Although she acknowledged that she is "really young," Brown said that she is looking forward to becoming a mom one day.
"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. "Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls.

"And my nan, my grandmother is, she was a huge part of my life. And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family for me personally," she went on. "It's a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing."
The Stranger Things star went on to say that she and her husband are planning on having a big family, since they both come from families with four kids.
"And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family," Brown shared. "I'm one of four. He's one of four. So, 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."
