Millie Bobby Brown gained attention online after fans questioned her husband Jake Bongiovi’s behavior during a recent outing with their baby.
Photos and videos from the outing showed the 21-year-old star carrying their daughter as her husband walked behind them, leaving fans furious.
Some fans suggested his actions were a warning sign, saying he appeared distant and offered little support during the public appearance.
Other fans defended him, pointing to images posted by the Stranger things star in which he held the baby and claimed the criticism was unfair.
Bongiovi, son of musician Jon Bon Jovi, married Brown in May 2024 after their engagement in April 2023.
However, the couple welcomed their adopted daughter in August 2025 and prioritized their family’s privacy and family life.
During another outing, the Enola Holmes Actress was seen hiding her daughter from paparazzi while her hisab and close friend Noah Schnapp helped her.
In addition, observers noticed that Schnapp was carrying family bags, fueling discussion about Bongiovi’s role during public moments.
Brown has spoken about her experiences as a mother and reflected on the importance of keeping her daughter’s life private until she is ready to share more.
She told British Vogue that parenthood has changed her perspective and made small moments more precious, saying her days are now full of hugs, laughter and love.
Jon Bon Jovi also shared his joy as a grandfather, calling the experience both crazy and wonderful.
Despite online criticism, Millie praised Jake as the most amazing father and highlighted their shared commitment to raising their child with care and privacy.
