Surprise wedding; has two children with Billy Joel
Thirty-three years separate equestrian Alexis and her musician spouse! But, when the two initially met in a Huntington restaurant in 2009, that seemed to be the least of her worries.
Alexis Roderickand Billy Joel stayed friends before pursuing a sexual engagement when she was a Morgan Stanley senior risk officer at the adjacent Garden City office. Six years after courtship, the couple – who have a noticeable height difference – exchanged their vows in a surprise 4th of July ceremony at their Long Island mansion.
The wedding, which was officiated by then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, was the brainchild of Scott Parish of Thomas Prett Events. Petals Floral & Party Design and Mark of Excellence Distinctive Catering took care of the decor and cuisine, respectively.
Among those in attendance were actor Kevin James, restauranteur Ryan Gleason, and the musician’s daughter Alexa Ray, who delivered an impassioned eulogy.
Alexa is the result of Billy Joel’s second marriage to Christie Brinkley (1985-1994). His first and third marriages, with Elizabeth Weber Small (1973-1982) and Katie Lee (2004-2009), did not produce children.
Surprisingly, Alexis and her husband received their first child, a baby daughter called Della Rose Joel, in August 2015, only a few months after their wedding. Two years later, she gave birth to their second child, a daughter called Remy Anne Joel.
Billy Joel’s fortune guarantees that Remy and Della grow into a life of luxury.
