“Jon Bon Jovi Opens Up: His Joy at Becoming Grandpa After Jake & Millie Bobby Brown’s Adoption — ‘We Asked for Pictures Every Other Day’”
Jon Bon Jovi is embracing a new chapter of life: grandfatherhood. The 63-year-old rocker recently broke his silence on his son Jake Bongiovi and daughter-in-law Millie Bobby Brown’s adoption of their first child — a baby girl. In a candid TikTok chat with Bunnie XO, Bon Jovi shared his excitement, pride, and the touching way he’s already bonding with his newest family member.
“It’s crazy, but great. Wonderful,” he told the interviewer, reflecting on the moment he learned he would be a grandpa. “They adopted a girl, we met the baby obviously and immediately that becomes your grandchild, you know what I mean? Your baby.” The doting father of four admitted he’s already asking for photo updates regularly. “I want to see pictures, like, every other day … I’m that pain in the butt guy already and, yeah, it’s cool.”
Bon Jovi also weighed in on his support for Jake and Millie’s decision to marry young, something that’s sometimes critiqued in public discussion. He praised their maturity and emphasized that both families share values rooted in early marriage and commitment. “We blessed it because we get it, you know?” Bon Jovi said. “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.’”
Jake, 23, married Millie Bobby Brown, 21, in a private ceremony in May 2024, followed by a larger celebration in Italy later that year. Over the summer of 2025, the couple announced via Instagram that they had adopted their daughter, describing the moment as entering their “beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.”
For Bon Jovi, this milestone adds to a long history of family moments. He and his wife Dorothea Bongiovi have raised four children — Stephanie, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo — and this adoption now brings his first grandchild into the fold. Despite the glare of public attention surrounding young celebrity relationships and life choices, Bon Jovi’s reaction reveals nothing but genuine joy and support.
Fans and onlookers have noted how Bon Jovi seems to balance his rock-star persona with heartfelt family values, often sharing glimpses into his private life. In this case, it’s clear the moment has touched him deeply. He’s embracing the role of grandfather with the enthusiasm of a father who’s proud, protective, and fully present.
As Jake and Millie embark on life as parents, Bon Jovi’s words hint at what many expect from this next chapter: warmth, support, and the same values that have evidently guided the Bongiovi family. In his own way, the rock legend is stepping into a fresh identity — not just as a cultural icon or performer, but as someone deeply connected to love, family, and legacy.
