Millie Bobby Brown & Jake Bongiovi: Decoding the Baby Clues Before Their Surprise Adoption

Millie Bobby Brown made no secret of her desire to become a young mother ¿ following in the footsteps of her own mom, who had her first child at 21

SPOILER ALERT: Millie Bobby Brown and Husband Jake Bongiovi Welcome Baby Girl Through Adoption - But Was This Little Secret Planned All Along?

In a shocking turn of events, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi have announced the arrival of their adorable baby girl through adoption. The couple's heartfelt joint statement on Instagram has left fans stunned, but was this little secret planned all along? Our investigation has uncovered a trail of clues that suggests the young couple had been hinting at baby plans for months.

The Clues Were There All Along

Despite being very vocal about her dream of starting a family with husband Jake Bongiovi as soon as possible, the couple stunned fans by announcing they quietly adopted a baby girl

At just 21 years old, Millie has long said she wanted to become a young mom, just like her mother who had her first child at 21. On the SmartLess podcast in March, the actress openly discussed building her family through adoption, revealing that "my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I — our energy in the house is like, 'The door is always open.'" Sounds innocent enough, but now it's clear this was a sly hint at their future plans.

A Family Tradition

Millie's desire to become a young mother has been a long-standing one. She revealed on the same podcast that her mom had her first child at 21 and that she's always wanted to follow in her footsteps. "Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls," Millie explained. "I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me." Clearly, family traditions were always on Millie's mind.

Although the announcement shocked many, DailyMail.com has traced back the trail of clues that suggested the couple were already preparing for parenthood

Jake Wanted Marriage First

While Millie was ready to welcome a baby even before walking down the aisle, Jake had one stipulation: he wanted to wait until they got married. "Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married," Millie revealed on the podcast. And just months later, the couple tied the knot in a lavish Italian celebration at Villa Cetinale in Tuscany.

Instagram Clues

From Millie's candid talk about adoption to the couple's 'abundance of animals' on their farm, it now seems clear they had been hinting at baby plans all along; seen with Jake Bongiovi in 2022

In April, fans were convinced Millie had already become a mom when she posted a carousel of photos featuring Jake playing with a little girl. "The last photo you reveal something to us??????", one follower asked. Another wrote: "AWWW THE LAST PIC IS SO CUTEEE AW❤️". A third chimed in simply: "Mommy." At the time, it was written off as speculation, but now it's clear fans were onto something.

The 'Tradwife' Comments

Over the years, Millie has leaned into a quieter, home-focused lifestyle with Jake. On Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, she discussed being called a "tradwife," admitting that she "get[s] it" and understands why people would think that. But here's the thing: Millie loves her job, loves being unconventional, and loves being on their farm. So much so, she confessed to preparing dinner every night, saying "cooking is... where I put all my anxiety into cooking." For those who were paying attention, this was just another step in preparing for motherhood.

An 'Abundance of Animals'

Millie joked that they already had a taste of parenthood thanks to their sprawling menagerie at home. They share 25 farm animals, 10 dogs, four cats, and foster an additional 23 dogs. To those looking back, this sounds less like a retreat and more like preparing for their family in the making.

The Verdict: This Little Secret Was Planned All Along

With their baby girl finally home, Millie's long-stated wish of becoming a young mother has come true. And if her own words are any guide, this is only the beginning as Brown has always expressed wanting a big family. As one fan wrote on Instagram: "This is just the start of their beautiful journey together." We couldn't agree more.
