'Woke up today in paradise… and in a new decade of life! This is 6️⃣0️⃣! Thank you for all of the birthday love,' the Blue Lagoon actress, 60, wrote via Instagram. Shields definitely received lots of 'birthday love' on her post, with fellow former teen idol Shaun Cassidy, Monica Lewinsky and Sophia Bush among those joining in on the celebration. 'Wheeee! Level sixty! I hear it's great over here,' supermodel Paulina Porizkova chimed in. Ricki Lake added, 'Yes Queen! Happy milestone Birthday!' Shields shares her two daughters with Chris Henchy, the writer-producer she married in 2001. (She was previously married to tennis star Andre Agassi between 1997 and 1999.) In April, Chris came up with a wonderful surprise for daughter Grier when it looked like he'd miss her 19th birthday. Shields burst into tears in a heartwarming video showing Chris dropping in for Grier's birthday dinner completely unannounced. Brooke Shields Gets Matching Tattoos With Her Two Daughters: 'There's Nothing Like Being a Mama' 'Dad of the century surprised @grierhhenchy for her birthday … but really he surprised me and @rowanhenchyy too!!!' Shields revealed via Instagram. 'We all cried … he said it was just a flight ❤️.' The Pretty Baby star previously shared an emotional clip shot when she dropped Grier off at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in August 2024. (Rowan also attended Wake Forest.) 'I sat here a year ago and I watched my big girl leave, and I'm back on this porch and I am now officially an empty nester … It's not easy for the moms,' Shields recalled in the video. 'It's just so weird. So weird that she's not here.' She went on, 'It was really hard and then she started crying, Then I really started crying. And then I cried a good portion of the ride home. I'm an empty nester … Wow.' Her husband Chris is a veteran film and TV writer who has frequently collaborated with Will Ferrell. He produced both Eastbound & Down and Entourage, as well as directing Impractical Jokers: The Movie. The couple got engaged during a trip to Mexico in 2000 before tying the knot the following year in a beachside wedding on Catalina Island. The pair are still going strong 24 years later, though Shields admitted in her 2025 memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman that their sex life is a work-in-progress. She wrote about struggling with sexuality because of the way her romantic relationships impacted her late mom, Teri Shields. Brooke Shields Reflects on Falling-Out With Tom Cruise, Confirms He 'Eventually' Apologized 'My connection with my boyfriend was a personal affront to [my mom], because having a man in my life in such a real way meant that she was losing me,' she wrote. 'Oh, how I wish I'd just let the lust take over! But regrettably I was never able to do that.' Shields went on, 'Here I am, more than 35 years later, sometimes pretending I'm asleep when I know Chris is in the mood. That has nothing to do with Chris — he's hot! He's been working out at a boxing gym recently, and he looks incredible.' The Suddenly Susan actress made it clear that Chris is 'not at all the problem' but that she's still processing some emotional and physical issues surrounding sex.

The fit and fabulous actress' husband Chris Henchy, 61, surprised them all as they sat down to dinner to celebrate their daughter Grier's big day. Shields and both her daughters burst into tears when the Holmes & Watson producer walked into the room. He was apparently working on a project and not expected to attend the celebration. 'Dad of the century surprised @grierhenchy for her birthday… but really he surprised me and @rowanhenchy too!!!,' the actress explained next to the video. 'We all cried… he said it was just a flight ❤️.' The actress' husband Chris Henchy, 61, surprised them all as they sat down to dinner to celebrate their daughter Grier's big day Shields didn't let her fans hear the private conversation, but instead used John Mayer's song Daughters for the audio, adding to the emotion. 'Such a sweet moment!' exclaimed actress Faith Ford. 'So sweet!❤️' agreed Kimberly Williams Paisley. 'This is the sweetest! I'm crying too!' admitted Courteney Cox. 'I feel like i should get a lot of credit for keeping this a secret. not QUITE as much as Henchy for doing it... but maybe 85 percent as much?,' joked actor and writer Ben Falcone. Both Grier and her older sister Rowan, 21, are students at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. 'This is so beautiful,' wrote country singer Amy Scruggs. 'I feel this so much with you as I'm reading your book and literally just finished the chapter on leaving the nest so this one just made me cry,' the Love Another Day artist said. While the mom-of-two has admitted in the past that she was terrified of being an empty nester, in her tome Brooke Shield Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, she revealed it has brought her 'exhilaration and freedom.' 'I also don't have to worry about accidentally contradicting myself or opening the apps on my phone too slowly or inadvertently making a hypocritical decision or simply breathing wrong,' she wrote in the bestseller. 'My daughters watched me like a hawk, and there's some comfort in being able to move around the house without the unforgiving eyes of teenagers in every room. To revel in a lazy Sunday or say, "Yes, I think I will enjoy another cocktail, thank you".' 'There's also a freedom of discovery in this period,' she explained, adding, 'With all that time I once spent catering to my girls, I can now cater to myself.'
