Actor Millie Bobby Brown (21) and Actor Jake Bongiovi (23) announced that they have adopted a baby girl.
The couple took to their Instagram and shared a heartfelt note which read: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."
"And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi,” it ended.
The Stranger Things actress got married to Jake Bongiovi in a private ceremony in May last year.
In an episode of the SmartLess podcast Brown spoke about her desire to have children and added that both she and Bongiovi have multiple siblings and lived in a big family.
“My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. This has been my thing since before I met Jake,” she said.
During the conversation, she also showcased desire at adopting a baby. “For me, I don’t see having your own child as really any different as adopting,”
Brown's news left her fans both surprised and delighted and many took to social media to convey their thoughts.
“Millie Bobby Brown got married and has a kid now and Stranger Things season 5 STILL hasn’t dropped (sic),” added a user named Kaia.
One user posted, “The news that 21yo married Millie Bobby Brown has adopted a baby whilst my 26yo ass is on twitter having heated discussions about TV shows and pop culture has hit me like a nuclear bomb. My goodness (sic)."
“Millie Bobby Brown and her husband choosing to adopt makes me incredibly happy. Knowing Millie didn’t come from money, but now has financial success to provide for a child to live well is amazing. I wish her and her husband happiness on their new journey in parenthood,” said yet another.
The actress rose to fame after portraying the role of Eleven in the hit sci-fi series Stranger Things which is currently slated to return for its final season at the end of the year.
