Billy Joel and Wife Split
According to the New York Post, after five years of marriage, Billy Joel and current wife Katie Lee have announced they are divorcing. Rumors have swirled for months that Lee has been having an affair with Yigal Azrouel, a fashion designer who often escorts her to events. Much has been made of the age difference between Joel, 60, and Lee, 27. For those wondering, Azrouel is a more age appropriate 36. Joel met Lee when she worked as a restaurant correspondent for a television show on PBS, and they married at his Long Island home in October 2004. This was Joel’s third marriage: his first was to his business manager, Elizabeth Weber, which ended in divorce in 1982 after nine years, and he split from second wife Christy Brinkley, in 1994, also after nine years of marriage.
