Brown Had Already Spoken About Growing Her Family

Months before the latest reports, Brown discussed the possibility of having more children during a June 11, 2026, appearance on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast.

The "Stranger Things" alum did not rule out experiencing pregnancy someday. But adoption, she explained, had long been part of how she imagined building her family.

"Hopefully one day that's in my future," Brown told Kelce. "But for me, adoption was always a part of my future. Adoption is love. Adoption is forever."

That interest stretched back to childhood and later became part of Brown's social work studies. She said learning more about adoption, including the experiences of birth mothers, helped shape the approach she and Bongiovi eventually "Then I also learned speaking to and reading a lot about being a birth mother and what that journey is. So for me, my husband and I took a lot of time to focus on what that story and what that journey looks like and then we embarked it.".Brown acknowledged that the process brought a difficult period of waiting and uncertainty. She encouraged prospective adoptive parents not to measure their experiences against statistics or other families, stressing that every journey unfolds They signed the message together with a simple update on their family of three. Since then, they have shared occasional glimpses of their daughter without showing her face.

For Brown's 22nd birthday in February 2026, she included her daughter in a beach photo taken at sunset. The two sat with their backs to the camera, with Brown wearing a cream knit cardigan and her daughter dressed in a teddy bear onesie.

"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," she posted at the time.

The June conversation also moved beyond adoption and into the scrutiny Brown has faced since becoming a parent.

As Page Six reported, photos of Brown and Bongiovi walking in New York City with their daughter drew attention online. Some social media users questioned why she appeared to be handling the baby, a car seat, and other belongings while her husband just walked alongside her.

Brown also gave Kelce a glimpse into how motherhood fits around her work. While filming a romance movie, she said her daughter joined her on set every day, allowing Brown to spend short breaks with her between takes.

"Any 10 minutes I had with her, I was with her constantly," Brown said. "I did not miss a feed. Like I based my whole day around every single feed for her."

Bongiovi was working on the same production as a producer, which allowed the couple to divide parenting duties throughout the day. "So, for us, like we just tag team constantly," she said..Brown also recalled showing her daughter "Enola Holmes." Although she said the little girl was generally uninterested in screens, hearing her mother's voice caught her attention.

According to Brown, her daughter stayed interested while she was on screen, but quickly lost interest when other actors appeared, even Henry Cavill.
