Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have adopted a baby girl, the couple announced on Instagram on August 21. The Stranger Things star and singer Jon Bon Jovi's son tied the knot last year. Millie Bobby Brown shared that she and her husband Jake Bongiovi, have no plans to stop at one baby(AP) 'This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption', they said, adding, 'We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.' The message ended with 'And then there were 3.' Even before the announcement, Mille Bobby Brown, best known for playing Eleven on the Netflix series, shared her views on early parenthood, while speaking on the Smartless podcast on March 10. "I'm still really young. But my mom actually had her first child at 21 and my dad was 19.' Bongiovi was well aware of where Millie stood all the while, the 21-year-old added. 'Jake knows how important it is to me. Like, of course I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer but I also find it's so important to start a family for me personally.' The actor also shared that she had no plans of just stopping at one baby. What Millie Bobby Brown said about more babies Millie Bobby Brown was pretty candid when sharing her thoughts about being a mother, and how many babies she wants. Even when speaking on the podcast, Brown made it evident she had no plans to stop at one baby. 'I really want a big family,' she said, adding, 'I'm one of four, he's one of four, so it is in our future.' Millie also shared that she was ready to welcome a little one into their lives, but Jake, 23, wanted to wait till they had tied the knot and made things official. At the time, she had also said she was open to adoption – something that has now come true for the couple. 'For me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything,' Millie had said, adding, 'So that's kind of where we're at. We're wanting to start a family and it doesn't matter in what way or when, but it will happen for sure.' The child will likely grow up on the farm in Georgia where Millie and Jon have moved. Speaking to Vanity Fair about life there, Millie Bobby Brown had said '…there is, you know, laughter and a lot of passion and excitement, and it is a very vibrant place. There is so much chaos, and that is where I thrive.'

I've been curious about India: Passenger on tour
Passenger, the British singer-songwriter best known for his global hit Let Her Go, is looking forward to his debut performance in India, and he says this is 'something I've wanted to do for many years. ' 'I've always been curious about India,' he says, adding, 'I've heard so much of your music, though I wouldn't claim to know it deeply. It's a different world from the English and American folk traditions I grew up with. But that's the beauty of being an artiste; you keep your ears and mind open. It keeps you fresh.' In an interview with us, the global artiste opens up about staying true to himself as a musician, navigating trends, the importance of honouring his craft, and more. 'MY MUSIC IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LISTEN TO IT' In today's music industry, where viral trends dictate careers, Passenger remains unconcerned. 'I've never followed trends,' he admits. 'The music industry is fickle. It changes all the time. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen. If it's fashionable, great. If not, that's okay too,' he adds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo 'I WANT PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME, TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SITTING IN A FRIEND'S LIVING ROOM' His songs, intimate stories of love and loss, have always resonated with listeners. But how does one preserve intimacy in front of thousands? Passenger credits his stripped-back approach. 'It's just me and my guitar. I tell stories, I explain the songs. I want people to feel like they're sitting in a friend's living room, even if there are 3,000 others in that 'living room',' he shares. While love and heartbreak remain central themes, Passenger is not afraid of venturing further. 'Love and loss are part of the human condition, which is why people relate. But it's important to keep challenging yourself. I've just written a West End musical; that's been a whole new world for me,' he adds. 'I'VE LEARNED NOT TO FORCE CREATIVITY' With several albums under his belt, Passenger shrugs at the idea of writer's block. 'Sometimes I write three songs in a week. Sometimes none for three months. It's not clockwork. I've learned not to force it. Songs come when they're ready,' the musician tells us. As he prepares to perform for Indian audiences for the first time, Passenger brings with him the same humility and honesty that carried him from street corners to sold-out venues worldwide. 'At the heart of it,' he says, 'it's still just me and my guitar.' 'I WRITE MUSIC FROM A PLACE OF HONESTY' Before fame, Passenger was a busker for five years. Those years, he says, shaped him. 'It was humbling. I had great days and tough ones, playing to twenty people in a pub. That perspective stays with me. Every time I step on stage now, I remember those nights and how lucky I am,' he tells us. His biggest takeaway is authenticity. 'Any time I've tried to write a song because I thought it would be successful, it doesn't work. But when I write from an honest place, that's when people connect. You can't fake that,' he adds. The music industry is fickle. The only thing I can do is stay true to who I am, write songs I'm proud of, and put them out for people who want to listen Passenger BookMyShow Live is the producer and promoter for Passenger's upcoming India tour.
