Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about her hopes and dreams of welcoming another child, that she would carry this time, after adopting her first daughter.
Last year, 22-year-old Brown revealed and she her husband, Jake Bongiovi, 24, had welcomed their first child via adoption in August.
Since then, they have kept much of their parenting journey private, but Brown has now said she is 'hopeful' to carry a child in future.
She appeared as a guest on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast earlier today, Thursday, June 11, where she opened up about the couple's decision to go down the route of adoption.

“Always, always wanted to adopt,” she shared, saying it was her ambition from a young age.
“It was always part of my childhood dreams. Every time I was at home and I was, you know, 5, 6 years old, my parents were like, ‘You had your baby dolls.' They were all adopted," she added.
"I never had any of them myself. And I never pretended I was pregnant," the Stranger Things star recalled.
She stressed: “It's not because I don't want that."
The star went on to talk about her future plans: "Hopefully, one day that's in my future.”
She added: “Adoption is love, adoption is forever.”
Brown also said she originally planned to be a social worker for her career, studying social work before transferring over to veterinary care: "I loved the aspect of adoption in my social work courses… so meaningful and important.
" And then I also learned what it, you know, speaking to, and reading a lot about being a birth mother and what that journey is. So for me, my husband and I took a lot of time to focus on what that story and what that journey looks like. And then we embarked it.”
Fans recently guessed what her daughter's name is, after the couple kept details under wraps, but eagle-eyed viewers spotted a name necklace the star was wearing.
It came after they noticed her phone case also featured the initials 'RWB'.
Many fans believe she has named the baby after her late grandmother, Ruth.
"Her necklace says Ruth! Baby name??!!” wrote one, while another added: “It’s her grandma's, I think, but she could have named her baby after her so.”
A third guessed: “Ruth is her grandmother's name; the baby's name is Rue, it's very similar, it must be in honour of the grandmother.”
Brown also recently gave another insight into motherhood, in a new video.
"My life has changed in a lot of ways, raising a daughter is a real responsibility," she explained.
"I just try to learn as much as I can and feed it into her life, so that she knows nothing other than girls supporting girls, women succeeding, women achieving their dreams and living in a world and building a world for her."
