Brooke Shields Awaits a New Daughter

In an interview with People magazine, the star confirmed the news.  "I wasn’t sure I was going to make this public," says Shields, whose daughter Rowan is 2. But, she said, "I’m thrilled for my daughter to have a little friend."

The 40 year-old actress suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her daughter, Rowan.  She wrote a book on the subject, Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression, which was a best-seller.
