Mother of the Bride” star Brooke Shields‘ stunning Hamptons home has officially become an empty nest after her younger daughter, Grier, flew off to college, joining her older sister, Rowan, at school—and leaving the 59-year-old actress devastated.
Shields, who shot to fame at age 12 while starring in the infamous 1978 movie “Pretty Baby,” dropped both of her daughters off at Wake Forest University at the end of August.
Soon after, she opened up about her grief over their departure in a candid TikTok video filmed on the porch of her property in Southampton, NY.
However, in the weeks since, Shields appears to have found the silver lining in her empty-nester status while filming a series of more light-hearted clips at the property she and husband Chris Henchy bought in 2013 for just over $4 million.

Built in 1996, the six-bedroom, eight-bath, 4,500-square-foot retreat features a paneled entry foyer, mudroom with washer and dryer, living room with fireplace, formal dining room, den, chef’s kitchen with a family room and fireplace.
The primary suite features a gas fireplace and marble bath with a steam shower and a heated floor. The lower level contains a separate entrance, a media room, and a walk-in cedar closet.
Realtor.com estimates suggest the home is now valued at about $6 million. It offers a desirable in-town location that is close to the ocean beaches.
