Millie Bobby Brown Shifts Priorities to Family Life After Second Child

Millie Bobby Brown has recently embraced a more home-centered lifestyle following the arrival of her second child with husband Jake Bongiovi. A source close to the couple told Page Six that Brown, 22, has “really slowed down” socially since welcoming their new baby.

“Things have definitely changed since welcoming their second baby,” the insider said. “Millie and Jake were still going out quite a bit after adopting their daughter… But things have definitely changed since welcoming their second baby.” The source added that Brown is now more inclined to spend time at home with Bongiovi, 24, and their two children, rather than prioritizing nights out.

“She’s much more of a homebody these days and would rather spend time with Jake and the kids than be out partying,” the source explained. Despite this shift towards domesticity, Brown’s career remains a significant focus. The source clarified that the actress has “absolutely no plans to slow down” professionally.

Brown has a busy schedule with several upcoming projects, including the currently filming "Nineteen Steps," the pre-production of "Prism," and an upcoming Netflix spy series with "Stranger Things" co-star David Harbour. "She’s still young and likes to have fun, but her priorities have shifted,” the source said. “She’s really enjoying this chapter of her life and having a family of four."

Brown and Bongiovi announced the birth of their son earlier this month. They shared the first image of their newborn on Instagram on September 17, a close-up of the baby’s hand holding Brown's finger. This marks the couple's second child, following the adoption of their daughter in August 2025.

The couple, who began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement in April 2023, tied the knot in May 2024, followed by a larger ceremony in Italy later that year. They have maintained a level of privacy regarding their children, choosing not to publicly disclose their names or faces.
