Brown, who married the 23-year-old actor in May 2024. talked about wanting to be a mother and grow her family earlier this year on an episode of the “Smartless” podcast. “My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it’s been my thing since before I met Jake,” Brown said. “I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me.” The Enola Holmes star noted that both she and her husband come from families with four kids. “I really want a big family,” Brown said. “It is definitely in our future, but, for me, I don’t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting.”
