Sailor Brinkley Cook

Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook (born July 2, 1998) is an American model and the daughter of supermodel Christie Brinkley. Family and early life Cook's father is architect Peter Halsey Cook who once modeled with her mother Christie Brinkley in 1979. They eventually reconnected, and were married from 1996 until their 2008 divorce. Cook was conceived via in-vitro fertilization and her mother was 44 at the time Cook was born. Cook has two maternal half-siblings: Alexa Ray Joel (born 1985) from Brinkley's marriage to Billy Joel, and Jack Paris Brinkley (born 1995) from Brinkley's marriage to Richard Taubman. Growing up, Cook wanted to become a comedian or a professional athlete. During elementary school, Cook participated in dance lessons but nerves got the better of her and she never performed in the recitals. She started modelling at age 15 after accompanying her mother on shoots and being encouraged to try herself.
