Christie Brinkley and her look-alike youngest daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, attract the same men despite their 44-year age difference.
The 71-year-old supermodel revealed that her 27-year-old daughter once put her on dating app for an hour without her knowing — and to both their surprise, they had mutual matches.
The tidbit came out during Brinkley’s discussion with Kristin Davis on the “Are You A Charlotte?” podcast. Davis noted that there was an “extreme dichotomy” between men and women over 50 when it comes to dating, sharing that the men won’t date women their own age, even though the women are beautiful and accomplished.
In response, Brinkley — who’s currently not on any dating apps — shared the result of Sailor’s “mischievous” experiment on the unnamed platform.
“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 said.
Davis reacted with shock and delight.
“Wow!” the “Sex and the City” alum responded in disbelief. “Smart Sailor, that is a really fascinating little experiment.”
Brinkley is a mom to three children: Alexa, 39, whom she shares with ex-husband Billy Joel; son Jack, 30, whom she shares with ex-husband Richard Taubman; and daughter Sailor, whom she shares with ex-husband Peter Cook.
The iconic model has been married four times — Francois Allaux from 1973 to 1981, Joel from 1985 to 1994, Taubman from 1994 to 1995 and Cook from 1996 to 2008.
In her recent memoir, “Uptown Girl,” Brinkley recalled feeling devastated after finding out Cook had been unfaithful. She recalled the moment when a Hamptons cop told her that her “arrogant husband” was having an affair with his teenage daughter.
“When your whole world falls apart and you realize in a heartbeat you’ve suddenly become the cliché middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?” the actress wrote in her book, which was released on April 29.
Brinkley and Cook, 57, split after 10 years of marriage following the affair.
