Billy Joel and his wife Katie Lee on The Oprah Winfrey Show (3/24)
Billy Joel — or “William” if you’re — and his wife Katie Lee have split up. The two have been married since 2004. Rather than just tell you their age difference, I thought I’d illustrate it in trivia form: By the time Katie Lee was born in 1981, Billy had already released seven albums. Damn. A joint statement the couple released today read:
“After nearly five years of marriage, Billy Joel and Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate. This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other.”
Of course this comes as a real shock to those of us who saw Billy and Katie on Oprah earlier this year. They looked practically inseparable.
