Brooke Shields reveals what her daughters do to make her ‘proud’

Brooke Shields, famously known for her child star role in Pretty Baby, feels “proud” of her daughters “for being their own people.”

The 60-year-old star has daughters Rowan, 22, and Grier, 20, whom she shared with her husband Chris Henchy and Brooke admits that she’s loved watching her children grow and find their own way in the world.

Brooke, who has been married to Chris since 2001 and having previously been married to tennis star Andre Agassi, told PEOPLE magazine, “You know, they’re okay and, and then you just get so proud of them, not of anything you did, but you just get proud of them, you know, for being their own people and being confident and, and trying things that they didn’t know they knew how to do.”

Additionally, The Blue Lagoon actress admitted that she has become “more lenient” with her daughters over time and discussed that her parenting style has evolved over the years.

During an appearance on Today with Jenna and Friends, Brooke Shields explained, “Holiday plans have sort of all been overtaken by my daughters’ friends.”

“So, they’re all coming to our house. And what’s been interesting this time is that there’s boyfriend situations, and there’s only so many beds. And it’s a discussion,” the proud mom hilariously added as she discussed the growing up of children.
