Brooke Shields and her past relationships
One knows Brooke Shields from her several memorable roles, especially in Pretty Baby and Blue Laguna. She has been facing the camera since she was just 11 months old. At that time, she was featured in an ad for Ivory soap.

Often, Brooke was spotted with her co-star, Scott Baio. But later, both admitted that they were just friends. Their dating was a publicity stunt. Later, her mother Teri made her match with John Travolta who was 11 years older than her. Though the relationship was platonic, the two did have an affection for each other.
Later, Brooke was linked to Michael Jackson. Of him, she said:
“We just felt safe with each other,”
“We watched movies and ate candy and laughed at the craziness around us … We loved each other, but it was not at all romantic.”
But she did establish a romantic relationship with Dean Cain. She lost her virginity to him and the two dated for nearly two years before parting ways. Liam Neeson charmed her and they began dating 3 months after their first meeting. She wrote in her memoir:
“He asked me to marry him without a ring.”

The couple did not share any children. She had purchased a house at that time. And she sold it in March 2022 for USD 7.4 million.
