Billy Joel, 65 is set to become a dad for the second time

Billy Joel is set to welcome his second child - almost 30 years after his first.

A statement on behalf of Joel was released today confirming the news.

“Billy Joel and his girlfriend, Alexis Roderick, are expecting their first child this summer,” it read.

“The singer has one daughter, singer/songwriter Alexa Ray Joel. The couple, together since 2009, opted to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut.”

The 65-year-old singing legend has been married three times before, prior to meeting Alexis, 33.

Elizabeth Weber Small was his first wife in 1973, followed by model Christie in 1985, then 23-year-old Katie Lee in 2004 when he was 55.

Katie and Billy split in 2009 after five years of marriage.
