Billy Joel is not the first musician Alex Donnelley has been with. She was previously married to Robert Lamm from the band Chicago. Donnelley is 49 and much older than Joel's soon to be ex-wife Katie Lee Joel. Katie is only 27 years old. Perhaps an older woman is just what Billy Joel needs.
Billy's daughter, Alexa Ray Joel was not surprised when her dad told her he was getting divorced. She told Ok! Magazine "I have a pretty good women’s intuition so I could tell," adding "I know my dad very well. So I’m behind him, you know." Elton John and Billy Joel are touring together in the in the "Face 2 Face" tour.
