It lasted for nine years and they split in 1982. Billy Joel\u2019s second marriage was to supermodel and actress, Christie Brinkley, in 1985. It also lasted for nine years before they divorced in 1994.<\/p>\n Ten years after his third divorce, Billy Joel got married to his third wife, Katie Lee, a budding culinary expert. The union raised a lot of eyebrows because of their 33-year age difference but they were able to make it last for five years before it bit the dust. Billy Joel is now married to Alexis Rodrick, a former hedge fund manager and they have two daughters together.<\/p>\n The iconic singer has certainly witnessed a lot of highs and lows but it has never made him give up on believing in true love. Another beautiful thing is that he remains on good terms with all of his ex-wives.<\/p>\n Billy Joel\u2019s first wife is Elizabeth Ann Weber Small. She was born in 1942, making her about seven years older than Billy Joel. She is described as a person who has a shrewd head for business. She has also been described as intelligent and not afraid to speak her mind. Elizabeth Weber Small has American nationality and Caucasian ethnicity. She spent several years managing her ex-husband\u2019s career.<\/p>\n Billy Joel first met Elizabeth Weber Small in 1970 through her husband, Jon. Jon was Joel\u2019s band mate in a band known as Attila. This brought Joel into close proximity to Small and he was bowled over by what he saw.<\/p>\n Joel was impressed with the fact that Small was not interested in cooking and home economics, like most girls, but was intelligent and bold. Elizabeth Weber Small returned Billy Joel\u2019s affections and they started dating while she was still married. They carried on the affair for some time until her husband discovered them. In the wake of the scandal, Small dumped both men and ran off.<\/p>\n This adversely affected Billy Joel. He was devastated by his failing career as well as the fact that he couldn\u2019t bring anything tangible to his relationship with Small. He attempted suicide twice but survived. With the help of his family members, he started writing music again. He also got back together with Elizabeth and they wed in 1973.<\/p>\nBilly Joel\u2019s First Wife Was Elizabeth Weber Small<\/strong><\/h2>\n
