Brooke Shields is getting fat: 'So, what?'

The actress has gained 10 pounds in the past four months, and is “adamant that she couldn’t care less” about it!

Brooke’s ongoing issues related to her knees have “put a stop to all workout routines,” a source said.

“She’s almost 50 now and her focus is on being a mom and staying healthy, not being this super skinny supermodel/actress”, the source said.

“She’s a very smart, independent and practical woman”.

Shields was last seen in public at New York’s Fashion Week in January, for Dennis Basso’s show.

Brooke Shields has previously admitted she is feeling increasingly under pressure to look perfect as she grows older.

“In Hollywood, it’s an unfortunate thing but looks are very important”, says Brooke. “How you look is what precedes everything so it does play a part in my work. In order to compete you have to be your best".

“It’s unfortunate that we focus on that, but it’s just a reality. So I have to be in shape. I have to get teams of hair and makeup people to spend two hours to make me look natural.”
