Internet lauds Brooke Shields for sleeping with adult daughters Rowan and Grier when husband is away

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood actress Brooke Shields' daughters—Grier and Rowan Henchy—might be college-going adults. However, their mother admitted with great pride that they will always be 'mommy's girls' at heart.

In a conversation with SiriusXM's 'The Jess Cagle Show' on Thursday, May 2, the 58-year-old actress opened up about her strong relationship with her two daughters, Rowan, 20, and Grier, 18, whom she has with her husband Chris Henchy.

Brooke Shields reveals her daughters 'still sleep in the bed with me'

Speaking on 'The Jess Cagle Show', Shields mentioned that although her girls would attend college in the autumn, she doesn't expect they will live away from her permanently.

While Shields is thrilled that her girls could live with her again, the actress acknowledged that she might not give up her space.

She explained, "My younger daughter [Grier] just turned 18. You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me. We still watch rom-coms. They're my babies and they will never not be," per TMZ.

Furthermore, Brooke does not really believe the girls will be gone for very long after they leave for college this autumn, and she isn't welcoming the empty nester lifestyle.

"Yeah, I've been avoiding thinking of it because people will say to me, 'Oh, you're gonna be so relieved', and I just don't see it happening," she shared.

The 'Pretty Baby' actress added: "I don't see it happening. I was like, 'Well, they're still gonna come back', and by the way, the cost of just living in this city is so prohibitive anyways that it may work in my favor."

"Maybe I'll start charging them rent though. That might be a good idea," the mother of two quipped.

Brooke Shields celebrated her youngest daughter Grier's birthday

In honor of her youngest daughter's 18th birthday in April, Shields shared sweet photos of Grier on Instagram.

The ecstatic mother first shared a sweet throwback picture of herself kissing her toddler daughter's cheek. She also put together a collage with more recent photos of Grier mixed in with old photos from her early years.

"'My baby girl is 18! I love being your mom and seeing the wonderful woman you’re growing into.. Happy golden birthday, Grier! I love you!" Shields captioned the post.

Shield shares daughters Rowan and Grier with husband Chris Henchy, to whom she has been married since 2001. Shields and Chris welcomed Grier on April 18, 2006, in Los Angeles, per Daily Mail.
