Millie Bobby Brown sure sounds like she’s ready to start her own family. In a Smartless interview that aired on March 10, the Stranger Things actor, 21, said she and her new husband Jake Bongiovi are already talking babies. And it may be partly because young parents run in the family.
“My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19,” Brown explained. “And you know, it’s been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me.”

She continued, “I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family for me personally.” But, Brown added, Bongiovi’s stipulation was that the couple be married before having kids.
And Brown and Bongiovi don’t just want one. They both come from large families, and like to have a large family of their own. “And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family. I’m one of four. He’s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future, but, for me, I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.”
Millie Bobby Brown opened up to Glamour about her family plans in 2023, explaining that a perfect wedding was never her dream, “My dream was to have a baby.” She continued, “I wanted to be the woman that my mom is to me and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me,” she said, but her intention was never to ”be a wife.” That said, she added, “After meeting Jake and seeing, ‘Oh, I don’t have to be this stereotypical wife for him. He doesn’t want me to be that either. He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that.’ I was like, ‘Oh, I do want this.’”
