How many children does Billy Joel have?
Answer
Three
How many children does Billy Joel have? Three. His children are Alexa Ray Joel, born in 1985 to Joel and model Christie Brinkley; Della Rose Joel, born in 2015; and Remy Anne Joel, born in 2017. The three children come from two of Joel’s marriages.
Alexa Ray is Joel’s eldest daughter and became a singer and songwriter herself. Her middle name honors Ray Charles, one of her father’s musical idols. Joel and Brinkley divorced in 1994 but have remained publicly friendly and involved in Alexa Ray’s life.
Joel later married equestrian Alexis Roderick in 2015. They have two daughters, Della Rose and Remy Anne. A common source of confusion is counting only Alexa Ray, because she is the best-known of Joel’s children, or confusing Joel’s family with the children of people close to him, such as Christie Brinkley’s other children. The accepted current total is three.
