Millie Bobby Brown's Family Holiday Magic

A New Chapter of Joy

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is embracing the holiday season with her growing family. Recently, the 21-year-old actress shared a festive carousel on Instagram, offering fans a glimpse into her first holidays as a new mother alongside husband Jake Bongiovi.

The heartwarming photos, posted on December 3, show Millie bundled up in winter attire while cradling her baby girl at New York City's Bryant Park Winter Village. The couple’s daughter—whose face remains private, covered adorably by a mama-bear emoji—snuggled close as Jake stood beside them. The carousel also featured scenic waterfront shots, a birthday cake, and nostalgic clips of Millie as Eleven, all captioned with the playful phrase, “the life of a showgirl.”

Adoption and Motherhood Bliss

Millie and Jake welcomed their daughter through adoption this summer, sharing the joyful news in an August 21 Instagram post. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” they wrote. “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.” The couple signed off with the sweet sentiment, “And then there were 3.”

Since becoming a mother, Millie has opened up about the transformative experience. In a November interview with British Vogue, she gushed, “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.”

“He is just the most amazing dad.”

Family Moments in the Big Apple

The couple’s commitment to privacy hasn’t stopped them from sharing subtle sweet moments. Just days after her Instagram post, Millie and Jake were spotted strolling through Manhattan, braving the cold to enjoy some family time. In the photos, Millie kept her daughter bundled under her coat, using her body heat to shield the little one from the crisp air. Jake added to the warmth with a tender kiss on his wife’s forehead, capturing the essence of their newfound trio.

These outings come after a whirlwind press tour for *Stranger Things* Season 4, where Millie even playfully referenced her daughter during interviews. “That’s my child,” she quipped to Noah Schnapp during BuzzFeed’s *The Kitten Interview*, adding, “That’s my kitten.”

A Love Story Blooms

Millie and Jake’s journey to parenthood began in 2021 when they sparked romance rumors. Their engagement in April 2023—marked by a Taylor Swift lyric—culminated in a private wedding in May 2024. Now, as they navigate the joys of adoption and first-time parenting, Millie credits Jake as her perfect partner. “That’s why I’m so grateful to have partnered with him in this life,” she shared. “He is just the most amazing dad.”

With the holidays in full swing, Millie’s carousel of festive memories reminds us all that love comes in all forms. For this Hollywood power couple, the greatest adventure yet has just begun.
