Jon Bon Jovi breaks silence on son Jake and Millie Bobby Brown adopting their first baby
Rock icon says he’s over the moon about becoming a grandfather and explains why he blessed his son’s marriage
Jon Bon Jovi is speaking out about his son Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown adopting their first child, a baby girl, and becoming first-time grandparents. In a TikTok interview with Bunnie XO published Sunday, the rocker, 63, said he’s over the moon and described the moment as crazy but great. He added that he’s already asking for updates and pictures constantly.
Bon Jovi also addressed why he gave his blessing for Jake and Millie to marry, saying the couple are mature beyond their years; Jake is 23 and Brown is 21. The couple wed in a low-key ceremony in May 2024 and held a second, more elaborate celebration in Italy about five months later.
Brown celebrated her first anniversary with Jake on Sunday, posting a never-before-seen photo from their wedding and writing that she loves being his wife.
The couple announced this summer that they had adopted a baby girl, posting a joint statement that they welcomed their daughter through adoption and looked forward to beginning the next chapter of parenthood in peace and privacy.
Reaction from fans included criticism of Brown for marrying and starting a family at a young age; an insider told the New York Post that she is unfazed and uninterested in the chatter.
Bon Jovi said he blessed the marriage because he and his wife could relate to the couple’s sense of maturity and their family values, and he noted that he looks forward to seeing photos of his granddaughter. He described the adoption as a joy for the family and said he will continue to support Jake and Millie as they navigate parenthood and public life.
Pictures and updates continue to come as the family navigates a high-profile life while keeping a close circle around their newest member.
