Millie Bobby Brown recently offered fans a rare glimpse into her private life, sharing a tender family photo featuring her baby daughter alongside husband Jake Bongiovi. The “Enola Holmes” star posted the images on Instagram Thursday, capturing moments from what she described as her “t swift october.”
Among the carousel of photos, one in particular stood out—a heartfelt snapshot of Brown cradling her daughter while Bongiovi wrapped his arms around both of them. The baby girl, dressed in a red plaid Minnie Mouse onesie, had her face intentionally blurred to maintain privacy.
A Look into Their Family Life

The Instagram post included more than just a family portrait. Several selfies of the couple, a PDA-filled photo, and a video of the pair performing “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers added personal touches to the collection. Since welcoming their daughter in August, Brown and Bongiovi have intentionally kept their child out of the public eye. The actress had previously shared a first glimpse last month, showing Bongiovi carrying their daughter in a car seat while heading toward a private jet.
The couple announced the adoption of their baby girl on August 21 with a joint statement:
“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.”
While the child’s name remains private, Brown may have offered a subtle clue during a public outing in East Hampton, where she held a pink phone case adorned with the letters “R,” “W,” and “B,” hinting that “B” could represent her daughter’s last initial.
Millie’s Longtime Dream of Motherhood
Although the adoption surprised some fans, Brown has openly discussed her desire to become a mother at a young age. On the “Smartless” podcast in March, she revealed:
“This has been my thing since before I met Jake. My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19.”
Brown also hinted at the possibility of adoption with Bongiovi prior to their marriage, emphasizing how important starting a family was to her. The couple respected their shared values, with Bongiovi stating that they could not have children together until they were married.
Marriage and Family Planning

The couple tied the knot privately in May 2024 after nearly three years of dating and celebrated again in a lavish ceremony in Italy that October. Both come from large families—Brown is one of four, and Bongiovi is one of four as well—so having children was always part of their long-term plans. Brown shared that they envisioned a home filled with love, open to both family and friends.
Family Support and Joy
The joy surrounding the couple’s adoption extends to Bongiovi’s family as well. His father, Jon Bon Jovi, spoke about the experience of becoming a first-time grandfather, describing it as “beautiful” and noting that he wanted frequent updates and photos. The singer added with humor that he already embraced the role of being “that pain in the butt guy,” reflecting the excitement and connection shared by the entire family.
Brown has explained that welcoming a child, whether biologically or through adoption, represents the same love and commitment. She and Bongiovi emphasize that their home radiates warmth and openness, making room for family in every sense.
The Instagram snapshots give a glimpse into the couple’s family life, showing moments of joy, affection, and music. Fans have admired the candid display of love and the way Brown and Bongiovi balance privacy with sharing milestones. The post highlights a young couple enjoying parenthood while keeping family moments meaningful and personal.
