Myrna Suarez/WireImageBilly Joel just capped off a banner week by tying the knot.
The 66-year-old singer-songwriter married girlfriend Alexis Roderick, 33, Saturday at his Long Island, NY estate, according to US Weekly. By all accounts the ceremony was a surprise to the family and guests gathered for a Fourth of July celebration.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo officiated the nuptials, while guests included comic actor Kevin James and Alexa Ray Joel, Billy’s daughter with second wife Christie Brinkley, who posted her congratulations on Instagram, writing: “Congratulation to the glowing bride and groom.. And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!”
James was also there last Wednesday night, when Joel performed his record 65th show at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the most shows played there by any artist. James helped raise a banner commemorating the achievement.
Joel and Roderick, who’s pregnant, began dating in 2009, right about the time Billy divorced his third wife, Katie Lee.
