Back in the day, Brooke Shields was a household name starring in blockbuster hits that captured the world's attention. Now, at 54 years old, she’s found her true calling as a devoted mom to two wonderful daughters. Recently, at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City, Brooke opened up to Closer Weekly about the invaluable lessons she hopes to pass on to her girls, Rowan Henchy, 16, and Grier Henchy, 13. Let's dive into what this iconic actress had to say about raising strong, confident women.
A Night to Celebrate Women
Brooke Shields lit up the room at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, where she was surrounded by some of the most inspiring women in the world. "It’s an honor to be surrounded by such incredible women—so much talent, brilliance, strength, perseverance, and individuality," Brooke gushed on November 11th. Speaking with Closer, the beloved star of Blue Lagoon revealed the powerful messages she hopes to instill in her daughters. This wasn’t just another awards show; it was a reminder of the importance of empowering young women to embrace their unique qualities and find their own voices.
Teaching Strength and Confidence
Brooke shared her approach to raising daughters who are confident and unapologetically themselves. "It's all about finding your power and strength, but owning it honestly and purely," she said, referencing the inspiring women around her at the event. "It’s not about fighting others for it; it’s simply about embracing who you are and letting that shine." Brooke emphasized the importance of teaching her girls to handle adversity with grace and resilience. "There’s so much negativity out there—bullying, judgment—but how they respond to it is key. I want them to know their worth and never let anyone else define them," she passionately explained.

A Return to Show Business
After marrying screenwriter Chris Henchy in 2001 and becoming a mom, Brooke took a step back from her Hollywood career. But over the past few years, she's made a triumphant return to the spotlight. "I’d be bored out of my mind if I didn’t have so many creative outlets," Brooke told Closer last March. "Being an actress is who I am—it’s part of my identity." Whether it’s guest starring on shows like Jane the Virgin or launching a successful clothing line called Timeless for QVC, Brooke proves that there’s always room for growth and new opportunities. "Every project challenges me in different ways, and I love that," she added.

Life Balance with a Little Help from Her Husband
Juggling motherhood, work, and social life isn’t easy, but Brooke has a secret weapon: her supportive husband, Chris Henchy. "We communicate really well and always try to stay on the same page," she told Closer. When it comes to parenting, Brooke believes in presenting a united front. "We’re a team, and that’s crucial when raising kids. We want our daughters to feel loved, supported, and confident in who they are," she explained. It’s clear that Brooke’s success as a mom and professional stems from her partnership with Chris.
