A Family Legacy of Talent and Love
Christie Brinkley isn’t just any mom—she’s a legendary supermodel. And Alexa, her 33-year-old daughter, is the product of her marriage to none other than music icon Billy Joel. The couple tied the knot in 1985 and shared 9 years of marriage before parting ways in 1994. But their love for their daughter has only grown stronger over the years.
Christie’s family doesn’t stop there. She’s also the proud mom of Jack, 24, whom she welcomed with ex Richard Taubman, and Sailor, 21, born during her marriage to Peter Cook. Each child carries a piece of Christie’s vibrant spirit, and Alexa’s performance is a testament to the incredible talent that runs in the family.

While some might assume her career was handed to her, Alexa insists that couldn’t be further from the truth. “I worked a long time to get good at what I’m doing,” she explained. “Nobody handed me a recording contract because of who my father is.” Alexa has earned every bit of her success, and her fans can’t get enough of her soulful performances.
Her admiration for her father is clear. “He has a way of making every song sound classic and iconic because it’s really very melody-driven,” she said. “That’s what I’m all about—old school.” Even her younger sister Sailor is excited about the potential duet, proving that this family truly supports one another through thick and thin.
