… as far as marriage is concerned. Christie Brinkley has been married four times, and after the last marriage ended in a headline-making divorce from Peter Cook (who reportedly had an affair with his then-18-year-old assistant), Christie has declared she will not get married againin her interview with Ladies Home Journal.
‘I would never get married again,’ she says firmly. ‘With what I know I
don’t see why anyone would get married.’ Which is not to say she is not
a romantic. ‘I totally believe in true love. And I think couples should
celebrate their love over and over again.’ But, she adds, they needn’t
formalize it. ‘In fact, right at the beginning of a relationship, I
would formalize an exit strategy.’ "
Given what she’s been through, I can understand her feelings!
I feel like I should apologize to everybody for them having to read all
of that tawdry stuff, and having it delivered to their kitchen tables
when their kids are around, you know?"
Christie also made it clear in the interview that she did not chose to have the divorce publicized. She said in New York, divorce cases are public proceedings.
Do you agree with Christie’s opinions about marriage, at least about the idea of "formalizing an exit strategy"?
You can read Christie’s entire interview in the July issue of Ladies Home Journal!

Did she ever wonder why all those marriages ended?(it could be her fault?)
I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO WAS MARRIED FOUR TIMES, folks!!
(even my brother didn’t)
Christie, stop blaming marriage! Start blaming yourself! But at least she “says” that she will never get married again! Now that is a start! lol
Yes for Christie 4 is more then enough. But I dont think that means everyone should avoid marriage. Some people have good matches and others end in disaster. If I am having a bad day at work and everyone is being agressive towards me then I step back and think, Hey now all these people cant be angry at one time so it must be me doing something to them. Maybe if she was truthful to herself she would see its never only one persons fault.
I don’t know anyone who looks as good as Christie at 55 – she’s so stunning and beautiful!! I agree about the marriage – enough is enough.
she is timeless. such a beautiful woman. a friend of the family is a friend of hers and she says she stays so young partly by eating healthy, organic and nothing with refined sugar and always seems to be positive and happy.
She is easily one of the most beautiful women ever. She eats well, exercises and does lots of good for the earth. I am glad to hear that she is over marriage she did not deserve all the shit she went through with the last prick. And I think Alexa looks REALLY pretty in that picture.
Wasn’t her marriage to Billy Joel pretty successful? They’re still friends right?
If her marriage to Billy Joel was so successful, why are they divorced?
I agree with her statements about marriage. I think it’s unrealistic to be with the same person forever. If it works out that way, fantastic. I see too many people who have been married for decades and are trapped in loveless marriages. What’s the point?
I think that it is “enough” for Christie because she has a real issue with picking out quality men! So she should only speak for herself! It has nothing to do with marriage being bad or having an exit strategy; but more to do with some woman having no ability to spot and pick out quality men! Sure, it is not her fault that her last husband cheated on her, but I am sure that there were signs that showed that he was a jerk way before they got married! She has that sunny “oh, the world is soooooooo amazing” personality that lends itself to falling head over heals in love with a man without thinking about it! Every interview consists of her sunny, life is just sooooooooo amazing personality. I don’t she thinks anything through, but just jumps head into situations. I always wondered how her and Billy Joel hooked up. He is so cynical and not a sunny type and she is such the opposite.
Has nothing to do with marriage itself. It’s the people involved in it. How come there are people staying married for 50 years?
I totally agree with you. When it works, it works. When it doesn’t, you shouldn’t get married in the first place.
She has horrible taste in men. So yes she should stay single.
