Billy Joel Is a Bachelor Again
17-Jun-2009

Billy Joel splits up with his third wife, Katie.
Listen up Christie Brinkley, wherever you are. Billy Joel is single again.
According to Extra, Billy Joel, 60, and his third wife, Katie Lee Joel, 27, have separated.
“After nearly five years of marriage, Billy Joel and Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate,” the couple said in a statement, according to the Huffington Post. “This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy & Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other.”
Joel, the world renowned musician behind such classic songs as “Piano Man” and “Only the Good Die Young,” married Katie Lee, a television food critic, back in 2004.
Reuters reports that he was previously married to supermodel Christie Brinkley, with whom he has one daughter, and to his business manager, Elizabeth Weber Small.
For now, it seems that Joel’s divorce is much less messy than Brinkley’s recent divorce from Peter Cook, a public sex fiend.
Brinkley and Joel have remained close over the years, partly because of their daughter. Perhaps now they will consider getting back together. Who knows?
