LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have expanded their family. The 'Stranger Things' actress has welcomed her second baby through adoption, a source shared with PEOPLE.

The 22-year-old actress shared a cute photo of her baby boy on Instagram on Thursday, September 17, confirming the news. She and her 24-year-old husband have not revealed the name of their baby yet. Sharing a cute picture of the baby’s hand and their hand with a ring that says "mom," she captioned it, "Hi little guy!"
Well, Brown's daughter now has a baby brother to play with. However, the actress and her husband have not yet shared any comment or post regarding the adoption, apart from one joint image on social media.
While she has now adopted two children, Brown has spoken about the possibility of having a biological child "one day" in the near future. “It’s not because I don’t want that,” Brown said on Kylie Kelce’s 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast in June, explaining that she’s just “always wanted to adopt,” even as a child.
“Every time I was at home and I was, you know, 5, 6 years old, my parents were like, ‘You had your baby dolls.’ They were all adopted,” the actress explained. “I never had any of them myself. And I never pretended I was pregnant.” Brown added, “Adoption is love, adoption is forever.”

During a July appearance on Jay Shetty’s 'On Purpose' podcast, Brown detailed the moment she got a “magical phone call” approving her and Bongiovi’s adoption. “It was the most surreal feeling, and yet we both knew in that moment... like, ‘Oh my goodness, this is our girl, 100 per cent, no doubt,’” the Netflix star recalled.
“The process is long and rightfully so; it’s a great process and, you know, in fact, it’s very thorough. I would say that’s probably the longest part, is just getting through all of that.” The most important part for Brown? That the phone call wasn’t recorded.
“I think there’s something so special about it because my whole life’s recorded. My husband and I will never forget those words, where we were, what we were doing, the feeling,” she explained. “I think in so many ways, that is why that shouldn’t be recorded. It’s, like, almost like you had to be there.”
She also shared images on her social media, while keeping her daughter’s face hidden. In one such image, she wrote, "22. grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals. I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes. xoxo."
