Another Hard Day for Christie Brinkley
Another Hard Day for Christie Brinkley
Ever since her divorce trial began last week, Christie Brinkley has been put through the emotional ringer. And today was no exception.
The gorgeous supermodel arrived early this morning for another day in court, looking stylish as always in a pink blouse, white cardigan, khaki skirt and muted pink heels. Once inside, she took the stand to testify to the “nightmare” she was forced to face at the hands of her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Brinkley detailed the hardship of putting on a brave face and throwing a birthday party with 30 kids amid revelations that her husband had an affair with a teenager. But she said that family celebrations such as those were too important to miss.
Through tears she said, “That’s the most important thing — to have a big, happy family.” She also explained that in order to spare her children the messy details, she simply told them, “I think daddy has fallen out of love with me,” but always emphasized that they’d be “very, very loved.”

It’s a scenario no one looks forward to. And as she arrived at the first day of her divorce trial this morning (July 2), Christie Brinkley appeared devastated.
The 54-year-old supermodel sported a white button-up shirt and a belted khaki skirt as she exited her car clinging to the arm of her lawyer and looking to be on the verge of tears.
She told press, “I’d hoped with all my heart we could have settled this out of court,” referring to some minor property disputes and a custody battle. In her favor, Brinkley has a prenuptial agreement that should stand up in court to allow her to keep her assets.
Christie’s soon-to-be-ex-husband Peter Cook showed up soon thereafter, sporting a dark blue suit and told press he felt, “bad that we have to be here.” Cook cheated on Brinkley with his 19-year-old assistant Diana Bianchi, who will be one of the 44 witnesses called in the trial.
