Meet Brooke Shields’ 19-year-old daughter, Rowan Henchy: the budding journalist wore her mum’s glam 1998 Golden Globes dress to prom – but will she follow in her Hollywood footsteps?
- Henchy, who recently interviewed her famous mum on the red carpet during an event in New York, dreams of getting into broadcast journalism over acting
- Her dad Chris Henchy is a screenwriter and producer, noted for his work with comedian Will Ferrell on Land of the Lost, The Other Guys and The Campaign
Brooke Shields gave sage advice when her daughter, Rowan Henchy, interviewed her on the red carpet at the recent Fashionphile event in New York City. Henchy asked her famous mum how to succeed in the entertainment industry.
While she may not exactly be following in her mum’s footsteps, Henchy isn’t straying away from the glamour of showbiz: she’s studying to become a broadcast journalist and hopes to interview A-list celebrities just like her mum. She’s currently attending Wake Forest University, according to People.
Shields stressed to her daughters, Rowan and Grier Henchy, to make sure to find a vocation they love, according to Entertainment Tonight. She said to work hard, adding “no job is too small, focus on what you love and what you want to do”.
It seems that Rowan is stepping into the spotlight more and more these days. Last month, Yahoo! Style reported she hit the red carpet with her mum at The Hollywood Reporter’s Most Powerful People in Media party in Manhattan. Many noted how similar they look in the comments of photos that Shields shared on Instagram.
But besides being known as Shields’ daughter, who is 19-year-old Rowan Henchy?
Brooke Shields had difficulty conceiving her
After a miscarriage and seven IVF attempts, according to People, Shields gave birth to Henchy on May 15, 2003. And yet, following Henchy’s birth, Shields fought a mental bout: she was diagnosed with post-partum depression. Struggling to take care of Henchy, she even found herself suicidal, contemplating “putting an end to it all”.
