Brooke Shields reveals why she once broke up with Chris Henchy before marrying him
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brooke Shields doesn’t mind joking about ‘breaking up’ with her husband Chris Henchy. In a recent candid interview, the ‘Endless Love’ star talked about her recent out two-part documentary ‘Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.’ The artist said she mainly chose to break up with Henchy, fearing she hadn’t given herself enough time or, in her own words, "rebounding, or whatever they call it, because I hadn't spent any time sowing my oats.”
The 57-year-old added, "I was like, 'Oh I can sow my oats now, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to sow oats.'" However, it didn’t go as per plan, as the artist admitted, "There was not one oat that would be sowed." The 'Beginning is Now' founder says, "I literally got, like, rejected.… People were like, 'No, we're not going to do that.' I was like, 'Oh, okay.'" Shields thinks laughter has kept her marriage going, “[He is] "good at leveling me." She jokes, "Every time I finish with my therapist, Chris is like, 'Are you fixed? You're good? We're good?' "
