In a surprising turn during her appearance on the “Are You A Charlotte?” podcast, former supermodel Christie Brinkley shared an unconventional perspective on marriage. The 71-year-old, who has been married four times, suggested that marriage should be a renewable contract.
A Five-Year “Renewal” Clause
Brinkley, who was speaking with actress Kristin Davis, proposed the idea of a marriage contract that couples could choose to “renew” every five years. According to a report by Fox News, she explained that this system would allow people to “get out of it without all the lawyers and all that stuff” if they get “bored or whatever.”
The model’s history with marriage is well-documented. She was first married to Jean-François Allaux, then to musician Billy Joel, followed by Richard Taubman, and finally to Peter Cook. This experience likely informs her unique take on the institution. Her comments have certainly sparked a lot of conversation online.
