Is “until death do us part” outdated?!<\/p>\n
That is what\u00a0Christie Brinkley<\/strong> thinks, at least. The former\u00a0Sports Illustrated<\/em> cover girl was the special guest on\u00a0Sex and the City<\/em> alum\u00a0Kristin Davis<\/strong>‘ podcast\u00a0Are You A Charlotte?<\/em> this week. And during their interesting and wide-ranging chat, Brinkley opened up about how she views marriage in this day and age.<\/p>\n Related: A Married Donald Trump Once Tried To Get Christie Brinkley On His Private Jet<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, this matters quite a bit because Brinkley has been married a whopping four times. So, the Michigan-born woman knows a thing or two about getting hitched, and trying to stay hitched, and ultimately not really succeeding at doing that!<\/p>\n As you will no doubt recall, Christie was wed to French artist Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Allaux<\/strong> from 1975 to 1981. She then got married to\u00a0Billy Joel<\/strong> in 1985 — a marriage which lasted until 1994. She married\u00a0Richard Taubman<\/strong> later that year, and divorced him a year after that. And then she was hitched to\u00a0Peter Cook<\/strong> from 1996 to 2006.<\/p>\n Plus, she’s got three children from those marriages: a daughter\u00a0Alexa<\/strong>, whom she shares with Billy Joel, and a 30-year-old son Ray<\/strong> and a 27-year-old daughter\u00a0Sailor<\/strong> whom she shares with Cook.<\/p>\n So, yeah, she knows about the process of getting married, and also getting divorced! And so when Davis asked whether a life-long partnership with just one person was “outmoded” or old-fashioned in this modern age, Christie had THOUGHTS!<\/p>\n The 71-year-old suggested that people really ought to get hitched if they really want to, but then maybe they should check in every five years about whether or not they ought to uh, “renew” their marriage for another five years. Really! Brinkley explained her line of reasoning:<\/p>\n “You could get married, like, \u2018We\u2019ll see if you want to renew it in five years.’ Every five years, go, \u2018Do you want to renew?’”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And she also counseled Davis about WHY she felt that way, adding:<\/p>\n “That way, if you\u2019re getting bored or whatever, you can get out of it without all the lawyers and all that stuff.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Oookay!<\/p>\n We get that it’s good to check in with your partner and stuff to make sure that things are going well. But every five years?! And such a stark focus on that timetable from the start?! Hmmm…<\/p>\n What do U think, Perezcious readers? ‘Til death do us part… or… ’til half-a-decade runs its course?!
