Shields lives with her husband and two children in Manhattan. The multi-talented actress' city home was featured in the Architectural Digest. Apart from making movies, and designing jewellery, Shields is "a passionate homebody".
Apparently, shields had looked long and hard, before she found the Manhattan brownstone home.
Excerpt from the Architectural Digest:
"About four years ago she was shown a derelict (though landmarked) four-family brick house built around 1910, with a ramshackle '60s addition. "It needed a complete gut," she says, "but after a quick walk-through, I could see our future there. "My bathtub in a niche by a window. Our daughters' playroom on the top floor. A light-flooded, parlor-floor kitchen with a big hearth and a balcony. That kind of instant certainty is rare for me-I'm a Gemini-but for once, I was sure."
