Christie Brinkley is through with love, said Helena de Bertodano in the London Telegraph. The former supermodel, 57, has been married four times. “I have to be careful in husbands,” she admits. “Unfortunately, I trust everybody. I just think everybody is great.”
After divorcing her first husband, French artist Jean-François Allaux, she married singer Billy Joel in 1985. At first, the marriage was “a blast,” she says. “We literally never stopped singing the whole time we were together.’’ But the music stopped nearly a decade later, and they divorced in 1994. By then, Brinkley had fallen for Ricky Taubman, a real estate developer who’d been in a helicopter crash with her. “I even named my perfume after husband No. 3: Believe, because I still believed in love.” They lasted only a year.
