I think Katie Lee is very pretty, but I would have guessed she was older than 27. I can’t believe her and Billie Joel don’t have kids already. Alexa looks alot like Billie, but I do see a bit of her mom’s smile in her.

Wow quite the family! That’s cool that Billy and Katie have been able to make it work so far, no matter their age difference and the fact that Katie’s only 5 yrs older than Alexa. (I think I have seen part of that interview they did, and imho Katie has the maturity level of someone ten years her senior…esp. compared to Britney S.)

I agree with Brooke, Katie does look like a young Ali McGraw!

Anyway, if Billy and Katie have a child together, it’ll no doubt be just as beautiful as Alexa. (BTW is Alexa, so far Billy’s only child?)

Billy and Christie may not have been able to make their marriage work, but they were both committed to staying friends and working together to raise their beautiful daughter. She has a wonderful singing voice, and there is a lot of love for her parents.

I saw Katie on one of the tv shows, too, and she is so down to earth. She does seem very mature for her age. I am glad that Billy is happy, and would love to see him have more kids, as he seems to be a great dad.

Hey Elyse- you echo my thoughts at 10 years apart! This makes me feels like its nothing!!

Alexa is beautiful and looks just like Billy. What a striking young lady. And, to be honest, Katie looks more like her mother than Christie Brinkley does! She looks much older to me than 27 … but they are both just lovely. Billy must be very proud of his girls.

I think it’s odd that Billy Joel married someone SO young. Katie was only 23 when they got married and he was 54. My dad is that age now and I think I would be really bugged that he was with someone over 30 years younger than him who was only 23 at the time of their marriage.

Yes, I know this happens all the time (younger women, older men for the most part) and yes, sure, maybe they are great partners for each other and age isn’t an issue for them and their happiness is the only thing that is important…

but, well, honestly, it just skeeves me out a bit whenever I see SUCH a large age-gap where the younger partner is only in his/her early 20s at the time of their marriage. It’s great that Alexa and Katie are such great friends and that everyone in their family is cool with it though I guess. Such is life. More power to them I suppose for doing what makes them happy and not caring what anyone else thinks!

i’ve read interviews with alexa before and she comes off as very down to earth and caring.
christie and billy must have done something right as parents to raise such a beautiful daughter.

I remember some very hurtful remarks made about her several months ago in the press about her looks. She looks beautiful to me but did she steal Britney’s boots?

Wow! Both ladies look great. Alexa may have her daddy’s eyes and hair color, but that nose and mega-watt grin are all Brinkley!! What a beauty.

Seeing this couple makes me not feel so bad about the 12 year age difference between me and my boyfriend!
