship. “I would say Jake was kind of in from the jump. Maybe that’s why I married him. We were just so aligned. No explanation needed,” she said.#millie_bobby_brown #jake_bongiovi #villa_cetinale #shetty #british_vogue
