All About Donna Mills’ Daughter, Chloe Mills

When actress Donna Mills decided it was time to become a mother, she didn’t let preconceived notions about age stand in her way. She was 54 when she adopted her daughter Chloe Mills, then decided to take an extended break from acting to raise her.

“I was very focused on my career, but at a certain point I realized that something was missing — it was a child,” she told PEOPLE in 2022. “So I went after it. I was 54 at the time and people said, ‘You’re going to be so old [to] let the little child run around.’ I never felt it. I never felt older than other mothers who were probably in their 20s.”

Today, mom and daughter are very close; Chloe even accompanies her mom to premieres, and the two are in close communication on a daily basis. “We see each other at least once a week and talk or text every day,” Donna said.

For Landing nodes star, motherhood has been a complete joy. “Being a mother gives you a depth of feeling you didn’t know existed until you held that baby in your arms. And now I feel it every time I see her, every time we hug and laugh and do silly things together,” Donna wrote in an Instagram post dedicated to Chloe on Mother’s Day 2023. “As she told me when she was two, ‘ Mom, our heart veins are connected.’ They are my dear girl and always will be.”

Chloe Nicole Mills was born on September 12, 1994, and was adopted by Donna when she was just 4 days old. “You are the light of my life. So proud of the woman you have become,” Donna wrote on Instagram on Chloe’s 29th birthday, sharing an adorable photo of herself with Chloe as a little girl. “I wish you all the happiness the world has to offer and a life filled with joy and laughter.”

Donna said that achieving her career goals before adopting Chloe made her a better mother.

“I was doing the things I wanted to do. I knew I had a lot to give to a child and I wanted to do that,” she told Tamron Hall. “I was jealous every time I saw a child running to mom and saying, ‘Mom! Mommy!’ I knew my life wouldn’t be complete until I had a child… the longing grew bigger as I got older.”

According to the actress, despite her career and fame, she felt there was a “big hole” in her life – until she adopted Chloe.

“She filled everything I needed. It’s funny because when I started the adoption process it was about nine months from the time I started the process to the time I got her – said Donna. “And I really feel like she’s meant to be with me. She is my daughter. I am her mother.”
