Brooke Shields Reveals the Surprising Lesson She's Learned From Her Daughters

Brooke Shields is revealing the biggest lesson she's learned from her two daughters, Rowan and Grier, who she shares with husband Chris Henchy. During the AMC Networks upfront, the mother of two told the publication that the biggest lesson she's learned from her kids is: "The mistakes that we quote-unquote think we make are sometimes the most valuable steps towards something that we don't even know yet."

This sage advice, she said, has stuck with her ever since she heard it. But over the years, she says she's received more than just life advice from her two daughters, who are 21 and 18. The two freely offer her fashion advice.

"They don't like me in Upper East Side lady clothes," Shields told previously told the outlet in 2023. "They like me much edgier. She told the publication that she wore an Off-White outfit and her "younger daughter was so beyond," Shields said. "I think it's the only time she's ever just marveled [at] and been proud of me."

In 2023, Shields released a Hulu documentary titled Pretty Baby, and spoke to People at the New York premiere about raising such confident young women. "I'm proud of them speaking their mind," Shields said at the time. "They are young women who are already beginning to find their own agencies." She's spoken in the past and in the movie about not having much agency.

At the time of her documentary's release, she did an As Told To with Time Magazine about what it was like to be the face of the 1980s after she appeared on a cover of the magazine. "At 15, I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of Time’s influence and what it meant to be on the cover; it felt like another day in the modeling world, and that was because I didn’t have autonomy," she said at the time. "There must have been a more significant social relevance that was lost on me at 15, but now I look back at this cover 42 years later and realize how important that cover was."
