The last photo uploaded in the carousel of photos featured a black and white photo of Brooke placing a gentle kiss on her daughter, Grier’s, 17, right cheek.

The photo was from last year’s Victoria’s Secret Mother’s Day campaign for which the two had posed together.

In the tribute’s caption, the star wrote to her 1.8 million fans: “Happy Mother’s Day. think of my mother a little extra today… and be eternally grateful for my girls who gave me the best job I could wish for: being a mother.”

Brooke shares her daughters with husband, Chris Henchy, to whom she tied the knot in 2001. She was previously married to Andre Agassi from 1997 until their divorce was finalized in 1999.

While talking to People last April, the star explained that her mother’s “whole world revolved around her” as she grew up. However, she emphasized that her parenting style is a bit different.

‘I’m grateful for that [my mom] really supported me in college when I was homesick and said, “You don’t give up, don’t give up, you’ll never forgive yourself,” Brooke recalls. “But I saw how she slowly didn’t know who she was without me.”

The mother-of-two added: “I want my daughters to know that I am completely myself, I am not their responsibility.”

The Mother’s Day post comes shortly after Shields opened up about the rocky relationship she had with her mom, Teri, and her becoming a child star, in the documentary titled Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.

The two-part special aired on Hulu last month on April 3 and quickly became ABC News’ most-watched program to debut on the streaming site, per Variety.

Brooke previously spoke out about her late mother’s addiction to alcohol, leading her to stage an intervention when she was 13, and has also criticized Teri for allowing her to take nude photos for Playboy when she was just 10 years old.

In April, the actress and model came by The Drew Barrymore Show to promote her documentary, and to talk about the relationship she had with Teri Shields growing up.

Barrymore asked Shields if her mother Teri had dated one of her partners – as Barrymore’s own mother had.

“No, because she was in love with me,” Shields claimed — adding that her mother had no interest in men as she ran her daughter’s career. She added, “I was her main focus. We were both cut off from our sexuality.’

Barrymore then shared her own experience of a time when her mother tried to date Jaid with her boyfriend.

She said, “My mom was so in love with me she wanted to be with the people I was with,” to which Shields replied, “I get it.” It’s so needy and weird,” adding that her mother accompanied her to every interview she had when she was younger.”

Shields said, “Nobody’s gonna get you. I’ll be there. I’ll be there first. You’re mine. I’m not going to give you to anyone. Under the guise of protection, but it was more possession and fear.’

But at the time, Shields didn’t mind how her mother acted, as she associated the work she did with being able to buy “stuff” for her mother.

“I made a movie and we have a car. All I knew was to keep my mom alive, keep dancing and get things,” she recalls. ‘But not to come off angry or jaded… that’s in your character. It’s in my character.’

At age 11, Brooke starred in the 1978 movie Pretty Baby, playing the part of a “preteen girl who lives as a prostitute in 1917 New Orleans,” according to a IMDB synopsis.

While talking to magazine Sunday Timesthe actress recalled her oldest daughter, Rowan, wondering if she would have ever allowed her two children at age 11 to star in Pretty Baby.

“That was hard for me, not to justify my mother to them, but when they asked about it, I thought, ‘Oh God, I have to admit this.’ But I don’t know why she thought it was okay,” she explained.

Shields also elaborated on how her mother made her pose nude for Playboy when she was 10, admitting, “I don’t know why she thought it was okay. Don’t know.’
