Millie Bobby Brown Shares Festive New Look at Her, Jake Bongiovi’s Baby Girl
Millie Bobby Brown is entering her 22nd year with her mini me by her side.
The Stranger Things alum marked her birthday by sharing a rare glimpse at her daughter—who she shares with husband Jake Bongiovi—as they enjoyed a serene, beachside moment together.
In the snapshot, the two sat beside each other on the sand with a blanket over their laps. As their daughter looked out towards the ocean, Millie lovingly gazed down at her. And though their backs were to the camera, the moment was extra adorable as Millie and her baby girl matched in fuzzy brown sweaters.
“22. grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals,” the actress captioned her Feb. 19 Instagram post. “I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes. xoxo”
Millie—who enjoyed a New York City birthday breakfast with Jake, 23, earlier in the day—has been candid about the “beautiful, amazing journey” of becoming a mom ever since she and Jake announced they adopted a baby girl in August.
"She’s taught us so much already,” the actress told British Vogue in an interview published in November. “Perspective is a huge thing. The smaller things in life are so much more precious. Our days are filled with lots of cuddles and laughter and love. It’s just endless joy.”

And despite recently sharing a glimpse of their little one, Millie has emphasized that their daughter’s privacy is of paramount importance to her and Jake. In fact, the couple—who tied the knot in May 2024—are choosing not to reveal their child’s face or name until she is "ready to decide for herself."
“For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself,” Millie shared. “It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly. If she chooses to share her personality one day with the world, like I did when I was young, that’s something we’d support.”
“But right now, as she’s so little,” she added. “As her parents, it’s our job to protect her from that.”
From their early days of dating to their journey as parents, keep reading for more on Millie and Jake’s love story.
