Billy Joel’s current wife was ‘unimpressed’ with him when they met

Billy Joel opened up about the experience of meeting his current wife, Alexis in the documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes.

“When you meet someone who captures your imagination, it renews, it revitalizes,” he explained. “I remember the first time I met Alexis, we went to my house, and I wanted to play the piano for her. It’s a form of communication for me.”

“I’m playing that and she’s completely unimpressed with it, totally. She couldn’t care less what I’m playing and I’m thinking, ‘Oh OK, this isn’t working,’” he continued. “She was very unimpressed with the whole Billy Joel thing, which impressed me. Because I thought, ‘OK, maybe she’s just here because she likes me, not the Billy Joel guy.’”

They went on to tie the knot in 2015 and now share two daughters, Della, 9, and Remy, 7.

Alexis also spoke about their marriage in the documentary, saying, “We had a couple years together before we had kids and he had completely stopped doing shows. We traveled everywhere. We did a motorcycle trip from Maine down to Long Island, we were on boats 24/7. We were in Europe. We had so much fun.”
