Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Go on a Stroll with Their Daughter

The bundled-up couple caught the eyes of onlookers as they strolled through New York City, exuding warmth and affection, yet something about the moment quietly stirred concern.

On December 7, 2025, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi were spotted walking together through the city streets with their baby daughter nestled safely in Millie's arms.

While the pair looked cheerful and deeply affectionate, embodying the perfect young family, the outing quickly ignited a subtle wave of backlash that seemed to mommy-shame the "Stranger Things" actress over a single detail.

Cozy Couple Steps Out With Their New Daughter

Jake, 23, looked relaxed and casual. He wore a navy blue zip-up jacket with white stripes, paired with blue jeans, light brown boots, and a dark blue cap emblazoned with "Cherry American." The outfit seemed warm enough for the winter air.

Millie, 21, was dressed even more snugly in an oversized puffy coat in dark steel gray, while her blue jeans matched her husband's. Her hair was tied back in a messy ponytail, but it was the small bundle in her arms that captured everyone's attention.

Their newly adopted daughter was tucked against Millie's chest, carefully wrapped in her coat. Only the top of the baby's head was visible, revealing a soft crown of straight, jet-black hair.

The couple looked completely at ease, giggling with each other and walking close, oblivious to passersby or paparazzi lenses. It was the image of holiday bliss, a young family about to celebrate their first Christmas as parents.

But not everyone saw it that way.

Internet Outrage Focuses on One Tiny, Missing Detail

Across social media, some netizens didn't focus on the joy or love. Instead, all attention turned to one visible aspect: the baby's bare head.

It didn't take long for the mommy-shaming to start.

"Baby should be wearing a hat," one netizen remarked. Another posted, "Love her but put a hat on the baby 😒," while someone else lashed out with, "She better get a hat and scarf for the baby 😤 it's too cold!!"

Some Jump to Her Defense Amid the Criticism

While critics raised eyebrows, others were on Millie's side, pointing out that she had clearly taken steps to shield the baby from the cold by keeping her inside her coat.

"Millie protecting her baby from the cold by putting her inside her coat," one supporter wrote.

Meanwhile, others were just mesmerized by the rare glimpse of the couple's child, whom they adopted this summer after marrying in 2024.

"That baby has a beautiful head of hair!" one person exclaimed. Another noted, "Baby has black hair," and someone else gushed, "Look at all of her hair! I bet you she is so beautiful!! 😍"

For many, the moment wasn't about parenting critiques or winter accessories. It was a snapshot of young love, new parenthood, and the sweet quiet of a family enjoying their walk.

"They're a cute family," one commenter wrote simply. Another summed it up best, "Sweet family stroll—love to see it 💛."

The First Glimpse

This wasn't the first time that netizens caught a sight of their baby. On October 9, 2025, Millie shared a photo series on Instagram that ignited waves of emotion online. A particularly tender snapshot showed Jake with his arm lovingly wrapped around Millie, who gently cradled their newborn daughter.

The baby's face was intentionally blurred, preserving the family's privacy. But the raw intimacy of the moment spoke volumes. Millie's simple caption read, "my t swift october 🍁[sic]."

Fans were quick to flood the comments across social media. On Facebook, one person declared, "So sweet." Another echoed, "Super sweet."

Over on Instagram, the reaction only intensified. One gushed, "the prettiest [sic]." Another swooned, "You guys are the cutest ❤️." A third comment simply read, "So good."

And it didn't stop there. "Aww adorable 😍," doted one netizen, while another added, "That's great...but also... Jon is a grandaddy 😲😲." Another commenter wondered, "Where's the baby?"

Grandpa Breaks His Silence

That last comment might've been cheeky, but it touches on a wider public curiosity surrounding this suddenly-expanded celebrity family.

Earlier in September, rock legend and now-grandfather Jon Bon Jovi, 63, opened up in a TikTok clip from Bunnie Xo's "Dumb Blonde" podcast. The iconic musician was candid, even emotional, about his son's new family and Millie Bobby Brown's place in it.

"She's a sweetheart and she's a hard worker," he said. "I tell her all the time how much I admire her because her work ethic is unbelievable."

He added, "They got married very young, but we blessed it because we get it. They are sort of mature beyond their years."

He went on, "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, okay, we will support this. And it's working out."

When asked about the emotional shift into grandparenthood, Jon beamed, "Crazy, but great. Wonderful. We met the baby, obviously, and immediately, that becomes your grandchild."

He added, laughing, "It's beautiful, I want to see pictures like every day. I'm that pain in the butt guy already. It's cool."
