Millie Opens Up About Motherhood

Earlier this year Brown shared a single image of her baby girl in a carrier being held by Bongiovi. They were on the tarmac heading to a private jet

In a previous interview with Vanity Fair in February, Millie revealed her desire to become a mother. She shared that she wanted to start a family from a young age, inspired by her own upbringing. "My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19," she explained. "And you know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake... I just always knew that I wanted to be a mom."

The Couple's Big Plans

When asked about their future family plans on the Smartless podcast earlier this year, Millie shared her dream of having a big family. She revealed that she and Jake had discussed having children, adoption, and their long-term goals. "My home is full of love for anyone and anything," she said, "and so that's what we kind of stand by – 'the door is always open' – and we want everyone to feel really comfortable."

Love in the Air

Millie and Jake's love story began two years ago when they started dating. The pair got engaged in April 2023 and tied the knot in a fairytale-like ceremony in Italy last May. Now, as they embark on this new chapter together, their fans couldn't be happier for them.
