A year can be a whirlwind of milestones for Millie Bobby Brown. The Stranger Things star marked her first wedding anniversary with husband Jake Bongiovi—son of rock icon Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea—by posting a timeless black-and-white throwback photo from their wedding ceremony on social media. "1 year married," Millie captioned her Sept. 21 Instagram post. "I love being your wife."
Beyond celebrating a year of marital bliss, the couple recently shared a life-changing revelation: they’ve officially expanded their family. "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption," Millie and Jake announced in an Aug. 21 Instagram post. "We are beyond thrilled to embark on this beautiful new chapter of parenthood with both peace and privacy." They signed off with a heartfelt touch: "And then there were 3."
Since then, the pair has offered glimpses into their journey as first-time parents. In a Sept. 1 Instagram post by Millie, Jake was seen walking toward a distant plane, cradling their daughter’s carrier. Though the baby’s face remained hidden, a peek of her delicate skin peeked out from beneath a soft white blanket, adding an air of tender mystery.
Amidst the sleepless nights and diaper duties, the couple has kept romance alive. Another snapshot showed them savoring a quiet dinner date, with Millie—the founder of Florence by Mills—stunning in a chic black halter top. She captured a mirror selfie as Jake, the Sweethearts actor, leaned in to plant a sweet kiss on her cheek, melting hearts online.
While the news of their newborn daughter took fans by surprise, Millie, 21, and Jake, 23, had long hinted at their dreams of parenthood. "My mom had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19," Millie revealed on the SmartLess podcast in March. "Becoming a mom has been my dream since before I even met Jake. I wanted to raise children the way my mom raised me."
"Jake understands how deeply this matters to me," she continued. "Sure, I’m focused on building my career as an actor and producer, but for me, starting a family feels just as vital."
