Wow, time sure does fly! Brooke Shields recently took to social media to celebrate a major milestone in her life—19 years of marriage to her husband, Chris Henchy. On May 27, Brooke shared a sweet black-and-white photo of the two of them on their wedding day. With a heartfelt caption reading, “19 years ago today,” Brooke reminded us all of the beauty of long-lasting love.
What's the Secret to a Happy Marriage?
Marriage is no small feat, and Brooke has been more than open about the keys to her success with Chris. Back in a 2018 interview with Closer Weekly, she spilled the beans on what keeps their relationship thriving. "A little space is good," Brooke revealed, emphasizing the importance of giving each other room to breathe. But let's be real, there are moments when all you want is your partner's company. Brooke reminisced about one such morning when she and Chris had a rare hour to themselves.
Simple Pleasures: Coffee and Conversation
Instead of diving into their usual routines of emails and calendars, Brooke had a different idea. "Please, let’s just go have coffee out on the porch," she suggested. Chris grabbed the paper, and the two sat outside together. It may have only lasted 45 minutes, but those moments can be some of the most meaningful. Sometimes, it's the simple things that bring couples closer together.

Staying Home and Finding Comfort
With the ongoing challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Brooke and Chris have been spending even more quality time at home. On March 24, Brooke posted a tender picture of her and Chris lounging on the couch together. Her caption perfectly captured the essence of their bond: "Everybody finds comfort in the arms of the person who keeps you safe. Stay home." It's a reminder that even in tough times, love and companionship can provide a sense of security.
In these quarantine days, Brooke, known for her role in Pretty Baby, has also been stepping into the kitchen to cook for her family. Though she admits she's not exactly a culinary expert, she's giving it her best shot. "I’m not known for my cooking. I’m not known for my recipes. I don’t come from a family of chefs," she confessed to Us Weekly. But Brooke decided to try her hand at making tomato sauce, even if it didn’t go perfectly. "I’m attempting a meal, [and] already made some mistakes." It’s all part of the journey, right?
Organizing and Spending Time with Loved Ones
Another thing that keeps Brooke grounded is organizing her house. "It’s one of my favorite things to do," she gushed. With her daughters, Rowan, 17, and Grier, 14, around more often, Brooke feels like she has everything she needs right at home. "Being with my children is one of the purest joys that I have," she told Closer. It's clear that Brooke is cherishing every moment with her family during this time.
So, whether it's a quiet morning with coffee or finding comfort in each other's arms, Brooke and Chris are making the most of their time together. It's a beautiful reminder that love and connection can thrive, even in challenging times.
