Their first child, a daughter, joined the family through adoption in August 2025. Brown and Bongiovi married in 2024.

Brown appeared to hint that their family had grown in a September 7 Instagram post from the Dolomites in Italy. She carried their daughter while Bongiovi walked beside her with a baby carrier strapped to his chest, though the second child wasn’t visible.

Brown said on Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast in June that adoption had been part of her plans since childhood. “It was always part of my childhood dreams,” she said, recalling that all her baby dolls were adopted.

She also said she hopes to carry a child someday. “It’s not because I don’t want that. Hopefully one day that’s in my future,” Brown said. “Adoption is love, adoption is forever.”
