AceShowbiz - Billy Joel and his 33-year-old girlfriend Alexis Roderick are expecting their first baby together. A representative for the 65-year-old singer confirmed the reports in a statement on Tuesday, April 14 and said that the baby would arrive in August.
"Billy Joel and his girlfriend, Alexis Roderick, are expecting their first child this summer," so the statement read. "The couple, together since 2009, opted to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut."
The statement came after Radar Online reported that Roderick was pregnant with Joel's child and was reportedly expecting a baby girl. The news outlet also said that according to a source, the couple would name the baby Madison.
"There are lots of family photos with Alexis and her growing belly," the source told the website. "She doesn't leave the house too often because she doesn't want anyone to know. And she wears big dresses to cover it up."
Roderick is a former financial adviser to Morgan Stanley. She and Joel have been dating for more than five years. Although the couple hasn't had any plans to tie the knot soon, Joe allegedly gave Roderick a diamond ring two years ago.
Prior to dating Roderick, Joel had been married three times. He first married Elizabeth Weber Small in 1973. After three years of separation from Small, Joel wedded Christie Brinkley. They have a daughter together named Alexa Ray Joel, now 29. Joel married his third wife Katie Lee in 2004 but decided to divorce her after five years of marriage.
