After supporting her mother Christie Brinkley through a difficult divorce last year, Alexa Ray Joel is now lending support to her father, Billy Joel, who is separating from his wife of five years, Katie Lee Joel. Alexa Ray told Us Weekly she “wasn’t surprised” when her father told her about the split.
‘I have a pretty good women’s intuition, so I can tell,’ she said. ‘I know my dad pretty well, so I’m behind him.’ “
So after seeing her parents struggle with marriages, what are Alexa Ray’s thoughts on marriage for herself?
‘I am a true romantic – I would love to get married,’ Alexa Ray told Us. ‘The government doesn’t necessarily have to get involved. You can just
celebrate your life and have a wedding and have it big and fabulous and
not necessarily complicated, with the papers and all that. Having seen
what I’ve seen, I’ll be skeptical, sure, but I will be having a
wedding.’ “
Given what she’s seen her parents go through, I’m not surprised Alexa Ray has this outlook!
What do you think: is the legal institution of marriage still important?

I meant prettier without the S.
I think a legal constitution should only be utilized after both parties in the relationship have lived together, experienced each other, grown from each other and have learned to love each other unconditionally through the good and the bad that each day brings. In today’s society so many ppl jump into a marriage without understanding what a commitment to someone truly entails and this I believe is a reason so many marriages end in divorce.
P.S. She has really grown into a very pretty lady.
who is this?—em’s
Alexa Ray is gorgeous!
Daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley
Uhm – not a celebrity; not worth posting about. Just because she’s some famous person’s child doesn’t mean sh*t. It’s like posting about all those celebrity babies. It needs to stop. =^_^=
Yes, marriage is important. It’s not “just a piece of paper”. No one ever makes the same argument about a birth or death certificate.
she is pretty
my goodness, she has grown up to be a lovely young lady!
Meh. I cannot believe Christie Brinkley is this girl’s mother.
Very well put. Marriage IS important… My hubby is my best friend and I just love knowing he’s there for me no matter what… just hopefully everyone can enjoy it one day.
I don’t think a wedding has anything to do with a marriage, other than it’s the official beginning of it. She still has some growing up to do.
YOU ARE AWFUL. SOMEBODY SHOULD PUT OVEN MITS ON YOUR TO KEEP YOU FROM TYPING!!!

i think she is very pretty. she has an exotic look about her. hot.
She looks so cute in that top pic
Doesn’t she? She looks perfect all together and I just love her accessories. Beautiful.
I think shes very pretty.
Yeah, wow, she looks really good.
I agree, I love the top pic.
She’s lovely, isn’t she?
She’s really pretty! I absolutely love her hair.
Nice nose job, seriously.
She’s not bad-looking. She looks more like her dad than her mom which is unfortunate. Meh….
She really has gotten prettiers as she got older.
I agree! she was not cute at all when she was younger. I am wondering about the nose though. it looks a lot better than it used to…
I was wondering the same thing!!! maybe the end of the nose got smoothed out?
Or maybe it’s just better hair and makeup. Whatever it is, she looks lovely! Always felt badly about the fact that people would always compare her to her mother
now that I look at the photos closer, especially the last one, I think I’m gonna retract the statement about the nose job. fairly sure that she still has the same nose. I seriously think it’s just much better makeup and hair, and the eyebrows aren’t nearly so heavy which helps open up her face.
Anyway, she looks great and has a really pretty smile
