On Thursday, Aug. 21, Brown and Bongiovi shared they’d welcomed their first baby together via adoption, announcing the news on Instagram.
“This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” they wrote. “And then there were 3.”
After news broke that Brown had expanded her family, a source told PEOPLE that she often talked about wanting to grow her family at a young age — even before she married Bongiovi in May 2024.
“She’s so young, but so focused. And she has the biggest heart,” a source told PEOPLE. “There’s no doubt that she’s a great mom. Pretty much everything she sets her mind to, she crushes.”
“And they have really worked on creating this special family life in Georgia. She loves her farm — it’s going to be such a special place for the baby to grow up,” the insider continues. “Even before they were married, she often spoke about her wish to be a young mom. And Jake was always on the same page. They’re in it together.”
Just months ahead of welcoming her own little one, Brown opened up about whether she’d let her future kids become child actors.
During an interview with Pedestrian TV, first released in March, the star revealed that she would support her children if they wanted to be child actors. She told the outlet that she would “protect them in the way that my parents protected me.”
“I would do exactly what my parents did to me, which was just encourage me to be myself,” she told the outlet. “I would support them but protect them in the way that my parents protected me. So yeah, I always encourage any young person to achieve their dreams and if I can help in any way, I absolutely will.”
