Millie Bobby Brown Marks Second Wedding Anniversary With First Photo of Her Baby Son

Millie Bobby Brown is marking her second wedding anniversary with a rare and tender family moment — sharing the first photograph of herself and husband Jake Bongiovi with both of their children. The 22-year-old actress posted the image to her Instagram on Monday, 21 September, taken at Cetinale, a lavish vacation estate in Tuscany and the very location where the couple held their second wedding ceremony in 2024.

In the snapshot, Millie and Jake — who married in May 2024 before hosting a grander celebration in Italy later that year — are pictured at a distance, each holding one of their two children. One carries their daughter, whom they adopted in the summer of 2025. The other holds their newborn son, whose arrival they confirmed earlier this month via a joint Instagram post captioned simply: "hi little guy!"

Fans flooded the comments with warmth, with responses including "happy anniversary mills!!!" and "And now there's four of you" — that last observation carrying rather more weight than the average Instagram reply.

The new son — whose name and face Millie has chosen not to reveal, in keeping with the couple's firm stance on protecting their children's privacy — was announced to the world just days before the anniversary post. The couple's hands can be seen in the announcement photo alongside their baby boy's tiny fingers, a quietly joyful image that quickly went viral.

Their second child was also reportedly adopted, according to People Magazine and CNN, arriving just over a year after the couple welcomed their daughter. When they announced their first child in August 2025, Millie wrote: "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."

She has since been consistent in shielding both children from the public eye. Speaking to British Vogue after the first adoption, she explained her thinking plainly: "It's not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly."

For those who've followed Millie Bobby Brown's career closely, the news of a second adopted child is less a surprise than the fulfilment of something she has spoken about for years. In a June interview on Kylie Kelce's podcast Not Gonna Lie, the Enola Holmes star described adoption as a lifelong dream — one that began, charmingly, with baby dolls.

She told Kelce she had taken "many courses" on the subject before beginning the process, including human services courses at Purdue University, which she enrolled in during 2022. The hardest part, she admitted, was simply the waiting. "Your baby's out there and you'll find each other," she said — advice that now reads as hard-won wisdom from a mother of two.

Jake Bongiovi, 24 — a model, actor, and son of Jon Bongiovi, the founder and frontman of rock band Bon Jovi — has been equally vocal about his commitment to building a family together. The pair first crossed paths on social media, became engaged in April 2023, and were married in May 2024.

The Tuscany ceremony that the anniversary photo revisits was, by all accounts, a spectacular affair. Millie's Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine — who played "Papa" on the show — officiated, and he was visibly moved by the occasion. "I was surprised how emotional I became during the vows," he told Vanity Fair. "I was with her when she first met young Jake. And now she's beginning a whole new life with such a kind man."

Millie, who was 20 at the time of the wedding and Jake 22, has spoken about how deliberately the couple approached the commitment. "We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in," she said. "It always felt right with him."

Two years, two children, and one very scenic anniversary photo later — it rather looks like she was right.
