Billy Joel’s ex-wife Elizabeth Weber reveals how they get along amid his brain disorder battle

Elizabeth Weber, Billy Joel’s former spouse, mentions that she has the ability to reach out to him anytime she wishes. However, it seems she is maintaining a considerate space, allowing him time to manage his health issue, which is a condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH).

Whenever I need to speak with him or have a message for him, I can reach out to him at any time,” is one way to paraphrase the sentence in a more natural and easy-to-read manner.

Weber mentioned that Joel is married to Alexis Roderick, a woman who specializes in equestrian activities, and they have two children: Della Rose Joel, aged nine, and Remy Anne Joel, aged seven.

Weber explained, ‘He’s married and has kids, and currently, he’s grappling with an issue that is quite significant.’

In May, Joel postponed a string of performances due to his diagnosis with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a health issue related to the brain.

In the 1960s, Weber first encountered the renowned singer and pianist who was then married to Jon Small, a bandmate of Joel.

Following a romantic involvement between Joel and Weber, their musical group disintegrated, and during this period, Joel struggled deeply with depression.

Weber shared with the magazine that despite having divorced 40 years ago, their connection with the artist of The Downeaster ‘Alexa’ remains as strong as necessary for two separated individuals.

In simpler terms, Joel has previously enjoyed quality time with Weber’s son, Sean Weber-Small (from a previous marriage), as well as her grandchildren.

According to Weber, he has grandchildren who are familiar with him, and the feeling is mutual. His granddaughter Ella introduced Bill to TikTok and demonstrated its features for him.

Both him and Sean hold a significant bond, and it’s worth mentioning that his connection with his son, Joel, was particularly strong and close.

Weber mentioned that the geographical distance between their homes slightly limits their ability to communicate effectively.

Although Weber resides in California, while he is based in Florida, he emphasized that the distance between them doesn’t affect their relationship, as everything is fine.

The It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me artist and Weber tied the knot in 1973, and parted ways in 1982.

Before his well-known relationship with model Christie Brinkley, the man who sang “Just The Way You Are” was dating Elle Macpherson, a supermodel from Australia.

In a marriage that lasted from 1985 to 1994, the five-time Grammy award-winning artist and his inspiration for the song “Uptown Girl” exchanged vows. Their union resulted in the birth of their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, who is currently 39 years old.

Billy Joel, the singer of “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” married food personality Katie Lee, who was then 43 years old, in 2004. However, they ended their relationship in 2009.

Joel has been wed to Roderick since 2015.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement for the latest two-part docuseries about the legendary Bronx-born musician – “Billy Joel: And So It Goes,” now airing on HBO. It’s a must-watch for anyone who appreciates his timeless music and captivating story!
