Billy Joel to become father at 65
New York, April 15
Pianist Billy Joel is set
to become a father again for the second time at the age 65. The singer
is having a baby with his girlfriend Alexis Roderick, who is 32 years
his junior.
It is Joel’s second time as a father after his first
child, Alexa Ray Joel, whom he had with his second wife Christie
Brinkley in 1985.
Joel and Alexis have been dating for five years and are expecting the baby in August, reports mirror.co.uk.
A
source told Radar Online that Alexis has been keeping a low profile
around her New York home not wanting to be seen just yet with her
growing bump.
“There are lots of family photos with Alexis and her growing belly,†said a source close to the singer.
“She
doesn’t leave the house too often because she doesn't want anyone to
know. And she wears big dresses to cover it up. They are reported to
have chosen the name Madison,†the source added.
The 33-year-old is a former financial adviser for the investment bank Morgan Stanley.
Although the couple have not married, he gave her a diamond ring a couple years ago.
Joel has been married three times before, most famously to Brinkley, who appeared in the video to “Uptown Girlâ€.
