MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AND HUSBAND JAKE BONGIOVI GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH DAUGHTER
Millie Bobby Brown certainly seems to be enjoying her first holiday season as a mother.
The 21-year-old star of Stranger Things was spotted on yet another outing with husband Jake Bongiovi and the daughter that they adopted over the summer in New York City on Sunday.
Brown strapped the bouncing baby girl into a black carrier as they trolled the streets of the Big Apple while doing some Christmas shopping.
The talented actress looked dressed perfectly for winter as she sported a baby blue headband with a hoodie for the occasion.
The son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi looked stylish in a long grey trench coat with baggy jeans, white Golden Goose sneakers, and a black Cherry Los Angeles hat.
The new parents were also joined by Millie's mother Kelly who looked every bit the attentive grandparent.
The sweet outing comes just days after Brown shared a behind-the-scenes look at her whirlwind month of motherhood and press duties, including the first blurred glimpse of her little girl in a family moment alongside her rock-legend father-in-law
The actress has been increasingly open about her life as a wife and mother, but remains fiercely protective of her daughter's privacy.
While speaking to British Vogue for the magazine's December issue, she emphasized that she has no plans to reveal her child's identity publicly until she is old enough 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,' Brown explained. 'It's our job to protect her from that.'
Brown also recently that she has officially taken Bongiovi's last name, proudly becoming Millie Bonnie Bongiovi.
The moment unfolded in a playful interview with co-star Noah Schnapp, who stumbled over her newly updated moniker before she corrected him with a big smile.
The young couple, both one of four siblings, have made no secret of their hopes for a bustling household.
'I really want a big family,' she shared with Vogue, adding that parenting duties are firmly split down the middle. 'We are 50-50 on everything… he is just the most amazing dad.'
The couple married in May 2024 after years of openly discussing their dream of becoming parents, including embracing adoption as a natural part of building their family.
In August, they officially announced that dream had come true.
'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.'
During an appearance on the Smartless podcast, which is hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the actress said that she was looking forward to motherhood.
'My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake,' she explained.
'Since I was a baby... I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me. And my nan, my grandmother is, she was a huge part of my life.
'And so, yeah, 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,' Brown continued.
'It's a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.'
Brown then added: '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 [from] adopting.'
She went on to say: 'My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by, Jake and I, our energy in the house is "the door is always open", and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.'
