Jon Bon Jovi broke his silence on his son Jake and daughter-in-law Mille Bobby Brown’s new addition.
The couple announced they’d welcomed their first child via adoption in late August.
He also shared his unfiltered thoughts on his son and Brown getting married so young.
Jon Bon Jovi is breaking his silence on his newfound grandfather status, a month after his son Jake Bonjiovi and daughter-in-law Millie Bobby Brown welcomed their first child. The Stranger Things actress surprised fans when she and her husband announced they’d adopted a newborn daughter on August 21—and the musician revealed that he’s as smitten with the new addition as her parents are.
In a TikTok interview with Bunnie XO that was shared on Sunday, September 21, the rock star opened up about the newest Bonjiovi family member. “It’s crazy, but great. Wonderful,” he shared, adding, “They adopted a girl, we met the baby obviously and immediately that becomes your grandchild, you know what I mean? Your baby.” The Bon Jovi frontman also admitted that he’s leaning hard into being a first-time granddad, sharing, “It’s beautiful. I want to see pictures, like, every other day. I’m that pain in the butt guy already and, yeah, it’s cool.”

In addition to supporting the young couple’s decision to start their family early, Bon Jovi also weighed in on Brown, 21, and his 23-year-old son saying “I do” in their early twenties. “We blessed it because we get it, you know?” he revealed, sharing that the marriage decision was an easy one for the family. “They’re sort of mature beyond their years. She comes from a family where her parents are still together and they married very young.”

Brown and Jake recently gave their fans a glimpse of their newborn daughter on social media, although they have yet to publicly share her name, adoption date, or when she was born. On September 1, the couple soft-launched their new addition with a photo of the model holding their baby in a car seat. “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the couple wrote, adding, “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
