Millie revealed back in March that a new arrival was on the way, telling BBC Radio 1: ‘My donkey is pregnant. Betsy and Bernard got together, had a great night out, and now she’s preggers.’
The new family member reveal comes shortly after Brown opened up about starting a family with husband Jake, 22, and shared that he already understands ‘how important’ it is to her.
The couple tied the knot in May 2024 and have already discussed having children, expressing hopes of raising a big family together.
During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast—hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett—the Stranger Things star said that while she knows she’s “really young,” she’s looking forward to becoming a mom.

‘My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it’s been my thing since before I met Jake,’ she explained.
‘Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me. And my nan, my grandmother is, she was a huge part of my life.
‘And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, 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,’ Millie continued.

‘It’s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.’
Millie, who recently clapped back at trolls over comments about her appearance, went on to say: ‘And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family.
‘I’m one of four. He’s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future, but, for me, I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.’
She added: ‘My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by, Jake and I, is our energy in the house is the door is always open, and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.’
Millie’s comments come just weeks after she opened up to Vanity Fair in February about her relationship with Jake and how they’re ‘pretty united’ when it comes to the big things in life.
‘We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want,’ she told the publication.
‘It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.’
Millie and Jake—whose father is musician Jon Bon Jovi—began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement in April 2023.
