Millie Bobby Brown talks about motherhood and privacy after adopting baby girl

Millie Bobby Brown has recently opened up about the idea of expanding her family.

In a conversation with British Vogue on Wednesday, November 5, the 22-year-old actress revealed the real reason for adopting a baby.

“I really want a big family – I’m one of four; he’s one of four. I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different [than] adopting,” Millie said.

Reflecting on her new motherhood journey, she shared, “It’s been a beautiful, amazing journey – she’s taught us so much already. 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.”

The Enola Holmes actress also gushed over her husband Jake Bongiovi, “We are 50-50 on everything. That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life – he is just the most amazing dad.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Millie also talked about bringing her daughter into the “spotlight” and whether she’ll reveal her name to the world or not.

“I’m not going to” share new baby’s name, adding, “For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself. It’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly,” she explained.

The Stranger Things actress added, “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. As her parents, it’s our job to protect her from that.”

It is worth noting that Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi announced welcoming her first baby via adoption on August 21, 2025.
