Millie Bobby Brown Embraces Farm Life and Motherhood, Leaving Hollywood Behind

Millie Bobby Brown has stepped into a new phase of her life as she and husband Jake Bon Jovi have adopted a baby girl together

MILLE BROWN'S JAW-DROPPING NEWS!

In a shocking turn of events, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has announced that she and her husband Jake Bon Jovi have welcomed a baby girl into their family through adoption!

The 21-year-old actress is set to embark on the most significant chapter of her life yet, balancing her thriving acting career with motherhood. But don't get it twisted – this isn't just about Millie adapting to a new role; she's been vocal about wanting to be a young mom, inspired by her own mother Kelly, who had her first child at 21.

The actress and her husband Jake Bon Jovi now live on a farm in rural Georgia where they manage an animal rescue

The couple's adoption news was shared on Instagram, where they posted: "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. And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi."

But what's even more intriguing is that Millie has always dreamed of being a young mom. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she revealed: "This has been my thing since before I met Jake. My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19... I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me."

When asked about how Jake felt about starting a family, Millie shared that he insisted they wait until they were married. But it seems their love for each other and their desire for a big family won out – after all, Millie comes from a close-knit family of four siblings!

Millie has given fans a glimpse of her countryside life on Instagram, sharing snaps with some of the animals on the farm which reportedly include donkeys, goats, horses and sheep

Speaking of family ties, Millie's friendship with former TOWIE star Mark Wright is the stuff of dreams! The two met on US TV show EXTRA in 2017, but it wasn't until Mark introduced her to his sisters Natalya and Jess that things really took off. The group have since become inseparable, bonding over their love for sun-kissed getaways and late-night nights out.

In fact, Millie has even shared snaps of their epic Turks And Caicos vacation in 2019, where they soaked up the sun in bikinis and went horseback riding together! Who knew these two were so close?

But what's fascinating about Millie's adoption announcement is that it seems to be a departure from her usual Hollywood lifestyle. As she revealed in an interview with The Sunday Times: "I'm not doing this for the aesthetic; I love it... If you're not picking up horse s**t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you."

It seems Millie and Jake have traded in their Tinseltown lifestyle for country living on a farm in rural Georgia – where they manage an animal rescue! Talk about a change of pace!

As she navigates her new role as a mom, it's clear that Millie is all about prioritizing what truly matters to her. When asked about how she balances her acting career with motherhood, she quipped: "I barely check my phone and largely delegate social media duties."

And who can blame her? With a baby on board and a thriving career in Hollywood, Millie's got her hands full! But one thing's for sure – this young mom is all about embracing the chaos and loving every minute of it!

Millie and Mark initially met on US TV show EXTRA in October 2017, with Mark later introducing her to his sisters Natalya and Jess, and his wife, Michelle Keegan
