Millie Bobby Brown reflects on becoming a mother: ‘It’s incomprehensible’

  • Millie Bobby Brown, the 22-year-old star, has spoken about the "overwhelming love" she feels for her adopted daughter, whom she shares with husband Jake Bongiovi, as part of Unicef’s My Parenting Journey campaign.
  • She views raising a daughter as a "real responsibility" and aims to "set a standard" for her child, teaching her about female empowerment and success.
  • Brown highlighted the challenge of balancing her acting career with being present for her daughter, emphasising the importance of showing her what it means to work hard.
  • The actress expressed that no one prepared her for the profound love of motherhood, describing it as "incomprehensible," and relies on her mother and mother-in-law for advice.
  • Her key advice for other new parents is to approach each day individually, stating that she and her husband take it "one day at a time."
