“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.
“And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi.”
The couple are yet to share any photos or reveal more information about their newest addition.
Mrs Bongiovi and her now-husband, who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, began dating in 2021.
The pair then tied the knot in May last year before later having a ceremony in Italy.

The Enola Holmes actress has previously said she wants a “big family”.
Speaking on the Smartless podcast earlier this year, she said: “I’m still really young but my mom actually had her first child at 21 and my dad was 19.
“It has been my thing since before I met Jake since before I was a baby I told my mom I wanted to be a mom like the way my mom was to me 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 added that her 23-year-old model husband had said he wanted to wait until the pair were married before starting a family.
“So that was his thing and my thing was I really want a family and I want a big family,” she continued.
“He is one of four, I’m 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 from adopting.
“My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by, Jake and I, our energy in the house is ‘the door is always open’, and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.”
