Millie Bobby Brown on Starting a Family and Future Plans

Millie Bobby Brown, the star of ‘Stranger Things,’ is eager to start a family with her husband, Jake Bongiovi. In the ‘Smartless’ podcast episode aired on Monday, March 10, the 21-year-old actress opened up about her family plans with Bongiovi, 22, following their marriage in May 2024. Although she admitted feeling “really young,” Brown expressed her excitement about becoming a mother. “My mom had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19,” she shared. “This has been my dream even before I met Jake.” Recalling her childhood, Brown added, “I used to tell my mom, like with baby dolls, that I wanted to be a mom just like she was to me.”

Brown further revealed that both she and Bongiovi envision a large family, a natural aspiration given their backgrounds. “I really want a big family,” Brown enthused. “I’m one of four, and so is he, so it’s definitely in our future. But for me, having your own child isn’t really different from adopting.” She shared that her household is a place filled with love, and she’s open to welcoming a child in any way.
