Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley in 1983

Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley surprised everyone with their relationship, considering the oddness of the couple. It’s funny how love works. No one in the industry or their fans had imagined that these two would end up together, but they did. The pair spent nine years together and were happily married for most of that time. Eventually, Billy’s busy schedule distanced the duo, and they filed for divorce in 1994.

However, that did not stagger their friendship, as they continued to stay close friends and would often meet over holidays to enjoy some well-spent time together. Joel and Brinkley clearly still feel the love, if only as friends.
