Millie Bobby Brown Welcomes Baby No. 2 With Husband Jake Bongiovi

Bobby Brown is no stranger to motherhood—twice over.

More than a year after announcing they adopted a baby girl, the Stranger Things star and husband Jake Bongiovi have welcomed their second child.

Brown, 22, and Bongiovi, 24, shared a photo of their baby boy's hand on Instagram Sept. 17, writing, "hi little guy!" She celebrated her little one with a ring reading "Mom" as well.

The couple's newest addition also comes just three months after she hinted at expanding her family, especially since her life went “from black and white to color” after adopting their daughter in 2025.

“Hopefully one day that's in my future,” Brown noted of pregnancy on the June 11 episode of Not Gonna Lie. “But for me, adoption was always a part of my future. Adoption is love. Adoption is forever.”

Not only has the Enola Holmes star's decision to adopt been a “childhood dream," but she also learned much more about the entire process along the way.

“The aspect of adoption in my social work courses was everything and so so meaningful and important,” she shared. “Then I also learned speaking to and reading a lot about being a birth mother and what that journey is."

As she explained, "So for me, my husband and I took a lot of time to focus on what that story and what that journey looks like and then we embarked it."

Tom Cruise Reveals What He and "Genius” Taylor Swift Spoke About at Travis Kelce’s Game

Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift small-talk, work and the weather and football.

The Digger actor shared what he and the "I Knew It, I Knew You" singer chatted about while sitting next to one another at her husband Travis Kelce's season opener when the Kansas City Chiefs went up against the Denver Broncos Sept. 14.

As Cruise told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Sept. 17, "She was schooling me on football."

After Fallon asked, "For real?" the Top Gun star confirmed, "For real. She was bringing the football."

"First of all, she’s a genius," Cruise continued. "I’ve been following her since she was a kid. Everybody there, all their friends, they’re a beautiful couple and magical in their own right. Everybody there in that booth."

The 64-year-old explained that the outing was extra special because it had been so long since he'd been able to attend an NFL game.

"I hadn’t been to a football game since pre-Covid, where I was working and everything," he said. "So to get to hang out there and have that moment, it was a lot of fun. She knows her stuff."

Cruise went on to maintain that now the Grammy winner "knows" and is "just bringing it" in all aspects of her life and career. 

“We talked about music and movies," he finished. "She's funny. She’s got such a great sense of humor. A brilliant writer also, by the way. Brilliant musician and director. Very skilled."
