After Brinkley’s fourth failed marriage, she swore she would never marry again. While she has stayed true to that statement, she has come close to saying “I do” — like with ex-boyfriend John Mellencamp, for example.
“I’m not going to marry again,” she once said. “It wouldn’t be a very intelligent thing to do.”
And her friends agreed. “After four strikes, Christie is smart to swear off marriage,” a friend of hers told The National ENQUIRER after her fourth divorce in 2008. “I think she’s just realized she’s not marriage material.”

In 2008, Brinkley divorced her fourth husband, Peter Cook, after his explosive cheating scandal with 19-year-old mistress Diana Bianchi.
After the news of their unsolicited romance, came out, there was a risk of his “pillow talk” damaging the situation even more. “Christie faces even more embarrassment when Peter’s ‘pillow talk’ comes out,” confided a source to The National ENQUIRER in 2006. “It’s sad because she’s always conducted herself with dignity.”
At the time, Cook even called his ex, Samantha Cole, to freak out over the fact that he sent her emails about the growing scandal. “Peter called me in a panic and warned me that people would be calling. He told me: ‘My wife is getting really paranoid.’ He called me five days later and sounded even more worried. We had had some e-mail exchanges, strictly platonic. “
She added, “But he was flipping out and told me: ‘I’m really concerned about the e-mails.’ He said Christie had been asking him the passcodes to his computer.”

In-between John Mellencamp’s love affair with Meg Ryan, the singer was hot and heavy with Christie Brinkley. But so it turned out, it was just a ploy to get Ryan jealous.
“He’d rather be at his lakeside home in his native Indiana than hanging around in NYC — even with Christie’s allure,” dished a friend of John’s to The National ENQUIRER in 2016.
“There was a bit of ‘I’ll show her’ in dating Christie,” the pal confessed. “Even many of John’s friends believe dating Christie is a ploy to make Meg jealous.”

At one point, fans thought Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel could be heading to the altar again. After Joel’s split from ex-wife Katie Lee, Brinkley and Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, wanted her dad to marry her mom again (even though it never happened since Joel remarried to Alexis Roderick in 2015).
“Alexa knew her father would eventually realize his marriage to Katie Lee was a mistake,” a close source told The National ENQUIRER in 2009. “While Billy still has the divorce process to get through, Alexa wants him to marry Christie as soon as it’s over.”
“She believes that her parents are genuine soulmates, and she wants them to grow old together,” the source added at the time. “Neither Billy nor Christie are ruling it out at this point.”

Four years after Brinkley split from Cook, she was still distraught over their messy split. “I married a monster!” she told a friend at the time, according to The National ENQUIRER. “My marriage to Peter was a complete nightmare. Even though I divorced him, I can’t get past it.”
A source added: “Christie is still piecing herself together. Peter shattered her life and continues to harass her.”
She even accused him of being rough with their children. “At times, he was too strong, too overwhelming with his use of force,” Brinkley said at the time. “I observed that Peter would follow some of the basic rules but then regress to an angry, demanding behavior.”
