"This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption," Millie first announced in a post on Instagram Thursday, August 21.
"We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy," she went on, confirming: "And then there were three." The comments section on the post was disabled.
Speaking on the Smartless podcast earlier this summer with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, Millie teased that motherhood was definitely on the horizon for her, despite her young age.
"I'm still really young, but 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," she said.

Millie added that Jake was on the same page as her as far as her plans of becoming a mom soon, but she emphasized that she also wanted to focus on furthering her career as an actress and producer, which started when she was a tween.

"Jake was like, 'We cannot do that until we get married,' so that was his thing," she then noted. "My thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family."

"I don't see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting," she said, and emphasized: "For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I — our energy in the house is like, 'The door is always open.'"
