Brooke Shields celebrated her 60th birthday as daughters Rowan and Grier shared sweet tributes and family photos to honor her special day
Brooke Shields’ daughters Rowan and Grier Henchy have paid tribute to their mom on her 60th birthday. “Happy birthday to my role model, partner in crime, and best friend. Thank you for always being my rock,” Rowan, 22, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 31.
Rowan shared multiple family photos in honor of Shields’ milestone birthday on Saturday, in addition to referring to her mom as “everyone’s favorite girl boss” in one slide. Grier, 19, called Shields “the coolest mama I know” and shared a vintage picture of her mother kissing her as a baby.Shields celebrated her special day by posing in a skimpy black bikini while she relaxed on a beachside hammock. “Woke up today in paradise… and in a new decade of life! This is 6️⃣0️⃣! Thank you for all of the birthday love,” the Blue Lagoon actress, 60, wrote via Instagram. Shields definitely received lots of “birthday love” on her post, with fellow former teen idol Shaun Cassidy, Monica Lewinsky and Sophia Bush among those joining in on the celebration.“Wheeee! Level sixty! I hear it’s great over here,” supermodel Paulina Porizkova chimed in.Shields shares her two daughters with Chris Henchy, the writer-producer she married in 2001. In April, Chris came up with a wonderful surprise for daughter Grier when it looked like he’d miss her 19th birthday. Shields burst into tears in a heartwarming video showing Chris dropping in for Grier’s birthday dinner completely unannounced. “Dad of the century surprised @grierhhenchy for her birthday … but really he surprised me and @rowanhenchyy too!!!” Shields revealed via Instagram. “We all cried … he said it was just a flight ❤️.” The Pretty Baby star previously shared an emotional clip shot when she dropped Grier off at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in August 2024. “I sat here a year ago and I watched my big girl leave, and I’m back on this porch and I am now officially an empty nester … It’s not easy for the moms,” Shields recalled in the video. “It’s just so weird. So weird that she’s not here.” She went on, “It was really hard and then she started crying, Then I really started crying. And then I cried a good portion of the ride home. I’m an empty nester … Wow.” Her husband Chris is a veteran film and TV writer who has frequently collaborated with Will Ferrell. He produced both Eastbound & Down and Entourage, as well as directing Impractical Jokers: The Movie. The couple got engaged during a trip to Mexico in 2000 before tying the knot the following year in a beachside wedding on Catalina Island. The pair are still going strong 24 years later, though Shields admitted in her 2025 memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman that their sex life is a work-in-progress. She wrote about struggling with sexuality because of the way her romantic relationships impacted her late mom, Teri Shields. “My connection with my boyfriend was a personal affront to , because having a man in my life in such a real way meant that she was losing me,” she wrote. “Oh, how I wish I’d just let the lust take over! But regrettably I was never able to do that.” Shields went on, “Here I am, more than 35 years later, sometimes pretending I’m asleep when I know Chris is in the mood. That has nothing to do with Chris — he’s hot! He’s been working out at a boxing gym recently, and he looks incredible.” The Suddenly Susan actress made it clear that Chris is “not at all the problem” but that she’s still processing some emotional and physical issues surrounding sex.
