Christie Brinkley, 71, Matched With Same Men as Daughter on Dating App

by

Christie Brinkley made some unexpected connections on dating apps.

The supermodel shared an interesting fact: she and her daughter, Sailor Cook, found they were attracting the same men. This happened after Sailor, who is 27 years old and Christie’s child with ex-husband Peter Cook, secretly created a dating profile for her mom without her knowledge.

Christie stated on the “Are You A Charlotte?” podcast (August 4) that her mother kept her aloft for roughly an hour, then confided in host Kristin Davis: “Mom, it seems wise not to participate, as the same men who agreed to me are also agreeing with you.

Kristin found the experiment captivating, expressing, “I’m a bit apprehensive and astonished by the entire development in the dating scene. Frankly, I don’t grasp it, but I yearn to comprehend it more deeply.

Although Christie didn’t disclose if she had a look at the dating profile Sailor made for her, the Sports Illustrated celebrity (who is also a mother of Alexa Ray, aged 38, with ex Billy Joel, and Jack, aged 29, with ex Richard Taubman), along with Sailor, recently joked about their 44-year age gap.

In a video of the duo following the “Illegal” trend by Pinkpantheress, posted on Instagram on August 3rd, Christie can be seen shaking hands with her 27-year-old daughter, who expressed fear about aging prematurely in the caption, which read, “Daughter who’s afraid of aging poorly.

The video then cut to Christie as it said, “71 year old mom who still gets asked if we’re sisters.”

Nonetheless, the earlier version of herself remains unfazed by growing older. Interestingly, she had earlier expressed that she has struck a harmony that suits her well in handling the public’s gaze regarding aging.

“I don’t try to get rid of every wrinkle,” she told People in April. “I mainly do lasers.”

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that although she has experimented with injectables, she is equally excited about the recent broadening of the definition of beauty within the cosmetics industry.

Christie added, “And it includes us ‘seasoned’ gals.”

She expressed to Self that she doesn’t view growing older as a matter of becoming more attractive or unattractive; instead, it’s simply a shift. One undergoes changes, and that’s acceptable. Life, she said, is all about transformation.

The concept of ‘anti-aging’ doesn’t exist; everyone ages, plain and simple. Women sometimes view growing older as a personal shortcoming, like they failed if they can’t remain 25. I find this idea bizarre because to me, aging is a blessing-not everyone gets the chance to grow older.” (Spoken to Access Hollywood)

As someone deeply invested in the progress of women, I can’t help but notice a troubling pattern: when we make significant strides, society seems to respond by imposing restrictions, often targeting our physical appearance. While I believe we’ve come a long way, I find it disheartening that societal expectations still seem to discourage natural aspects of womanhood, such as aging and the appearance of pregnancy. It seems these expectations have only grown more stringent over time. This subtle form of oppression, which relies on self-loathing, is a clever way to maintain control. But I refuse to let society dictate how I should feel about my own humanity. I am proud to be human.

At age forty, she found herself thinking, “Ah, I’m getting to know myself better.” She admitted to Harper’s Bazaar that this self-acceptance brought a great sense of comfort.

She shared with Popsugar that her current happiness with her body stems from the fact that it is the result of her hard work and effort, leading to a stronger connection with it. While she acknowledges that her body was aesthetically more pleasing when she was 22 or 23, she didn’t appreciate it then because she was constantly comparing it to others.

I find grace in the signs of aging like gravity and wrinkles; they’re a modest exchange for the wisdom now residing within me. Even if my figure loses its firmness, with everything potentially drooping to the ground, I won’t fret about it,” she shared with Bustle.

“F–k you. I’m 50. That’s what I’m going to say when I turn 50. Sorry,” as she told Popsugar. 

In a reflection spanning six decades, the individual shares their most significant insight: Bravery holds immense worth. Regrettably, for far too long, I allowed fear to control me, leaving me terrified by life’s challenges. This fear is one of my deepest regrets, as shared with PopSugar.

At sixteen, twenty-eight seems ancient! But when you hit that age, it’s wonderful. You wonder then about turning forty-two, yuck! Yet forty-two is fantastic too. As life takes us to each new age, we acquire the wisdom necessary to appreciate and enjoy it,” she shared with Bustle.

“I do think about ageing. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can’t worry about it too much,” she told Marie Claire UK.

She stated to Ok! Magazine, “What we often refer to as ‘aging’ is really about maturing and gaining knowledge. I find this process incredibly beautiful and I like to think of it as a unique kind of beauty.

“Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead,” as she told MarieClaire.

She expressed surprise to Net-a-Porter Magazine, saying it’s hard to imagine that some people don’t believe women become even more attractive as they grow older. She believes that self-confidence increases with age, and true beauty stems from the inner confidence one has in themselves.

Individuals who falsify their age are essentially concealing the truth and adding to a prevalent unhealthiness in our society, an unhealthiness that stems from desiring to be someone other than oneself. I am confident that embracing your true identity is essential for fully experiencing life, as expressed in O Magazin.

As time passes, aging is an inevitable process that happens naturally beyond our control. However, how you choose to navigate it is entirely up to you. In the lines and creases that now adorn my face, I see a testament of my life’s journey. Each wrinkle, each smile line, each age spot tells a unique story. It’s said that with age, we may show what’s on the outside, but if you’re someone who seldom smiles, your countenance will grow slack. If you’re a person who laughs often, you’ll bear more smile lines. The wrinkles etched upon your visage serve as a map of the paths you’ve walked in life. My face bears the weathering of travels – the wind, sun, rain, and dust from my journeys. It carries all my memories. Why should I attempt to erase them?” she shared with Vogue.

In her conversation with Glamour, she expressed that as a woman matures, she tends to grow more confident about her sexuality. She no longer feels intimidated or embarrassed by it. Instead, her sexuality and femininity seem to be the result of aging, gaining wisdom, and becoming comfortable in her own skin.
