Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, no strangers to the glamorous red carpet, took a well-deserved break after welcoming their little bundle of joy this past summer. But on November 6th, the couple—who tied the knot in May 2024—made a grand return to the limelight in Los Angeles for the premiere of Stranger Things season five, set to drop on Netflix on November 26th. Jake dazzled in a velvet red suit, while Millie stunned in a maroon minidress with a corset waist and lace detailing, both looking every inch the proud parents-to-be.
As they posed together on the carpet for the first time since becoming parents, they also snapped pictures alongside the rest of the cast, including Winona Ryder, David Harbour, and Noah Schnapp. The return to the spotlight comes three months after they announced their adoption of a baby girl.
"This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption," they said in a joint statement on Millie's Instagram page on August 21st. "We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy." While the couple hasn't shared her name yet, they did share a glimpse of their little one last month, as their baby girl's Minnie Mouse onesie peeked out between them while they cuddled up together on the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland.
Just a few months before becoming a mom, Millie expressed her excitement about starting a family. "I'm still really young but my mom actually had her first child at 21 and my dad was 19," she said on the Smartless podcast in March. "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." She continued, "I really want a big family. I'm one of four, he's one of four, so it is definitely in our future."
In fact, she even hinted that adoption might be in the cards at the time, adding, "I don't see having your own child as really any different as in adopting." Ultimately, no matter how it comes to be, Millie shared that in her mind, family is everything. "For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything," the 21-year-old shared. "So that is kind of where we stand... We're wanting to start a family and it doesn't matter in what way or when, but it will happen for sure."
