BILLY JOEL DATING 29-YEAR-OLD ALEX RODERICK

Posted by Adam

Billy JoelBILLY Joel has a new girlfriend.

The Piano Man singer — who split from third wife, chef Katie Lee Joel last year — is reportedly dating 29-year-old Alexis Roderick, who works for Morgan Stanley bank in New York after meeting her in a restaurant.

Explaining how they met, Alexis told the New York Daily News newspaper, “He was going to dinner. I wasn’t. And we were friends for a while before we started dating.”

The pair were spotted together in September but this is the first time Alexis has acknowledged the relationship.

Billy was also previously married to his business manager Elizabeth Weber Small and supermodel Christie Brinkley, with whom he has a 24-year-old daughter Alexa Ray Joel.

Alexa revealed last year she was helping her 61-year-old father get over the ending of his third marriage and claimed he found it hard to trust people.

“He was the first person that told me, being who he is, he can’t just trust everybody,” she said. “I like knowing that my dad can talk to me in the same way that I come to him… I’m just supporting him right now.”

Billy’s new girlfriend Alexis will be busy helping the singer recuperate after he recently underwent surgery on both hips.

He was admitted to hospital in Long Island, New York, last month to be treated for a congenital hip ailment and decided to have both joints looked at in order to stop himself backing out of later surgery.

    I think Billy Joel is looking for a lady more downhome,not the famous, those whos out there in the public. I love his music and songs. I wish his daughter well..Hang in there Billy, you will find that right lady one day. wish all the Joels happiness and merry christmas.

    Sometimes you can find contentment without being married.
    For some people it just doesn’t work. I am one of those.I only married once for 23 years; never tried it again but found happiness in other ways…..mln

    I’m disgusted by the age of these young women…there’s nothing he can provide for these women except money. He’s revolting. It would be very difficult to make love to him and Viagara does not work. He actually thinks these women like him?

    • http://yahoo linda

      It is sad to know he’s trying to find love with a woman young enough to be his daughter. This is ego on his part, and publicity seeking on her part. He surely will not find love here. Try someone close to his own age!

    This guy needs a psychiatrist. Falls in love with the first thing that pays attention to him.

    Money makes a person look good. Look at Mick Jagger….or Steven Tyler…ruff ruff !!!!!!!

    • DreamOn

      I hate to break this to you but it isn’t money that makes Steven Tyler attractive. I am 48 and have thought the man was sexy since I was 19. Not as sexy as Joe Perry (band’s guitarist) but sexy still. It’s the raw sex appeal, the talent and that they are exactly who they are w/o ever making any apologies about it. Especially attractive is the fact they have not changed their style like so many older rockers; they have stayed true to who they are. Also, have you not noticed that Tyler and Perry (in their early 60′s) still have abs a 20 year old would envy?? Jagger is fine but I never found him attractive at 19 or 48. It has nothing to do w/ money. If it was only about money, I’d find Brad Pitt or Donald Trump sexy and I don’t!

      • Chris

        I’m with you DreamOn. I’ve had a major crush for Billy Joel since I was 15…I’m now 44. Over the years, whether I was listening to his music, reading a book (or article)about him, or watching an interview with him, I never once saw a dollar sign. I think he’s incredibly sexy!

      Thank you, Tony! My husband and I have been wondering if written material is even being proofread nowadays.

  • Tony

    It’s a CONGENITAL hip disorder!!! NOT congenial. Every paper and website in the country is reprinting this stupidly written sentence, and no one is bothering to check with their editors since grammar and spell check says it’s OK.

    • J-Nat

      Maybe his hip is just very friendly!

    I am a fan of Billy Joel and have over the years seen this man suffer and try to fill his life with love, happiness, and keep turning to drinking repeatedly. Theres only one thing that truly satisfies and fulfills us, Jesus. He fills the place reserved in our heart for Him, then we have true life. I am praying for Mr.Joel in Jesus name that the eyes of his heart are opened and comes to faith in Jesus. May God shine His light upon him and save him. Shalom

    He’d be able to trust more people if he weren’t chasing gold diggers. It never ceases to amazes me that older famous men can’t see that the younger woman is only after money.

  • Shawn Graves

    From hip replacement to 29 year old’s. I understand the fact of wanting to find love but a 29 year old? Can anyone say mid-life crisis? She can’t possibly have anything in common except for money. I do wish him the best of luck though.

  • Dan

    Billy Joel was hip and congenial even before the operation.

    • Chris

      funny yet so true!

  • Monaghan

    You old Codger!!! Heal up + leave some of the trim for us younger guys, Damnit!!!

  • JB!

    I absolutely love his music but after seeing him on American Chopper I believe he’s a stuck up jerk. They made a sweet ride for him and he acted like a kid on xmas that got a sweater. But I’m sure this 29 year old is with him for true love, or she’s bff with his daughter

  • Diggety

    He wants to bang a young broad. It’s not hard to understand the allure…. what man his age wouldn’t trade places? Go Billy…. and who knows, maybe it turns into a fulfilling relationship on other levels.

    • Melissa

      I believe the hip ailment is congenital and not congenial, but who has time to edit these days, right?

  • MrSouthMetroAtl

    Hmmmmm………..he’s in trouble. His music career is mostly washed up and so is he it seems. Billy should settle down with a woman close to his age and stop robbing these young women of their woman-hood. Roderick in the meantime should settle with a man closer to her age, have a few kids and make a decent life. I don’t think it’s love or Joel’s body she’s after. SAD!

  • steven

    Billy does not care about anything.He has a good attitiude.

  • Serenity

    Jeez can’t you find someone your own age?????..no wonder your relationships don’t last..too wide an age difference, young enough to be your child!!! Love your music but come on Billy!!

  • Rochelle

    Did someone say the legend’s music career is washed up? What are you 12? The man is legendary. He has always guarded his personal life with more care than most of the superstars, but seems to have some bad luck with women. Maybe he’d do better in a relationship with a woman a little older, but really what man would take a 50 year old woman when he can still attract gracious, gorgeous, intelligent 30 year olds. Be real.

    • http://yahoo.net alec mc nicol

      Not so he always marries women who are youg enought to be his daughter. Then they take im to the cleaners, then he starts all over again !

      • jessica

        Cause he can!!! ewww

  • Charmer2437

    Why does an older guy date a younger woman? Because he can….. Why does it matter if there is love or not? I am sure both have reasons to date each other. Get over it. I bet if your husband could date a younger chick and get her interested in him, he would as well..!!!

  • ed wood

    Marry your best friend.

  • ric

    It is natural. Some women get attracted by older men just because they provide them with a sense of security and the fact that a man Billy Joel has a very interesting life and experience. Remember women are not only attracted by the phisical aspect. If Billy is a gentleman with her, and gives interesting conversation, she can be knocked out. Well, money helps. :-)

    Billy, thanks for giving us a great soundtrack for our life!

  • donaldduck

    The only thing that a 29 year old finds attractive about a 61 year old, especially one with health problems, are his fame and money. She’s a f-ing banker, you think she wants to hang with him for his good looks? Senior Risk Manager, I bet she is!

  • lolwut

    Charmer2437, were you being sarcastic when you chose your display name?

  • Callmemochelle

    Dude, the new girlfriend is just a few years older than his daughter!

  • jessica

    No fool like an old fool….Only one reason a 29 year old would date a guy that age….chaaaaching.
    I don’t care if he’s talented, nice, charming….he’s that much older than her that he could be her father or nearly her grandfather….just disgusting….wonder why his relationships don’t last….haha. I’m 29, and I don’t ever want an old scrotum bumping against me….ewwww..I’d listen to him sing in my bedroom any day, if it was on the radio..I would never lower myself to date or marry for money….what 29 year old guy or girl would want a 61 year old….she must have real Daddy issues…:(

  • John Toher

    HEY BILLY! CAGNEYS DUDE! ROCK ON BILLY!!

  • Paul

    Not only celebrities or famous like younger women. I am a 51 year old man and am married to a 28 year old woman. I am not rich or famous, I just like beautiful women! We have a daughter too and our marriage is rooted in the Lord (we are both Christians). If I was 61, I would still like younger women (20′s or 30′s). It’s just a preference, plenty of celebrities and rich guys that marry women their own age as well. Everyone is different!

  • Maybe

    I think that the only 61 I might want to go on one date is Steve Martin….I don’t know..for some reason I’ve always thought there’s something sexy about him. I’m about 20 years younger….Oh well…
