Brooke Shields has said that when her husband is away her daughters still sleep in the same bed as her.
In the past she's said that her relationship with her own mother was made somewhat difficult as Shields said her mum was 'needy' and 'in love with me'.
She was speaking to Drew Barrymore, who opened up about her own relationship with her mother during an interview.
"No one's going to get you. I'm going to be there. I'm there first. You're mine. I'm not going to give you to somebody," Shields said was her mother's perspective on their relationship.

"Under the guise of protection, but it was more ownership and fear."
However, she did say she was able to 'emerge from it not angry or jaded'.
Now The Blue Lagoon star has been on The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM and been discussing the close relationship she has with her own children.
During her time on the show she discussed the possibility of empty nest syndrome as her daughters Rowan, 20, and Grier, 18, would both be going to college after the summer was over.

She said: "Yeah, I've been avoiding thinking of it because people will say to me, 'Oh, you're gonna be so relieved,' and I just don't see it happening.
"I don't see it happening. I was like, 'Well, they're still gonna come back,' and by the way, the cost of just living in this city is so prohibitive anyways that it may work in my favour.
"Maybe I'll start charging them rent though. That might be a good idea."
She also talked about the close bond she had with her children as the 58-year-old revealed that when husband Chris Henchy is away her kids would often come and sleep in the bed with her.

"You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me," she explained.
"We still watch rom-coms. They're my babies and they will never not be."
Shields had previously been married to tennis player Andre Aggasi, and following their divorce in 1999 she married writer Henchy in 2001.
The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2003 and their second in 2006.
By the way, since we mentioned Drew Barrymore earlier she once wrote up a 'sex list', only to accidentally leave it at Danny DeVito's house.

Gentleman that he is, he promised never to tell, though he did joke about including a copy of the list in his autobiography.
