Billy Joel Says Losing Christie Brinkley ‘Devastated' Him — but He ‘Never Blamed Her'
Billy Joel may have been married more than once, but only one ex-wife has her own theme song. In HBO's new documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, the music legend opens up about his marriage to supermodel Christie Brinkley — and the unraveling that followed. 'It was like being a teenager all over again,' Joel says of falling for Brinkley, whom he met in 1983 while vacationing in St. Barts. 'Experiencing those same emotions that I had when I was first discovering romance and love.' More from SheKnows A Fellow Legend Slammed Billy Joel's Sobriety Journey - He Still Feels the Sting They were married by 1985, welcomed daughter Alexa Ray that same year, and for a while, it really was the fantasy. 'Here I am dating this beautiful supermodel and… me? I'm from Hicksville,' Joel says in the doc. 'What am I doing with her? What's she doing with me?' Still, he calls that time 'very productive,' crediting Brinkley as a muse: 'I wrote a lot of songs for her.' But by the end of the decade, Joel's life on the road — and mounting personal struggles — took a toll. Brinkley describes that period as Joel 'boomeranging between being a family man and tortured artist,' often disappearing to drink while his life 'unraveled.' His 1989 song 'I Go to Extremes' wasn't subtle about it, and neither was she: 'Booze was the other woman,' Brinkley wrote in her 2025 memoir Uptown Girl. 'And it was beginning to seem that he preferred to be with her rather than me.' Joel, who also dealt with betrayal from his longtime manager Frank Weber during that time, doesn't deny how hard it got. He filed a $90 million lawsuit over Weber's alleged fraud and spent years touring to recoup the loss — all while drifting further from home. 'It devastated me,' Joel says of the divorce. 'But I never blamed her.' Despite it all, the pair have stayed close. In April 2024, Joel serenaded Brinkley with 'Uptown Girl' at Madison Square Garden. And when he paused touring due to health issues in 2025, Brinkley posted a warm tribute on behalf of their whole family. She once said, 'How close we can be depends on who he's married to.' But no matter the chapter, the love — and the song — still of SheKnows Actors Who You Forgot Have Impressive Singing Careers Too All About Conor Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s Private Son Who Was Once Linked to Taylor Swift 16 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened Solve the daily Crossword

Billy Joel Says Elton John's Rehab Comments Were ‘Rock Bottom' For Him in HBO Documentary: ‘There Was Bad Blood For a Little While'
Billy Joel is opening up about a tough moment with longtime friend and tourmate Elton John. In the second part of the new two-part HBO Documentary, 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' the 'New York State of Mind' singer shared how John's public comments that he needed rehab strained their friendship. More from Variety HBO Doc 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Candidly Examines Singer's Struggles with Money, Alcohol, and Critics 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Review: The Tribeca Festival Opens with a Luscious Longform Documentary That Captures Just the Way He Is 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Directors Share Inspirational Message From Ailing Singer: 'He Will Be Back' 'Elton had made a comment that he thought I needed real rehab,' Joel said in the film, referencing an interview he did with 'Rolling Stone' in 2011. 'He chalked it up to, 'Oh, he's a drunk.' And that really hurt me.' He added, 'I said, wait a minute? Don't you know me better than that? And there was bad blood for a little while. There was a dovetailing of things that happened during that time.' Joel and John first co-headlined a stadium together in 1994 during their 'Face to Face' tour. In the first part of the documentary, Joel admitted that he once 'resented' the comparisons to the 'Your Song' singer but eventually grew to embrace it as they continued to perform onstage together. According to People, John told Rolling Stone that they had 'so many cancelled tours because of illnesses and various other things, alcoholism' coming off their joint tour in 2010. John said of Joel in the film, 'He's going to hate me for this, but every time he goes to rehab, they've been light… I love you, Billy, and this is tough love.' In 2005, Joel went to rehab at the Betty Ford Center after his then-wife Katie Lee issued an 'ultimatum.' The couple divorced in 2009. After rehab, the 'Piano Man' singer took a break from the spotlight and stopped touring. In the documentary, Joel described John's comments as making him feel 'clobbered' and noted it was 'rock bottom' for him. 'I was disillusioned with what I thought it was all supposed to mean,' he said. 'It was like all the signs were pointing to me: Enough. And I wrote this letter to the band. 'I don't want to do this anymore. I'm gonna stop.' The second part of 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' premiered on Friday, July 25.
