In 2019, Billy opened up to Rolling Stone about having young children later in life.
“I take (them) to school and one of the other parents will go, ‘Oh, your granddaughter’s so cute,” Billy shared saying people often mistake him for Della and Remy’s grandfather.
“I still love being a dad. I didn’t know that I would be a father again at this age, but I’m glad I am,” he added.
“They keep you young.”
JUST LIKE THEIR DADDY
Della’s birthday came just weeks before Billy finished his historic residency at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Billy Joel’s Marriage History
Over the years, Billy Joel has been married multiple times. Here’s a look at all the times he’s walked down the aisle:
Billy was first married to Elizabeth Weber Small in 1973. The pair were married for nearly a decade before divorcing on July 20, 1982.
Billy moved on with Christie Brinkley when they tied the knot in March 1985. Throughout their marriage, Christie gave birth to their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel. The former couple sadly divorced on August 26, 1994.
A decade later, the Vienna singer married Katie Lee in 2004. However, their marriage only lasted five years when the two divorced on June 17, 2009.
Six years later, Billy tied the knot a fourth time with his current wife, Alexis Roderick. The pair welcomed daughters, Della Rose and Remy Anne.
While the Piano Man singer performed in front of thousands of fans, the 74-year-old revealed that Della developed the musical gene.
Both his young daughters joined him on stage, and as Remy sat on the piano and greeted the crowd, Della naturally took over the mic.
The now-nine-year-old sang her dad’s hit song My Life while acting out some of the lyrics.
At the end of the song, Della said, “Thank you, Madison Square Garden!”
Billy, moved by his daughter’s talent, joked, “I guess it’s her life now!”
