Roderick is 33, half Joel’s statuesque 66. Roderick is a former Wall Street executive at the financial giant Morgan Stanley, and she’s an avid equestrian — having competed as a rider. Roderick owns horses and is active in the US Equestrian Federation. The vegetarian Roderick is pregnant with her first child. It will be Billy Joel’s second child — his first, Alexa Ray Joel, is 29. Alexa Ray’s mom Christie Brinkley tweeted that another quality new bride Alexis Roderick possesses is that she’s a “wonderful friend” to her daughter Alexa, her near contemporary.
