Model Christie Brinkley, Husband No. 4 Split
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
Supermodel Christie Brinkley and her fourth husband, Peter Cooke, have separated, her publicist said Tuesday.
"Yes, it's true. The couple has separated," publicist Elliot Mintz said in a statement.
Cooke and Brinkley married in 1996 and have a daughter.
Brinkley, 52, was previously married to Frenchman Jean-François Allaux, singer Billy Joel and developer Richard Taubman.
She and Joel have a daughter, and she and Taubman have a son.
"Her immediate concern is for her children, and she's hoping during this obviously difficult time that people will be kind enough to respect her privacy," Mintz said.
