"Sunday night, Billy and Alexis Joel welcomed Remy Anne into their family," says Billy's rep. "Alexis and Remy are doing well, and everyone is thrilled." Remy Anne was weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. at the time of birth.
Remy Anne is Billy and Alexis' second child together and Billy's third child. They welcomed their first child together, Della Rose, in August 2015, one month after they tied the knot at his estate in Long Island, New York. The couple began dating in 2009.
Billy only broke the news that he and Alexis were expecting their second child together less than a week ago, during an interview with the Belfast Telegraph. "We are due next month," he told the publication at the time. "She sleeps through the night," he said of their first daughter Della. "I hope the next one will."
Billy is also a father to singer-songwriter Alexa Ray Joel, 31, from his second marriage to Christie Brinkley. Billy and Alexa were in the delivery room to support Alexis as she gave birth.
Billy's first wife was Elizabeth Weber Small, who became his inspiration behind his song "She's Always a Woman" and the inspiration for the waitress character in "Piano Man". They divorced in July 1982 after being married for almost nine years.
Prior to dating accomplished equestrian Alexis, Billy was married to his third wife Katie Lee, a chef, from 2004 until 2009. Billy's eldest daughter Alexa served as maid of honor at their wedding.
