Millie Bobby Brown welcomes second child with Jake Bongiovi: ‘Hi little guy’

Millie Bobby Brown has shared a new family photo after welcoming her second child with husband Jake Bongiovi.

Brown, 22, and the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi shared the photo of the baby’s hand on Instagram with the caption: “Hi little guy!”

The photo shows four hands resting against Brown’s, who is wearing a diamond-encrusted ring bearing the word “Mom”.

The post follows media reports that the couple welcomed their second child via adoption earlier this month.

Brown and Bongiovi, who were married in 2024, announced in August last year that they had adopted their first child, a daughter.

“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,” Brown wrote on Instagram at the time.

“And then there were 3.”

The Stranger Things actress appeared to hint that the couple had expanded their family again in a social media post on Thursday.

In a post celebrating a family holiday to Italy’s Dolomites mountain range, Brown was seen carrying their daughter while Bongiovi walked beside them with a baby carrier strapped to his chest.

Speaking after the adoption of her daughter in late 2025, Brown told British Vogue: “It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey – she’s taught us so much already.

“Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.

“We are 50-50 on everything. That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life – he is just the most amazing dad.”

After starring in Stranger Things from age 10, Brown said she was adamant about protecting her daughter’s privacy.

She said: “For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself. It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly.”

Brown has also appeared as the title character in Netflix’s Enola Holmes, the mystery-solving sleuth sister of Sherlock Holmes, as well as starring in the 2024 fantasy film Damsel and 2025’s sci-fi action film The Electric State alongside Chris Pratt.
