This week, the Netflix actress and her husband Jake Bongiovi, 23, shared on Instagram that they’ve welcomed their first child together through adoption, calling her their “sweet baby girl.” The couple, who wed in May 2024 with a private ceremony followed by a romantic Italian celebration, posted a hand-drawn sketch of a willow tree she wrote –
