"Some highlights of 2023… what a year!!! So much to be thankful for," Brooke captioned the post on Instagram, which included a snap of her with daughter Rowen in a swimming pool, with the two looking like identical twins.

The last 12 months also saw Brooke reveal that she had been rushed to hospital in September after suffering a grand mal seizure – and that she was joined by Bradley Cooper during the ordeal.
Speaking to Glamour for their US Woman of the Year issue, Brooke recounted that she was at famed NYC restaurant L'Artusi when "everything started to go black".

When she came to, she was on oxygen and had been joined by Hollywood A-lister Bradley Cooper, who was called by an assistant after staff were unable to get hold of Brooke's husband, Chris Henchy.

Grier and Rowan, 17 and 20 respectively, looked incredibly tall as they stood next to their mom who reportedly stands at a statuesque six foot herself. Rowan often keeps a low profile as she attends Wake Forest University where she is a member of the sorority group Chi Omega.

Speaking on Live with Kelly and Mark, the actress said: “I fought it for so long, and it’s such a different industry than what it was.”
But she decided to let Grier have a shot in the industry on the condition that Brooke would be her manager, and that the teen would sign with an agency.
Brooke also revealed the advice she gave to Grier: "You’re going to have a great work ethic, it’s not going to be comfortable, and you’re going to listen to me."
