Millie Bobby Brown opened up about being a first time mom, calling the experience a “beautiful, amazing” journey.
“She’s taught us so much already,” Brown, 21, told British Vogue about her and husband Jake Bongiovi’s daughter in an interview published on Wednesday, November 5. “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.”
Brown went on to share a glimpse into how she and Bongiovi, 23, work as a team when it comes to parenting. “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,” she said.
Later on in the interview, Brown also revealed it’s important for her to protect her child’s privacy. After she was asked to share details about her daughter’s personality, she insisted she wasn’t “going to” do that.

“For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself,” she said. “It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly. If she chooses to share her personality one day with the world, like I did when I was young, that’s something we’d support. But right now, as she’s so little.“
Brown continued, “As her parents, it’s our job to protect her from that.” She even added that she has no plans to publicly reveal her daughter’s name until “she’s ready to decide for herself.”
Brown and Bongiovi announced they welcomed their first child together via adoption in August.
“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,” they wrote via Instagram. “And then there were 3.”

They became parents more than one year after they got married in May 2024. While talking to the outlet, Brown said she “understood” she was very young when she got married. However, she insisted she has not regrets about getting married at 20 years old.
“I truly just can’t say it enough: when you meet that person, you know it,” she said.
It seems like Brown and Bongiovi followed by example, as his parents are high-school sweethearts and the Stranger Things star’s parents met when they were 19 and 21.
Brown also opened up about how her relationship with Bongiovi has helped her evolve as a person.
“I am so different from him,” she said. “I don’t see the best in everyone. I’m always like, ‘What are your intentions?’ because I’ve been jaded by the industry. Now I’m able to really see… I’m allowing myself to be less reserved in that world.”
