Chris Henchy<\/strong><\/a> and Brooke Shields<\/strong><\/a>‘ daughter Rowan Henchy<\/strong><\/a> is making a name for herself.<\/p>\n

Bravo officially announced the 23-year-old New York native as the newcomer cast member for Next Gen NYC<\/em><\/a> Season 2 ahead of the show’s premiere on June 24.<\/p>\n

During a May appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle<\/em><\/a>, Brooke said she was “sick to [her] stomach” when she learned that Rowan was joining the cast of the show.<\/p>\n

“I said, ‘Look, don’t be a [mumble] up. Don’t! Be the voice of reason. You’re going to be fine,'” she shared. “She wants to be in broadcast journalism. She also likes being on camera.”<\/p>\n

Brooke also pointed out that bad behavior “is not the goal,” adding, “This should be a stepping stone of some kind, but it’s given her a lot of confidence in a way that’s so nice to see.”<\/p>\n

Here’s everything to know about Chris and Brooke’s eldest daughter.<\/p>\n

Chris and Brooke welcomed their first daughter, Rowan, on May 15, 2003, after seven rounds of fertility treatments<\/a> and one miscarriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Rowan’s birth, the mom-of-two shared, “I had a strong desire to deliver vaginally. After 24 hours of labor and being shot up with antibiotics, Pitocin, and epidural medication, I had only dilated 3 centimeters. I had to have a C-section. I was trying not to feel overwhelmed by the fact that what was about to happen was major surgery and was the antithesis of the image of childbirth to which I had become quite attached to over the years.”<\/p>\n

Brooke continued, “I was jolted out of my reverie when I heard the words, ‘Cord wrapped! Cord wrapped!’ After what felt like hours, I heard the sound I had been praying for.”<\/p>\n

Rowan grew up in New York City and attended Convent of the Sacred Heart from 2017 to 2021.<\/p>\n
