Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have stepped into a brand-new chapter of their lives—parenthood.
The young couple, who secretly tied the knot last year, recently adopted their first child, a baby girl.
Their journey into this next phase has sparked excitement not only among fans but also within their families.
Jon Bon Jovi Speaks Out
For the first time, Jon Bon Jovi opened up about becoming a grandfather.
The 63-year-old music legend shared his feelings on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, where he admitted it feels “crazy but wonderful” to suddenly step into the role of granddad.
He revealed that he has already met the baby, calling her “your grandchild, your baby,” the moment he held her.
A Proud and Excited Grandfather
Jon couldn’t hide his excitement, joking that he has already become the kind of grandfather who constantly asks for photos.
He confessed that he pesters Millie and Jake every other day for pictures of their daughter, proudly describing himself as a “pain in the butt” because he just can’t get enough of seeing her.
Marriage at a Young Age
The rock icon also touched on his son’s marriage to Millie, who wed in a private ceremony in the U.S. before hosting a larger celebration in Italy.
Some people might think they married young, but Jon explained that both families understood and supported the decision.
He noted that Millie’s parents also married young and have remained together, which influenced how naturally the couple’s love story unfolded.
Millie’s Dream of Motherhood
For Millie, becoming a mother has always been a deeply personal goal.
She previously revealed on the SmartLess podcast that she grew up inspired by her own mother and grandmother’s nurturing roles.
She explained that she’s wanted to be a mom since childhood, emphasizing that whether through adoption or having biological children, building a family has always been part of her vision.
Public Announcement of Parenthood
In August, Millie shared the joyful news with her 64.4 million Instagram followers, announcing that she and Jake had adopted a baby girl over the summer.
“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” she wrote, before signing off with, “And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
First Outings as a Family
Not long after, the couple was spotted strolling through New York City with their daughter, pushing a stroller and soaking in the new-parent glow.
Millie carried flowers while Jake took charge of the stroller, showcasing a tender family moment in the middle of bustling city life.
She later shared glimpses of their travels, including Jake holding a baby carrier on a tarmac as they prepared to board a private jet.
A Love Story in the Spotlight
Millie and Jake first connected in 2021, and by 2023, they announced their engagement with a romantic black-and-white photo on Instagram.
Since then, they’ve continued to celebrate their milestones publicly, while still holding onto moments of intimacy—like their quiet U.S. wedding followed by a dreamy Italian celebration.
Marking Their First Anniversary
Just recently, Millie marked their one-year wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute.
She posted a wedding photo where the couple shared an embrace, captioning it, “1 year married. I love being your wife.”
The post highlighted not just their love story, but also their new journey as parents.
What’s Next for the Couple?
With Millie balancing her booming career as an actress and producer, and Jake carving out his own path, the couple seems ready to juggle family life with their ambitions.
They’ve made it clear that building a family—whether through adoption or future children—is a priority.
And with Jon Bon Jovi proudly embracing his role as grandfather, it looks like this family is only just getting started.
