"A few months ago I took my daughter to her first movie theatre experience, The Little Mermaid," Brooks wrote in her caption. "The trailer for @thecolorpurple began to play, and I knew I just had to capture this special moment of my daughter seeing her mother on the big screen for the first time."

"You all know I became a puddle of tears. Knowing that I get to leave my daughter something to always be proud of and remember me by is so special to me. So grateful for moments like these. 💜."

"I hope you will come see this film on Christmas Day and create unforgettable moments with your loved ones as well. 💜💜💜," she ended her caption.

In a cover story for Parents' May 2021 issue, Brooks opened up about her experience having a baby, saying that it "really did take a toll on my body and on me mentally," and shared how she approached her well-being now as a working mom.

"I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy, and I think I did go through postpartum depression," said Brooks. "I was trying to stay positive when it felt like my whole world had flipped upside down. Creating a human takes a toll on women's bodies. Sometimes, we don't give ourselves enough love or patience about that."

"You may think you're going to bounce back miraculously, but that's not true for a lot of people. I'm one of them," she continued. "While I want to return to my pre-baby size, at the same time, I want to love this skin that I'm in now."
