"When we met Jake and Millie’s daughter, it was just immediate."
He also revealed the nickname that she'll likely call him. “Like, ‘That’s my granddaughter.’ And it’s cool. She won’t be able to walk for at least 10 or 12 years because Papa will be carrying her everywhere she goes,” he said.

Wonderful,” he said to XO Bunnie on her podcast. “They adopted a girl, we met the baby obviously, and immediately that becomes your grandchild, you know what I mean?” he said. “Your baby.”
He also shared his annoying trait. “It’s beautiful. I want to see pictures, like, every other day,” he said. “I’m that pain in the butt guy already and, yeah, it’s cool.”

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi welcomed their daughter earlier this year, sharing the news on a social media post. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” they shared in a joint statement.

Bon Jovi has also opened up about Millie and Jake's relationship, and how, despite their age, the two are very mature and committed to each other and their family.
“We blessed it because we get it, you know?” he said of the marriage. “They’re sorta mature beyond their years. She comes from a family where her parents are still together and they married very young.”
“Her and Jake fell in love and we just thought, ‘OK, we’ll support this,'” he said. “And it’s working out.” The pair started dating in 2021, getting married three years later.
