“They keep you young.”
JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER
Della’s birthday came just weeks before Billy finished his historic residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Billy Joel’s Marriage Story
Over the years, Billy Joel has been married several times. Here’s a look at all the times he walked down the aisle:
Billy was first married to Elizabeth Weber Small in 1973. The two were married for nearly a decade before divorcing on July 20, 1982.
Billy moved on with Christie Brinkley when they got married in March 1985. During their marriage, Christie gave birth to their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel. The former couple unfortunately divorced on August 26, 1994.
A decade later, the Viennese singer married Katie Lee in 2004. However, the marriage only lasted five years as the two divorced on June 17, 2009.
Six years later, Billy married his current wife, Alexis Roderick, for the fourth time. The pair welcomed their daughters, Della Rose and Remy Anne.
As the Piano Man singer performed in front of thousands of fans, the 74-year-old revealed that Della developed the musical gene.
His two daughters joined him on stage, and while Remy sat at the piano and greeted the crowd, Della naturally took over the microphone.
The girl, now nine years old, sang her father’s hit My Life while acting out some of the lyrics.
At the end of the song, Della said, “Thank you, Madison Square Garden!”
Billy, moved by his daughter’s talent, joked: “I think it’s her life now!”
