Millie Bobby Brown Gets Real About the Toughest Part of Adoption

Millie Bobby Brown just opened up about the emotional rollercoaster of adopting with her husband Jake Bongiovi — and it’s way more vulnerable than you’d expect. The Stranger Things star, 22, spilled the tea on Kylie Kelce’s \”Not Gonna Lie\” podcast Thursday, revealing that waiting for the call is absolutely brutal.

\”Every journey is different,\” Millie explained, getting real about how adoption isn’t some Instagram-filtered fairytale. She admitted that the hardest part? The agonizing limbo. The uncertainty. The constant phone checks. It’s the kind of emotional intensity most people don’t talk about publicly — but Millie went there anyway.

The couple, who got married in 2023, has been pretty private about their personal life, so hearing Millie candidly discuss the adoption process is refreshingly honest. She’s not sugarcoating the experience or pretending it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Instead, she’s acknowledging that yes, becoming a parent through adoption comes with its own unique challenges and emotional weight.
