Millie Bobby Brown’s Lifelong Dream of Adoption
For Millie Bobby Brown, building her family through adoption has always been a deeply personal goal. During an appearance on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast in June 2026, the 22-year-old actress opened up about her long-standing desire to adopt.
“It was always part of my childhood dreams,” Brown shared. “Every time I was at home and I was, you know, 5, 6 years old, my parents were like, ‘You had your baby dolls.’ They were all adopted. I never had any of them myself. And I never pretended I was pregnant”.
Brown also noted that she hasn’t ruled out carrying biological children in the future, stating, “It’s not because I don’t want that. Hopefully one day that’s in my future”. However, her commitment to her current path is clear, as she beautifully summarized: “Adoption is love, adoption is forever”.
A Growing Family
Brown and Bongiovi’s romance first blossomed in 2021 after they connected online. Following a 2023 engagement, the pair officially tied the knot in a private ceremony in the Hamptons in May 2024, followed by a grander wedding celebration with family and friends in Tuscany, Italy.
Now, with two children in the mix, the couple seems happier than ever as they embark on this exciting new chapter in both peace and privacy
