When a person who has a high profile is going through something like a divorce, they will know that unless they cotrol the message, someone else will most certainly do so for them and not always truthfully. Chritie has certainly been in the public eye and in front of cameras almost all her life and having her child with her probably wasn’t my choice or anyone else’s but she does have the right to control what her family does. With the press, sometimes if you dole out a small amout of info with your family, they will usually after that leave the kids alone. Christie is a classy woman. She didn’t deserve a man who has no respect for her and prefers the company of porn.

I’ve never been married, but I lived with my first “love” through most of my 20s, until he said marrymemarrymemarryme and I realized I really did not want that, and I have never wanted children, but he blocked out what he didn’t want to hear. His idea of a great marriage (not kidding here) was for me to have kids, me go to work and he would stay home with the kids. That was the last straw. I believe men sometimes underestimate how difficult raising a child is. (I only helped raise nieces and nephews, and that was exhausting. And I was in my teens.) When he was over (phew), I dated (i.e., no nooky) for 8 years before my current love found me in jury duty. We are together 12 or 14 years (I say 14) and I have never been happier with a friend, life companion and a guy who gets my dumb jokes. He never wanted children either. I cannot imagine life without him. Now that is what marriage should be based on. Getting each other’s jokes.

Once upon a time, there was a magazine called Mademoiselle. One time Mademoiselle ran a feature in the mid-1970’s about Christie Brinkley on vacation in Aruba with her handsome husband, Jean-Francois Allaud, who has looks as classically Gallic as hers are typically American. In the copy, they stated that Christie took time every day to paint or draw, so she clearly was serious about her art in her 20’s. It seemed like a charmed life, these two gorgeous artists with a career to support them. Alas, not to be.

Christie Brinkley reportedly signed a divorce settlement. Does that mean we get to stop talking about it?
