Millie Bobby Brown always dreamed of 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," the Enola Holmes actress confessed. "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.

Millie Bobby Brown Wants a 'Big Family' With Jake Bongiovi
Jake Bongiovi wanted him and Millie Bobby Brown to get married before having kids.
Brown said her husband didn't want the duo to become parents until they had tied the knot, however.
"It's a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing," she noted.
The Electric State star even hinted at wanting to adopt while discussing how many kids she hopes to have with Bongiovi.
"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 said at the time.
