Brooke Shields and Daughter Rowan Shared the Screen in ‘When Calls the Heart’
HallmarkShields, who has built a cherished history with Hallmark through her beloved “Flower Shop Mystery” series, made her long-awaited return to the network’s hit drama “When Calls the Heart” for Season 13.

Brooke Shields Opens Up About Motherhood — and the Words She Said to Rowan Are Everything
The night was more than just a fashion moment. One day before the premiere, Shields and Rowan sat down together for a segment on Extra, with Rowan taking on the role of interviewer.
“We are celebrating Mother’s Day in a very special way. I was able to get an exclusive interview — I don’t know how I did it, pulled some strings, made some calls — with the Hollywood icon, brow expert and professional nagger, my mom, Brooke Shields,” Rowan said playfully to kick things off.
Shields wasn’t about to let that one slide.
“Nagger? No, I encourage,” she fired back with a laugh.
Shields opened up about what motherhood has truly meant to her, looking directly at her daughter as she spoke.
“My life became fully, fully real,” Shields told Rowan, reflecting on the day she was born. “You make me the happiest being a mother. I’m just so proud of who you are.”
For Shields, the relationship with her daughters has evolved into something she clearly treasures deeply. In a 2024 conversation with People, she described the experience of watching Rowan and her younger sister, Grier Hammond, 20, come into their own as nothing short of awe-inspiring.
“All of a sudden, they’re not yours,” she said.
Getty“When you realize they are their own human beings, you get to meet them again. To have them reveal themselves to you, it’s a new type of relationship. I didn’t mold them but I protected them enough so that they could become who they are and I got out of the way.”
