Billy Joel has been married four times. His marriages were to Elizabeth Weber Small, Christie Brinkley, Katie Lee, and Alexis Roderick, whom he married in 2015. The count refers to four separate legal marriages, not the number of children or long-term relationships he has had.
Joel married Elizabeth Weber in 1973, and they divorced in 1982. He married model Christie Brinkley in 1985; they had one daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, before divorcing in 1994. In 2004, he married chef and television personality Katie Lee, but they separated in 2009 and later divorced.
Joel’s fourth marriage was to Alexis Roderick on July 4, 2015, at his estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island. They have two daughters, Della Rose and Remy Anne. A frequent quiz mistake is counting only marriages that produced children: that would omit Weber and Lee. Another is treating a separation as a marriage ending immediately; the standard biographical count is based on the four marriages Joel entered into.
