Nothing Different with Adoption: Stranger Things Star is Now a Mom

Millie has spoken openly about her dream of becoming a mom long before her marriage. On an episode of the Smartless podcast in March, the 21-year-old actress reflected on how motherhood has always been part of her plan.

“Jake knows how important it is to me, and of course I want to really establish myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family,” she added. “For me personally, like, it’s a huge thing.”

She went on to say, “Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.”

Both Millie and Jake come from big families, and Millie has shared that she wants the same.

“I’m one of four. He’s one of four, so it is definitely in our future,” she explained.

Along the way, Millie opened up about her feelings on adoption.

“I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting,” she said. “For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I—our energy in the house is like, ‘The door is always open.’”
