  • Christie Brinkley Proud as Son and Daughter Follow Her Famous Footsteps into Modeling World

    Christie Brinkley is no doubt very proud, as her two younger children, Jack and Sailor Brinkley-Cook, are featured in the November issue of Town & Country magazine. The gorgeous duo–Sailor is 17, Jack is 20–have big shoes to fill. After all, Christie Brinkley is still a star at 61–and she’s dating a rock star, too. Brinkley and rocker John Mellencamp have been dating for a couple of months now, and are frequently spotting out on the town in New York City.

    Within the pages of this most recent issue of Town & Country, Brinkley’s kids also dish on being brought up by one of the most famous super models ever.

    “The best part of my childhood was how normal it was,” Sailor Brinkley-Cook says, “given my circumstances.”

    Though watching her parents’ bitter divorce play out on the pages of the New York Post isn’t necessarily conducive to a happy childhood experience, Brinkley-Cook says life with her mother Christie Brinkley, on a 20-acre estate in Bridgehampton, as “balanced.”

    “My dad [architect Peter Cook] understands reality, and my mom, fantasy,” she says.

    Jack Brinkley-Cook has set his sights on acting, but models in the meantime. He performed in plays while at the Ross School in East Hampton, then graduated from a conservatory program at New York City’s Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. He even recently did a short film. For now, however, he auditions and waits.

    “The most terrifying thing is the desire to establish a career as an actor,” he says, dropping the name of fellow Strasberg alum Miles Teller (Divergent, Whiplash) as an inspiration. “It’s an extremely competitive and challenging industry to conquer.”

    Since Sailor wants to model, she has the best resource available–right in her own home.

    “It can be hard to be up-and-coming and constantly compared to an icon,” she says, insisting she doesn’t plan to inherit her success, but to work for it instead. “Right now I’m focusing on working hard in school and getting into college.”

    Sailor and Jack often do photo shoots together, posting the shots on Instagram.

    Christie Brinkley’s older daughter from her marriage to Billy Joel–Alexa Ray Joel–is a great support to both her siblings, but most especially to Jack.

    “If I ever have anything I need to talk about or get over, Alexa is my go-to,” he says.

    Jack frequently attends Alexa’s Café Caryle performances, cheering her on from the audience.

    What do you think of Jack and Sailor Brinkley-Cook’s latest fashion spread? Are they about to take the fashion modeling world by storm–in true Christie Brinkley fashion?

  • Christie Brinkley: Is She Dating Meg Ryan’s Ex, John Mellencamp?

    Christie Brinkley and John Mellecamp have been spotted out on a dinner date together, prompting guesses that she and Meg Ryan’s ex-boyfriend are an item.

    If there is more truth than rumor to this, it will mark the first time Christie Brinkley has dated anyone since her split from ex-husband Peter Cook.

    “Most of the time, I’ve got my kids with me, so I’m not as prone to meeting people,” she said back in 2010. “And then, you never really know if someone is talking to you because you’re a celebrity. It’s not my number one priority.”

    John Mellencamp dated Meg Ryan for more than three years. Although the couple split up just over a year ago, they are still very close friends.

    Christie Brinkley is mom to three children. Alexa Ray Joel is her daughter with ex-husband Billy Joel. She is also mom to Jack and Sailor Brinkley Cook.

    It was Monday evening when Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp were seen leaving New York’s Bowery Hotel, after spending just over an hour inside having dinner.

    Brinkley looked happy. She was dressed casually–wearing jeans and sneakers, along with a bright blue scarf. Mellencamp walked out just behind her.

    Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp left shortly thereafter in his chauffeur-driven car.

    What do you make of this unlikely pair? Do you suppose Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp are really dating?

  • Sailor Brinkley Cook Follows in Mom Christie Brinkley’s Famous Footsteps

    Sailor Brinkley Cook is a chip of the old block–that of mom Christie Brinkley. Following in her famous mom’s footsteps as a model, Sailor appears in the September issue of Seventeen magazine.

    Within the magazine’s pages, Sailor Brinkley Cook dishes about her mom, and how she has always wanted to be just like her.

    “My mom is a model, so it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I started when I was 14!” she explained.

    Sailor Brinkley, at 17, is talking college, too, and she already has a place and a major in mind.

    “Parsons! I want to study photography there,” she says.

    In a recent interview with E! News, Sailor Brinkley Cook shared some advice her mother gave her on working in the modeling industry.

    “Her main beauty secret is to smile a lot because she wants to exude positive energy and happiness in the modeling industry,” she said. “She always has [smiled] throughout her whole career—which has been a large one—so I sort of aspire to be that type of person too.”

    Having learned from the best, Sailor Brinkley Cook will no doubt make it big in the modeling industry. In addition to all the advice proffered by Christie Brinkley serving as a huge plus, she is also graced with her mom’s gorgeous blonde locks, huge smile, and svelte physique.

    Christie Brinkley is also mom to son Jack Brinkley Cook, who is 20, and Alexa Ray Joel–her daughter with singer Billy Joel.

    Do you expect Sailor will be as successful as Christie Brinkley?

  • Christie Brinkley Enjoys Italian Vacation With Alexa Ray Joel, Jack and Sailor Brinkley-Cook

    Christie Brinkley isn’t just drop-dead gorgeous herself–she has gorgeous kids, too. She shared some photos of herself with her fine looking offspring in recent days, as they all enjoyed an Italian vacation together.

    Daughter Alexa Ray Joel has certainly grown into a beauty, and is the only dark-haired of Christie Brinkley’s three children. Both Jack Brinkley-Cook, who is 20, and younger sister Sailor Brinkley-Cook, who is 17, are blonde just like their famous mom.

    As the family floated around on a yacht near some islands off the coast of Italy, Christie Brinkley captured the vacation on her Instagram account.

    “Climbing up to see the Saint in the Grotta Bianchi in honor of our beloved Poppy. #14July #3yearstoday Don Brinkley,” Christie Brinkley captioned this photo of all four of them.

    Brinkley captioned this shot–a selfie with son Jack in the background, “Loving Living La Dolce Vita.. I Faraglione , Capri. Inspired by #fredericofellini.”

    “What a backdrop !!!” Christie Brinkley said of this shot of Alexa Ray Joel and Jack Brinkley-Cook.

    “The Muse, Alexa Ray “decked out” for drinks onshore,” Brinkley wrote of the daughter she shares with Billy Joel.

    Why hasn’t this guy broken into the modeling industry? With a mom like Christie Brinkley, one would think Jack Brinkley-Cook, with his amazing good looks, would follow in his mother’s footsteps.

    Christie Brinkley shared dozens of beautiful pictures taken in Italy on her Instagram account. It’s obvious that while the Italian backdrop may be gorgeous, Christie Brinkley’s gorgeous kids give even beautiful landmarks a run for their money.

  • Christie Brinkley: Sexy in Bikini at Almost 61

    Christie Brinkley will turn 61 in February, and the former supermodel still looks sexy in a bikini. The former Sports Illustrated cover girl is vacationing in the Turks and Caicos, where she celebrated daughter Alexa Ray Joel’s (her daughter with Billy Joel) just a few days ago.

    Brinkley shared some of her fun with her followers via Instagram, allowing everyone a glimpse of what sexy at 60 really means.

    “Heaven…I’m in Heaven,” Christie Brinkley captioned this first Instagram shot that features her floating in the clear, blue waters of the Turks and Caicos, in that little bikini.

    She shared daughter Alexa’s birthday celebration via Instagram as well.

    “Having Fun in the Sun with our Birthday Girl Alexa Ray! Happy birthday @alexarayjoel!” she captioned this fun mother-daughter shot.

    While on vacation, Christie Brinkley and her family wound up taking part in a soccer game. And guess who else was there?

    Justin Bieber was apparently part of that same team, since Christie Brinkley captioned this photo, “My daughter, Sailor and the fabulous soccer player called “the Secret Weapon” #soccer #parrotcay.”

    So Justin Bieber is considered a secret weapon on the soccer field? Who knew?

    Selena Gomez was noticeably absent from any of Christie Brinkley’s photos, as she traveled with Kendall Jenner and some other girlfriends to Dubai for her New Year’s celebration.

    Might Christie Brinkley’s daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook have been the draw for the Biebs? She is one gorgeous young lady.

    Brinkley and her family had so much fun in the sun that they didn’t want to leave their beautiful vacation destination.

    She captured this shot, ‘Last rays….’

    It’s almost unfathomable how sexy Christie Brinkley is at almost 61. And seeing how she surrounds herself with youthful activities–and young people, too–it’s likely she’ll continue looking that way for a very long time.
