Brooke Shields‘ pretty baby is all grown up.
The Blue Lagoon actress was very emotional after helping her 18-year-old daughter Grier—who she shares with husband Chris Henchy—move into a dorm room at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Despite previously joking about her excitement in having Grier all grown up, Brooke revealed in a tearful video that she’s actually all torn up over the college freshman’s departure from home.
“I am now officially an empty nester,” Brooke shared on Instagram Aug. 26, filming herself from the porch of the family house. “It’s so weird that she’s not here.”
But for Brooke, the silver lining in all of it is that Grier is now with her and Chris’ 21-year-old daughter Rowan, who has been studying at the same college since 2021.
“But it’s not easy,” the 59-year-old continued, sharing that it was “really hard” seeing Grier off. “She started crying, and then I really started crying.”
Brooke added, “And then, I cried a good portion of the ride home.”
