Millie Bobby Brown Welcomes Baby No. 2 With Husband Jake Bongiovi

“The aspect of adoption in my social work courses was everything and so so meaningful and important,” she shared. “Then I also learned speaking to and reading a lot about being a birth mother and what that journey is.”

As she explained, “So for me, my husband and I took a lot of time to focus on what that story and what that journey looks like and then we embarked it.”

As for the couple’s journey to parenthood, Brown noted that “waiting for the call” was the hardest part, but made for an unforgettable moment.

“Getting the call, I mean, I will never forget it,” Brown shared on the July 13 episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty. “It was the most surreal feeling and yet we both knew in that moment that we had found each other. Like, oh my goodness, this is our girl, 100 percent, no doubt.” 

And though Brown has given glimpses into the life she and Bongiovi have built with their baby in the time since, she also shared why she didn’t capture footage of the moment she became a mom.

“I think there’s something so special about it because my whole life’s recorded,” the actress explained. “My husband and I will never forget those words, where we were, what we were doing, the feeling. And I think in so many ways, that shouldn’t be recorded. It’s almost like you had to be there.”
