Christie Brinkley Breaks Silence On Hilarious Dating App Drama Involving Her Daughter

Christie Brinkley and her lookalike daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, have more in common than their stunning resemblance.

The supermodel and the youngest of her three children are well-known for their identical features, so much so that they are called twins in tabloids. However, having similar features sparked a hilarious situation on a dating app.

Christie Brinkley recently highlighted the cons of having a younger mini-me, revealing they could attract the same men despite their 44-year age difference. The media personality welcomed three children from different marriages, with the youngest from her fourth union to ex-husband Peter Cook.

Brinkley opened up about the prank Sailor played on her during an appearance on the "Are You A Charlotte?" podcast. She spilled the tea to host Kristin Davis after the latter shared that there was an "extreme dichotomy" between men and women over 50 regarding dating.

Davis noted older men wouldn't date women their age even if they were accomplished and beautiful, claiming they would always choose a younger version of these women. Brinkley agreed, recalling that Sailor once signed her up for a dating app to see the type of men she would attract.

"She wanted to see what kind of guys [would match] … and she put me up there … and she said, 'Mom, you're right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me, are saying yes to you,'" Brinkley revealed.

It appeared the men she matched with wanted to get a taste of both the model and her younger mini-me.

Brinkley welcomed three children after four marriages, with her first, Alexa Ray Joel, arriving during her union with her second husband, Billy Joel. The oldest of the media personality's wards followed in her famous father's footsteps to become a singer-songwriter.

Alexa has released several songs, including her 2021 hit "Seven Years." She raved about the track to PEOPLE after its release, noting her father had called to congratulate her. Brinkley's second child, a son named Jack Paris Brinkley-Cook, was born during her third marriage to Richard Taubman.

Jack was later adopted by Brinkley's fourth husband, Peter Cook, and took his last name. Unlike his older and younger siblings, the model's son avoided the spotlight and lived privately. The youngest of the trio, Sailor, followed in her mother's footsteps to become an accomplished model.

Although Sailor exuded confidence on runways and magazine covers, there were several moments where she felt far from her sexy persona. She got vulnerable with fans in a May 2020 post, revealing her body image issues and lack of self-confidence.

"I've been so down on myself recently. Crying about my cellulite, letting the fat on my body ruin my day, getting mad that I'm not as skinny as I once was. The body dysmorphia and leftover eating disorder tendencies have been coming in strong," Sailor wrote, per the outlet.

Brinkley's lookalike daughter noted she lacked confidence because she compared herself to other girls on Instagram, claiming, "I'm so tired of thinking anything makes up ME is something to be ashamed of."

She echoed similar sentiments during an interview, stressing that her mom didn't "fully know the pain" she had been enduring.

Sailor's past confession about her mother being unable to comprehend her pain might stem from the supermodel's unbreakable will and confidence. In April, The Blast shared that Brinkley got candid about defying the cons of aging by refusing to be limited by a number.

Brinkley recalled several people warning her that her modeling career would end at 30, noting she refused to listen to these critics. Instead, she proved them wrong by climbing a mountain on the morning of her 30th birthday, saying:

"That's when I decided to kiss the numbers goodbye because I wasn't going to let them define me."

The epiphany she achieved on that mountain continued to shape her life in her seventies, with Brinkley choosing to embrace aging rather than run from it. She claimed she did not try to remove her wrinkles and maintained her timeless beauty with simple cosmetic procedures like lasers and a little filler.

Despite enduring three divorces before meeting her fourth husband, Brinkley's final union was the worst experience. The Blast covered her confessions about her ex-husband, Cook, reporting that she did not mince her words in the memoir "Uptown Girl."

Brinkley poured her heart out in the book, revealing everything she once kept hidden about her tumultuous union. The entertainer's fairytale romance with Cook came crashing down in 2006 when she learned about her then-husband's affair with a teenager.

The father of the girl in question broke the news to Brinkley while she was delivering a graduation speech in the Hamptons. "It was the most tortured relationship I've ever had," she mused in her book, noting she became the stereotypical middle-aged woman who lost her partner to a younger girl.
