BROOKE SHIELDS: I didn't lose my virginity until age 22

My husband Chris and I have been married for 23 years and together for 26, unusual enough in Hollywood for people to wonder why we’ve lasted this long.

Of course, I had a starter marriage that quickly ended. My mom had been a hugely controlling force in my life, and when I married my first husband, [the tennis champion] Andre Agassi, I walked into another controlling, rigid relationship, and for a while I did whatever he said.

One of the reasons I’d married him was that I liked being in a relationship with someone more famous than I was. After a lifetime of always being the focus, it was a relief to be able to slink into the background a bit.
