Celebrities are people, too. So when they send their kids off to college, it’s no different than the rest of us. They tear up, and sometimes, that’s the mild version.

Such was the case for actress Brooke Shields, who revealed on Instagram a rather teary-eyed college sendoff for her daughter. You can definitely see her pain.

“So, I just waved my daughter goodbye again. And I thought it would be easier the second time,” Shields said. “She’s already been away and she’s been with me all summer.”

Shields’ daughter, Rowan, attends Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Previously, Shields had made the 12-hour drive from the Hamptons to Wake Forest with her husband and Rowan. This time, Rowan took the car — a maroon 1983 Mercedes SEC that she received as a graduation present.

Shields previously discussed Rowan’s first time away at school during an appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan.

“Worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,” Shields joked. “You want them to be happy… but really you don’t want them to be happy.

“You know, she’s thriving, and it’s so great. But you just sit there going, ‘For the last 18 years, she’s been in my house. And she’s not in my house anymore.’”

Last year around the same time she also opened up about sending off her daughter to school for the first time as a Freshman. She posted a video of the drive home showing the open road then turned the camera to reveal herself crying.

“This was the saddest drive away from anywhere I’ve ever had to make,” she wrote at the time. “But my baby is BEGINNING one of the most important adventures of her life to date…NOW!”

Celebrities…they are just like us!
