usmagazine.comStraight out of a romantic comedy! Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy‘s first meeting sounds like something out of a Nora Ephron screenplay — and their relationship has been thriving ever since.The former model and the film producer had a chance encounter in 1999 while Shields was filming the sitcom Suddenly Susan.
During the shoot, the New York native’s dog Darla wandered off, but Henchy — who was at the studio that day working as a writer on a different show — brought her back.“We chatted and he made me laugh,” Shields wrote in her 2005 memoir, Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression. “I left without even knowing his full name, but he made such a strong impression that I called up a friend and told her I had found a guy.”The Lipstick Jungle alum noted that she wasn’t “even considering dating” at the time because she’d recently divorced her first husband, Andre Agassi.
After she started spending time with Henchy, though, she changed her mind. “I was struck by how thoughtful and funny he was,” Shields recalled. “Because he knew my situation, there was no pressure, and we were just friends for quite some time.
