Christie Brinkley may be one of Billy Joel's several ex-wives, but she is his only 'Uptown Girl.' The supermodel, 70, was spotted at Joel's concert in New York City on Friday. In video obtained by Fox News Digital, Brinkley looked elated as she swayed back and forth to 'Uptown Girl,' a song Joel wrote about her in 1983. She was broadcast on the jumbotron for the whole crowd to see. Another angle of the moment, captured and shared on TikTok, shows Brinkley singing along.
Pictures show Joel seemingly singing passionately to Brinkley. WATCH: BILLY JOEL SERENADES CHRISTIE BRINKLEY WITH ‘UPTOWN GIRL’ Although the couple divorced in 1994, the two have remained friends. They share a daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, who also performed on Friday at Joel's concert. The 'Piano Man' singer is finishing up his residency at Madison Square Garden, which began in Jan. 2014 and will end in July 2024.
That's why I started writing a song called ‘Uptown Girls’. It was plural. I couldn't believe, you know, the situation I was in,' he said of having a bevy of beauties near him. Joel, 74, said when he and Macpherson went their separate ways, the nature of the song changed because of his relationship with Brinkley. 'And then I started dating Christie and rather than it about all these different girls, she became the ‘Uptown Girl.’ I started writing it about one person.'
