Music legend and wife welcome a baby girl with a very cute name

Aug 12, 2015

It’s a girl! Billy Joel and his wife Alexis Roderick have welcome their first child together today.

Alexis gave birth to the couple’s first daughter Della Rose on Wednesday in New York. This is the first child for the pair.

Alexis, 33, is an accomplished equestrian who married Billy, 66, last month at Billy’s Long Island estate.

At their annual Independence Day party last month the two surprised their guests and exchanged wedding vows. The couple enjoyed their nuptials while surrounded by friends and family.

In April the couple announced that Alexis was pregnant, People magazine confirmed the news and that it was to be another girl for the singer.

“Billy Joel and his girlfriend, Alexis Roderick, are expecting their first child this summer. The couple, together since 2009, opted to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut.”

A rep for Billy said that he is “thrilled to become a dad again,” with the birth of little Della Rose.

Billy is already father to singer-songwriter Alexa Ray, 29, from his previous marriage to Christie Brinkley.

When the pair married in July Christine, 61, shared a supportive message on social media to congratulate them:

“Congratulations to the glowing bride and groom. And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!”
