It’s fair to say that one of the major perks of being the child of a celebrity is having access to their wardrobe, which will often be full of stunning designer outfits worn to movie premieres and red carpet events.
The teenager ended up opting for the attention-grabbing Richard Tyler dress that Brooke wore to the Golden Globes in 1998, where she was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.
And the star went one step further when it came to her second daughter, 18-year-old Grier Henchy’s, high school graduation earlier this summer.
After going through her famous mom’s hand-me-downs, Grier chose to wear Brooke’s 1997 wedding dress for the occasion, and even tailored it beforehand.
Brooke wore the bridal gown when she married her first husband, tennis legend Andre Agassi, who she divorced in 1999.
Brooke went on to admit that she feels honored when her daughters want to wear her old clothes, and revealed that nothing is off limits when it comes to her wardrobe.
But after the sweet mother-daughter bonding of organizing Grier’s graduation dress, Brooke had to face the reality of becoming a self-proclaimed “empty nester,” with the star breaking down in tears when Grier recently headed to college.
It comes two years after Brooke went viral for crying over Rowan leaving the family home for her sophomore year of college in an emotional TikTok video, and it hadn’t gotten any easier the second time around.
Sharing a new video to her social media page, Brooke once again sobbed over the pain of her daughters flying the nest.
“OK, so 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?” she said through tears. “It’s not easy for the moms. I mean, it’s just so weird.”
“It was really hard,” Brooke went on. “[Grier] started crying, and then I really started crying, and then I cried a good portion of the ride home. So anyway, um, I’m an empty nester. Wow.”
As with the 2022 video, Brooke’s followers found her emotional post incredibly relatable, with many admitting that they felt exactly the same way when their own kids went to college.
