Jon Bon Jovi breaks silence on son Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown adopting their first child

Jon Bon Jovi says he is over the moon about his son Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown adopting their first child, a baby girl. In a TikTok interview with Bunnie XO, the rocker described becoming a first-time grandparent as "crazy, but great" and said he’s eager for updates. "It’s crazy, but great. Wonderful," he said, adding that meeting the baby instantly felt like welcoming a granddaughter. He also joked about being "that pain in the butt guy" who constantly asks for pictures of the child.

Bon Jovi noted that he blessed his son and Brown’s decision to marry young because they’re mature beyond their years. "We blessed it because we get it," he explained, pointing to Brown’s family background of two young parents who stayed together. He said he likes seeing photos "every other day" and called the growing family "cool." The couple married in May 2024 in a low-key ceremony and celebrated with a second, more extravagant celebration in Italy about five months later. Brown marked their first anniversary with a new wedding photo on social media, writing: "1 year married 🤍. I love being your wife."

Earlier this summer, the couple announced that they had adopted a baby girl. In a joint statement, they wrote: "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy." The announcement drew a mix of reactions, with some fans criticizing Brown for marrying and starting a family at a young age. An insider told the New York Post that Brown "couldn’t care less" about the criticism, describing her as confident and unfazed by the chatter.

Jon Bon Jovi said he remains actively engaged in his son’s life, regularly asking for updates and photos. He also explained why he supported the relationship early on and noted that his granddaughter has already become a focal point of family life—emphasizing that the family is adjusting to their new role as grandparents.

Brown, best known for her role in Stranger Things, and Jake Bongiovi have kept a relatively private personal life since their May 2024 wedding. Fans have watched as their family evolves, with a public acknowledgment of the adoption this summer and a privacy-first approach to parenthood. The family’s experience reflects broader conversations about young marriage and parenting in the celebrity world, though those conversations are filtered through the couple’s own decisions and to protect their privacy.
