Christie Brinkley gave her fans an intimate look into her personal life in her 2025 book «Uptown Girl». Although her most famous past relationships were with ex-husband Billy Joel, the mother of three sheds light on her marriage with Peter Cook and his affair in the memoir.
As readers learn more about Christie and Peter’s past marriage, continue reading to learn more about him.
Christie has been married four times. Her first marriage was to Jean-François Allaux from 1973 to 1981, and the second was to Billy from 1985 to 1994. She then moved on to her third husband Richard Taubman, whom she married in 1994 but divorced the following year. The model then married Peter in 1996, and they divorced in 2006.
Peter is an architect. He is currently married to his wife, Alba Jancou, who is 30 years younger than him.
In Christie’s memoir «Uptown Girl», she recalls the moment she found out her then-husband was cheating on her with a much younger woman.
«I was so stunned, I froze», - she wrote about the moment that happened while Christie was speaking at a high school graduation ceremony. «When your whole world crumbles and you suddenly become the cliché middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?»
Looking into the audience where Peter was sitting, Christie claimed he shook his head «no».
«At that moment, I thought I might faint on stage, in front of hundreds of people», - Christie wrote in her memoir. «When I stood up, I asked the man for his business card, but he said he didn’t have one and that he was a cop in town, so all I needed to do was go to the station if I wanted the full story».
The identity of the teenager Peter had an affair with was never confirmed. But Christie described the moment when a man, supposedly the father of this teenager, allegedly told the supermodel about Peter’s infidelity.
«Sorry. I need to tell you that your arrogant husband was cheating on my teenage daughter», - the man told Christie, as she claimed in «Uptown Girl».
Later, Christie claimed that she and some friends were browsing the family computer to find the «maze» of Peter’s pornographic files.
«A panopticon of compromising photos and porn accounts filled the screen like fireworks, and before I knew it, my printer started spitting [photos] out into the room», - Christie claimed in her book. «It was so insane that it was almost funny, and soon the three of us were doubled over in laughter as the prints of girls in revealing poses started piling up on the floor faster than trash behind a dirty snack shop»
