Christie Brinkley continues to ooze ageless beauty and enviable style well into her seventies, as the Sports Illustrated model turned heads at the outlet’s recent issue launch party at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, New York City. She dazzled in a hot red figure-hugging dress with a thigh-high slit that showed off her toned long legs. The actress threw on a pair of white stiletto heels and minimal jewelry as she strutted the red carpet with the exaggerated sleeves drawing in some attention. Brinkley’s hot red lips made the look even better, complemented by her lush blonde hair let down in a side part. She looked gorgeous as she confidently showed off her curves and ever-attractive figure, which has helped her thrive as one of the magazine’s top models in the past decades.

Christie Brinkley met her second husband, Billy Joel, in 1983 at St. Barts airport. For Billy, it was attraction at first sight, as he recalled her being “more beautiful than she was in her pictures.” He was a well-known singer at the time; however, Brinkley hardly recognized him despite trying to jog her memory by posing like one of his album covers. They soon began dating and walked down the aisle in 1985, after which they had their first and only child together—Alexa Ray Joel.

Although reasons for their divorce were kept under wraps, Brinkley reportedly wished to move to California and coupled with Joel’s busy schedule and touring; things could hardly work out for longer. Maintaining a healthy post-divorce relationship, Brinkley often attends her ex-husband’s shows, including a recent one where she danced to his performance of “Uptown Girl.” She famously starred in the music video back in the ‘80s, when their romance began. Alexa has grown into her place in the entertainment industry like her parents and has often shown off her singing talents by performing alongside her dad. She once recalled growing up around music, with Brinkley dressing her up as the character Liesl from Sound Of Music and Joel joining in to sing and play “all day long.” At 15, Alexa had finished songs ready for release, but she didn’t go public with her recordings until her first EP, Sketches, in 2006. Despite growing up with two famous parents, Alexa was oblivious to her privilege and had a fairly normal childhood in Long Island. Christie Brinkley / Instagram Realizing she was a celebrity kid was quite tough for Alexa; however, she has learned to embrace the attention. “It took me a minute— being the daughter of such iconic figures, it took some growing into. You're exposed to the spotlight at such a young age and that, of course, can be challenging…But I made it through,” she once stated. How many children did Christie Brinkley give birth to? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Christie Brinkley (@christiebrinkley) Brinkley is a mother of three. Aside from Alexa, she has one other daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, and a son, Jack Paris Brinkley Cook, from her last two marriages. Jack was born to Brinkley and Richard Taubman in 1995 and was eventually adopted by Peter Cook. Jack is the only private one of Brinkley’s kids and hardly posts on social media; however, he may have a future in acting as he is a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. The Emerson College alumnus admits to sharing a “sense of adventure” and love for the ocean with his mom. Also, Jack has an enterprising side, having created an app called ROVE to help commute to the Hamptons from New York via an affordable 13-seat Mercedes Sprinter van. Not much is known about his recent love life, but he dated model Nina Agdal for four years until their breakup in 2021.

Fans deem Sailor a mini version of Brinkley, especially when they walked together for brands like Elie Tahari during the New York Fashion Week. The “young, spunky, sassy, bold, perfect little sporty model” has also learned about daring from her celebrity mother, as she posed nude for Sports Illustrated’s “In Her Own Words” campaign. She admitted to not feeling weird about going bare, and it felt like she was in a locker room with friends during her shoot. Thanks to Brinkley, Sailor has learned to “be as gracious as you can” and “acknowledge my surroundings” as she progresses in her career. The 25-year-old has also had her share of challenges, such as being compared to her mom and having body image issues in the past. Nonetheless, these have not deterred her from doing what she loves best—posing for cameras.
