“hi little guy!”

Second baby arrives just over a year later

The couple's newest addition comes just over a year after they welcomed their first child, a daughter, through adoption in August 2025.

Adoption was a childhood dream for Millie

In a June interview, Millie revealed she had always wanted to adopt since childhood, playing with adopted baby dolls rather than pretending to be pregnant.

“It was always part of my childhood dreams.”

Adoption doesn't rule out biological children

Millie clarified that choosing adoption does not mean she has ruled out carrying children herself in the future, saying she hopes that will happen one day.

“It's not because I don't want that. Hopefully one day that's in my future.”

Adoption is love, adoption is forever

When discussing what adoption means to her, Millie emphasized that adoption represents love and permanence, reflecting her deep commitment to her family.

“Adoption is love, adoption is forever.”

Couple prioritizes privacy with growing family

Millie and Jake have consistently kept their family life private, sharing minimal details about their children and keeping their faces out of public photos.

“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.”

Family of four amid busy acting career

Millie and Jake are now raising their two adopted children while Millie continues her acting work, including the final season of Stranger Things in 2025 and Enola Holmes 3 in July 2026.
