While her career is flourishing, her personal life has also been a subject of public interest, particularly her long-term relationship with restaurateur Ryan Gleason. The couple first announced their engagement on New Year's Day in 2018.
The proposal took place during a romantic getaway, and the news was shared widely, with both Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley expressing their happiness for the couple.
Despite the high-profile engagement, details about a wedding date have remained private, and there has been no recent, authoritative news regarding a marriage or a split. She and Gleason have maintained a relatively low profile, focusing on their respective careers and private life away from the heavy media scrutiny that often follows celebrity children.
The Next Generation: Della Rose and Remy Anne Joel
Billy Joel became a father later in life to two more daughters, Della Rose and Remy Anne, whom he shares with his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick. These two younger daughters provide a sweet, more private contrast to the high-profile upbringing of Alexa Ray.
Della Rose Joel (Born 2015)
Della Rose Joel was born on August 12, 2015, just a month after Billy Joel’s surprise wedding to Alexis Roderick, a former finance professional and equestrian. As of late 2025, Della Rose is 10 years old. She has occasionally been seen on stage with her father, often joining him to sing during his concerts, a heartwarming sight that showcases the family’s close bond.
Billy Joel has shared rare glimpses into his home life with Della Rose, often noting her musical inclination and her budding interest in the piano.
Remy Anne Joel (Born 2017)
Remy Anne Joel is the youngest of the three sisters, born in October 2017. She is the second daughter for Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick, making her approximately 7 or 8 years old in late 2025.
Like her older sister Della Rose, Remy Anne is kept largely out of the public eye but has been pictured in rare family photos shared by her parents. Her presence completes the trio of "Piano Man" daughters, ensuring that music and family remain the central themes in Billy Joel’s later life.
The Enduring Legacy of the Joel-Brinkley-Roderick Family
The lives of Billy Joel's three daughters—Alexa Ray, Della Rose, and Remy Anne—are a testament to the enduring influence of a creative and blended family. While Alexa Ray is a professional musician, actively releasing new singles like "Riverside Way" and "Heavy Eyes" in 2025 and launching a new SiriusXM segment, her younger sisters are enjoying a more private childhood.
The entities surrounding the daughters—from their mothers, Christie Brinkley and Alexis Roderick, to their father’s iconic catalog—all contribute to a rich tapestry of topical authority. The daughters continue to inspire the man who penned some of the greatest love songs and ballads of the 20th century, ensuring the Joel family legacy extends well into the 21st century. Whether through new music, radio appearances, or simply being the inspiration for a proud father, Billy Joel’s daughters are a fascinating part of his ongoing story.
