Christie Brinkley’s daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, who is a Sports Illustrated model, recently celebrated her 25th birthday. The model shared a series of breathtaking photos on her Instagram to commemorate the significant milestone. Alongside the array of pictures, Sailor shared a heartfelt message applauding her personal growth, both mentally and physically, over the past decade.
“For the first birthday in quite a while, I didn’t catch the birthday blues. I held strongly to the belief in a version of myself that hasn’t come to life yet & gave love to all the past versions that brought me here,” she wrote in the caption. “This year I tried new things, moved through hardships with grace, celebrated my body, nourished my inner child, laughed more, cried less, became friends with the scary parts of my mind, made sure to dance at least twice a week, cherished my friendships, felt peace in my solitude, and found an incredible sense of true independence I’ve never felt before.”
