Earlier this month, Brown gave fans a glimpse of her family during a trip to Italy’s Dolomites. A September 7 Instagram post showed the actor carrying her daughter, while Bongiovi walked beside her with a baby carrier. Their son was not shown in the post.
The couple announced the arrival of their daughter in 2025, saying they were excited to begin a new chapter of parenthood while maintaining their privacy.

Brown also clarified that adoption was not connected to a decision against having biological children. She said pregnancy could still be part of her future, while describing adoption as something she had always wanted to pursue. She also recalled the emotional wait involved in adopting her first child, saying her maternal instincts came into play when she received the call about becoming a mother.
