Millie Bobby Brown Shares an Endearing Glimpse of Her Daughter with Their Family Dog
Millie Bobby Brown has melted hearts once again with a charming new photo.
The Stranger Things star offered a rare look at her and husband Jake Bongiovi’s daughter, whom they welcomed into their family through adoption last summer.
On March 29, Millie posted a touching image on Instagram showing her baby daughter’s tiny hand resting gently on the paw of one of their family dogs. Accompanying the picture, the 22-year-old wrote, “me and mii’s.”
While this particular dog seemed comfortable around the newest family member, not all of their pets have adjusted as smoothly. Their dog Winnie, in particular, has struggled with sharing attention.
Millie revealed on The Tonight Show last December that Winnie was having a tough time accepting the baby. “It’s been a blow to her ego,” she explained. “She doesn’t quite understand the new addition yet and hasn’t fully acknowledged her presence, but my daughter has realized Winnie is an animal.”
According to Millie, Winnie is engaged in a subtle “power struggle” with the infant.
“She’s basically ignoring her in the hopes she’ll disappear,” Millie said. “I have serious talks with Winnie, reassuring her that the baby is here to stay.”
This tension even led Winnie to act out occasionally. Millie recounted, “Last night, Winnie swiped one of my daughter’s bath toys and dashed upstairs with it. When I caught her, she gave me a fierce stare from around the corner as if to say, ‘What are you going to do about it?’”
Despite these challenges, Millie and Jake—who married in 2024—describe their journey as “beautiful” and “incredible.”
Speaking to British Vogue in November, Millie reflected on how parenthood has changed their perspective. “Our daughter has taught us so much already. We appreciate the little moments more deeply. Our days are full of cuddles, laughter, and endless love.”
She praised Jake, 23, calling him “the most wonderful dad,” and highlighted their equal partnership in raising their child. “We share everything 50-50,” she said. “I’m so thankful to have him as my partner in life.”
