Millie Bobby Brown is on the hunt for her next blockbuster role, all while embracing the joys of motherhood. The "Stranger Things" sensation, who welcomed an adopted baby girl into her life this summer alongside husband Jake Bongiovi, is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to portray Olympian Kerri Strug in "Perfect," a biopic that delves into the triumphs and trials of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the 1996 Summer Games, as confirmed by multiple sources. Adding to the buzz, director Gia Coppola, granddaughter of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola and niece of the acclaimed Sofia Coppola, is also in talks to helm the project.
For Millie, balancing a thriving career with a nurturing family life has always been her dream. Earlier this year, she articulated her aspirations, stating, "I'm eager to solidify my position as both an actress and a producer, yet I also recognize the profound significance of starting a family." On a March episode of the "Smartless" podcast, she revealed, "Jake understands how crucial this is to me," noting that both she and Jake—the son of Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley—come from families with four children. "It's definitely something we envision for our future," she added.
For the 21-year-old star, adoption remains a cherished option. "I don't perceive a distinction between having a biological child and adopting," she explained. "My home is a sanctuary of love, welcoming anyone and anything with open arms." Jake, whom she married in 2024, shares her sentiment. "That's the philosophy Jake and I adhere to—our home is a place where the door is always open, and we strive to make everyone feel truly at ease," Millie emphasized. "We want everyone to feel genuinely comfortable."
Moreover, the couple also serves as proud parents to a lively crew of farm animals. "My animals are raucous, and it's chaotic—my dogs are wild," the "Enola Holmes" actress gushed to Vanity Fair in March. "But there's laughter, a wealth of passion, and excitement. It's a vibrant, dynamic environment. There's so much commotion, and that's precisely where I flourish."
