And Brooke Shields’ two teenage daughters, Grier and Rowan Henchy, are beginning to make names for themselves as her oldest daughter thrives in college.
Here is a look at how some celebrity kids have grown up over the years.

“Always feeling very lucky to have my wonderful, creative, talented daughter in my life!” she began. “What a gift to share this life journey with you…and the best makeup tips… it’s really great to share beauty tips, dog memes and the same shoe size. Makes life so fun!”
Fans quickly flocked to the actress’s comment section to point out their resemblance.
“And you’re on the left of this pic? No…right? Left?…ri…left….no right,” one user wrote, with another adding, “Copy and paste!!!”

Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford
Kaia Gerber is following in her mother Cindy Crawford’s footsteps.
Gerber, 21, told Byrdie in 2019 that being told she looks like her supermodel mother is something she cherishes. “I always love going back and looking at photos of my mom when she was closer to my age. You can’t deny that we have similarities,” she told the outlet.

“And I’ve always tried to be more like her. I’ve always looked up to her in the way that she hasn’t let anything in the business affect her,” Gerber continued. “In my eyes, she’s the coolest, nicest person in the world.”
Crawford shares her daughter with her husband of 24 years, Rande Gerber. They also share a son, Presley, 23.
Brooke Shields, Rowan and Grier Henchy
Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy are proud parents of their two daughters: Rowan, 19, and Grier Henchy, 16.
The couple tied the knot in 2001 and welcomed their oldest daughter two years later. In December, Shields spoke with People magazine about her concern for her daughters growing up in a world with social media.

“What I do really reiterate over and over and over again is that what you see may not be the reality,” she told the outlet. “And you can’t just accept it because the spotlight’s on it and it’s on Instagram. You really have to know that it’s the world of Oz because behind the curtain, that’s where you want to live.”
In August 2021, Rowan embarked on her college career at Wake Forest University. “Worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,” Shields said of her oldest child leaving for college on an episode of “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

“I’m not ever going to get used to her being gone. She’s going to be married with her own children, and I’m still not going to be used to her being gone,” the actress said on a separate occasion to People.
“She’s really living her life, she’s enjoying college, she’s just really blossoming and growing. I listen to the way [my daughters] talk to each other and their friends and the things they’re discussing, and you think, ‘Wow, she’s really her own person and I’ve done my best in my job and I’m going to try to get out of her way.'”
