Brooke Shields’ daughters are all grown up!
The actress and model is the mother of two daughters — Rowan Francis, born in 2003, and Grier Hammond, born in 2006 — whom she shares with her husband of over 20 years, Chris Henchy. As Rowan and Grier have grown up, Shields has been vocal about how proud she is of her daughters, both students at Wake Forest University.
“I’m proud of them speaking their mind,” she told PEOPLE at the premiere of her documentary Pretty Baby. “They are young women who are already beginning to find their own agencies.”
As Shields releases her latest memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, see her most adorable photos with Rowan and Grier through the years.

For National Daughters’ Day, Shields posted a carousel of then-and-now pics of her with daughters Rowan and Grier, including this glam shot of the trio.

Girl Time
Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy tied the knot in 2001 and welcomed daughters Rowan and Grier in 2003 and 2006, respectively.
After spending much of their childhood out of the spotlight, Rowan and Grier are now all grown up! Here, they pose for a photo with their mom at a benefit for Ovarian Cancer in The Hamptons in July 2017.
Merry and Bright
Shields told Porter in 2018 that both of her daughters are “confident” and “well-adjusted.”
“[My daughters] are so much more mature than I was, so much more confident in their own bodies,” the star said. “They have the same stubbornness and strength that I do, but are more well-adjusted. I am jealous as all hell about that. But, of course, I created it.”
The Best Job
On Mother’s Day in 2018, Brooke captioned a photo with her daughters, “My girls ❤️. Out of all the jobs I’ve had, this is by far my favorite one.”
All Grown Up
Grier looked every bit as fashionable as her mom at the September 2019 Hampton Classic Horse Show Grand Prix.
Family Fun
In November 2020, Shields captioned a family Thanksgiving photo, “Thankful for them 💖.”
Family Red Carpet Date
We’re not joking! Shields stepped out on the red carpet to support her husband, with Rowan and Grier, at the premiere of Impractical Jokers: The Movie in February 2020. Henchy directed, co-wrote and produced the film.
TikTok Titans
In April 2020, Rowan included her mom in a popular TikTok trend, lip-syncing to Abba’s “Angel Eyes,” featured in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. In the videos, the pair wear matching bathrobes and pink towels wrapped around their heads.
Sunny Disposition
Brooke paused for a “sunny selfie with [her] baby girl” in August 2020.
What’s Old Is New
Who needs to shop when you can just visit your mom’s epic closet?! Rowan got to wear her mom’s strapless red gown from the 1998 Golden Globes to her prom in June 2021.
“I thought it was a special night when I was nominated for a Golden Globe and wore this dress in 1998, but nothing could have prepared me to see my daughter wearing it to her prom,” Shields, who was up for best performance by an actress in a television series – comedy or musical for her role on Suddenly Susan that year, captioned her Instagram post.
She added, “Proud mama!”
A Sweet Tribute
In June 2021, Shields and her 18-year-old daughter, Rowan, got matching ladybug tattoos to commemorate Rowan’s graduation (and their mother-daughter bond).
“A special graduation gift and memory with my girl 🐞 I’m so proud of you, I love you more than words can say,” Shields captioned the Instagram photos.
College Bound
“This was the saddest drive away from anywhere I’ve ever had to make,” Shields wrote after dropping Rowan at college in August 2021. But it wasn’t all tears from the doting mom. She added: “My unique and extraordinary baby girl spreading her wings. I love you so. We are so proud of you.”
Fashion Plates
While her big sis was off at school, Grier joined Mom across the globe for the Salvatore Ferragamo spring/summer 2022 runway show at Milan Fashion Week in Italy. “a beautiful day with my girl,” Shields wrote alongside a pic of the pair.
City Chicks
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: when the kids are in town!
“Home for the holidays 🥰♥️🎄” the doting mom captioned a smiling snap with her girls on a New York City street in December 2021.
In the Holiday Spirit
Shields and her daughters got all glammed up for a Christmas dinner in 2022, and the Suddenly Susan actress sent well wishes to followers: “May your day be full of happy.”
Beach Day
They vacationed in the Bahamas while Grier and Rowan were on winter break from university — and a week before Shields’ book launch.
“The best new years trip 🩵🏝️,” Shields captioned her Instagram post. “Back to work… book comes out next week!!!”
