Billy Joel is back in the spotlight thanks to the CBS airing of his 100th show at Madison Square Garden, despite being controversially cut part of the way through due to coverage of golf's Masters Tournament.
The 74-year-old legend will conclude his series of performances at MSG this July, his 104th in the series and his 150th lifetime performance, and he's been supported on his journey by his many family members.
Some of his loved ones have also made appearances at his shows over the years (backstage and on-stage), including one of his ex-wives, plus his musically inclined daughter. Read on below to learn more about Billy's love life and his blended family with his three children…

In the late 1960s, Billy joined the rock group The Hassles, but in 1969, he and drummer Jon Small broke away to form their own duo, Attila.

However, she reconnected and reconciled with the "Piano Man" singer shortly after, and they resumed their relationship, tying the knot in 1973, with Elizabeth becoming his manager. Their marriage wasn't to last, and they finalized their divorce in 1982.

In 1983, Billy met supermodel Christie Brinkley in St Barts and they soon struck up a romance, two years after Christie's own divorce from French artist Jean-François Allaux.
In March 1985, they tied the knot on a yacht on the Hudson River and nine months later, they welcomed their daughter Alexa Ray Joel. Alexa is a singer, songwriter, and pianist just like her dad and has joined him onstage at his MSG residency multiple times, most recently in February.

Katie Lee
In 2003, Billy met chef Katie Lee, best known for her appearance on Food Network shows and contributions to Iron Chef America, at a rooftop bar at The Peninsula Hotel in NYC.
