Actress is expecting her second child with TV writer Chris Henchy; her first motherhood experience has led her to the much-publicized battle with postpartum depression.
Actress Brooke Shields is expecting her second child with TV writer Chris Henchy, her publicist said on Thursday.
Brooke Shields, now starring in a Broadway production of the hit musical "Chicago," is due to give birth sometime in the spring of 2006, her spokeswoman's office said.
In 1980, Brooke Shields created quite a stir appearing in ads for Calvin Klein jeans, which carried the tag line "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins."
In 2003, Brooke Shields gave birth to her first child, daughter Rowan Francis. Her first experience as a mother led to her book about postpartum depression called "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression."
In her book, Brooke Shields chronicled her own post-natal emotional difficulties, revealing taking anti-depressants for treatment of extreme despair and suicidal thoughts. For that, movie star Tom Cruise later criticized Brooke Shields publicly in explaining his own skepticism about psychiatry.
"I wasn't thrilled to be taking drugs. In fact, I prematurely stopped taking them... But the drugs, along with weekly therapy sessions, are what saved me - and my family," she wrote.
Brooke Shields, who previously wed tennis star Andre Agassi, married Henchy in 2001.
