The Secret Wedding and The Official Name Change: Millie Bonnie Bongiovi
The biggest bombshell in the couple’s timeline was not their April 2023 engagement, but the revelation of their private wedding. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi secretly tied the knot in May 2024. The ceremony was described as a "very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family," a stark contrast to the massive celebrity wedding many had anticipated. This intimate approach speaks volumes about the couple's desire for privacy despite their high-profile careers.
Following the private nuptials, the actress made another significant personal announcement in late 2025: an official name change. While she continues to use "Millie Bobby Brown" as her professional stage name, she is now legally known as Millie Bonnie Bongiovi. She clarified that "Bonnie" was actually part of her birth name (Millie Bonnie Brown), and she simply adopted her husband's surname. This move is a traditional yet powerful symbol of her commitment to her new family and is a major step in her transition from child star to married woman.
A New Chapter: Parenthood via Adoption in Summer 2025
The most heartwarming and recent news came in the summer of 2025 when the couple announced they had become parents. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi adopted a baby girl. This decision marks a "beautiful next chapter" for the young couple, who have expressed their joy and excitement about stepping into parenthood. The news was shared via a heartfelt social media announcement, which quickly garnered millions of likes and messages of support from fans and fellow celebrities.
The adoption process, which was kept entirely private until the announcement, demonstrates the couple's maturity and commitment to building a family on their own terms. It also adds a layer of depth to their public persona, showing a focus on philanthropic and family values over typical celebrity extravagance.
Jon Bon Jovi's Reaction: The Proud Grandfather
Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi is reportedly "basking" in his new role as a grandfather. In interviews given in the fall of 2025, he broke his silence on the adoption, expressing immense pride in his son and daughter-in-law. He described the baby news as "Crazy, but great. Wonderful," and confirmed that he and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, had immediately met the baby. Jon Bon Jovi’s enthusiastic support for Millie Bobby Brown and the adoption has only solidified his image as a supportive and devoted father-in-law, warmly welcoming Millie into the Bongiovi fold.
The Future of Millie Bonnie Bongiovi: Career, Family, and Legacy
With her personal life settled, Millie is poised for a massive career year, balancing her new roles as a wife and mother with major Hollywood projects. Her professional identity, while officially changed, will likely continue to use the recognizable "Millie Bobby Brown" brand for her acting work, much like other married actresses.
Her upcoming slate is packed with high-profile releases:
- Stranger Things Season 5: The highly anticipated final season, expected in late 2025, will see Millie reprise her career-defining role as Eleven.
- The Electric State: A major Netflix film alongside Chris Pratt, scheduled for release in 2025.
- Enola Holmes 3: While details remain scarce, a third installment of the successful mystery franchise is expected to continue her work as an actress and producer.
The narrative of Millie Bobby Brown is no longer just about the precocious star from Stranger Things; it is the story of Millie Bonnie Bongiovi—a young woman who secretly married her rock star's son, adopted a child, and officially changed her name, all while navigating one of the most demanding careers in Hollywood. Her journey is a testament to her ability to control her own narrative, ensuring her family life remains grounded and private, even as her professional star continues to rise.
