Christie Brinkley says marriage should have five-year renewal option 'in case of boredom' after FOUR weddings
has a new take on marriage after four divorces. The famed model, 71, chat with Kristen Davis on her Are You a Charlotte? podcast on Thursday, expressing a new twist on the concept of holy matrimony that introduces elements of leasing. Davis, 60, asked Brinkley, who has been through four marriages, if she felt the idea of a lifelong monogamous relationship was 'outmoded.' The Monroe, Michigan-born model said she felt reviewing a relationship 'every five years' would enable people to exit stagnant romances without absorbing the costly financial and emotional tolls that divorce brings about. 'You could get married, like, "We'll see if you want to renew it in five years,"' the Uptown Girl beauty said. 'Every five years, go, "Do you want to renew?"' The National Lampoon's Vacation star told Davis: 'If you're getting bored or whatever, you can get out of it without all the lawyers and all that stuff.' Brinkley added that 'honorable men are becoming a rarity' amid a social landscape choc with 'so much temptation.' Brinkley's unconventional take comes after four marriages that ended in divorce. She was wed to Jean-François Allaux, an artist from France between 1975 and 1981. From 1985 to 1994, she was wed to famed musician Billy Joel, in a union that produced daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 39. Joel had been seeing Australia-born supermodel Elle Macpherson prior to his high-profile romance with Brinkley. Brinkley from 1994 to 1995 was wed to real estate businessman Richard Taubman, and they welcomed son Jack Brinkley-Cook, 30. From 1996 to 2006, she was wed to architect Peter Cook in a union that produced Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 27, while Peter also adopted Jack. On the podcast, Brinkley told the Sex and the City actress that she and her daughter Sailor - who are separated by more than four decades in age - had matched with the same males on dating apps. Brinkley said she has stayed off dating apps, but her daughter Sailor conducted an experiment and made a profile for her. 'She wanted to see what kind of guys' would be interested, Brinkley told Davis. 'She put me up there.' Brinkley continued, Sailor 'said, "Mom, you're right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me, are saying yes to you."' Brinkley in July told The New York Times that she's 'too trusting' in her relationships, and often makes decisions based on emotion. 'I'm a fool for love,' Brinkley said. 'That love takes work. Sometimes you need to rely on experts. 'I wish I could have found ways to save some; I wish I hadn't married others.' Brinkley, who is single at this time, added that some of the 'relationships [she] was in made [her] feel unloved,' but can feel 'loveable' when nestled 'in the right arms.'

Annual Boots and Badges softball game, blood drive aims to raise money for community
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Morehead City first responders are gearing up for a competitive and charitable softball game Saturday, Apr. 26, 2025. The Crystal Coast Boots and Badges is a nonprofit group of local Carteret County first responders. Saturday, they will be taking part in a tradition of having firefighters take on police officers in the charity game. Founder of the organization, Kristen Davis, said she started the charity game to assist a local deputy who was battling a brain tumor. Many games later, the money still goes toward helping people with medical issues. 'We were able to assist them financially during his recovery and trips back and forth to Chapel Hill and because it was so successful, we continued to do it every year. This will be year 15 actually,' Davis said. 'It's just the spirit of this county is when somebody, anybody is in need, everybody just kind of bands together and these games are just a small glimpse of that community spirit in Carteret County.' For first responders, it's friendly competition but also a way to come together as one community. 'A lot of the times that we have the recipients, that they've been first responders within the community, people that you know, and you get to help them out yourself,' School Resource Officer in Morehead City Charlie Millea said. 'So, being on the board, I get to volunteer and go out and speak to the businesses and make the logos and things like that to actually help this come together and get some money for these people in their the times of need.' The competition isn't confined to the field as police officers and firefighters will also take part in the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive. The blood drive will be May 8th to see which department can donate the most. 'For every donor that comes in will get to vote, you know, red for fire, blue for police,' Kristin Willis with the American Red Cross said. 'And then yes, we will do a winner and the winner gets to take home the trophy.' First pitch of the game Saturday is at 3 p.m. at Big Rock Stadium. Tickets are $10 apiece. There will also be T-shirts available and raffle prizes to raise money for the cause. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Thieves steal $80K+ in Louis Vuitton handbags from Edmond consignment store
EDMOND, Okla. (KFOR) — Oklahoma City Police are looking for three men involved in a robbery that left an Edmond luxury store out of thousands in handbags. Kristen Davis is the owner of the Re-Find Designer, a luxury consignment store in Edmond. She said her business was broken into a couple weeks ago at 1 a.m. Davis got a notification from her security system alerting her of a forced entry. 'I'm watching on my video from security options, just watching them rob,' said Davis. The thieves took dozens of Louis Vuitton handbags and other surrounding bags near their back wall. 'It's just disheartening, it's somewhere in the neighborhood of $80,000.' said Davis. This robbery was not the first time their store was burglarized. The first one was in April last year. The thieves in that incident took hundreds of thousands of dollars, Davis said. Oklahoma City Police investigating armed robbery at local store Consigners reach out to the Re-Find Designer to sell luxury items in the Edmond store. The items then go through a luxury authenticating service to ensure all designer goods are 100% real. From there, the Re-Find Designer will display the bags for purchase in the boutique. When a shopper buys an item, the consigner is paid. In the April 2024 robbery, Davis said she used her own money to repay the consigners for their items that were stolen and not purchased. Davis shared security video from the incident with News 4. The suspects in the January robbery used what appears to be a brick, throwing into their front door and breaking the glass. Davis puts Apple Air Tags in the majority of her handbags, using them as tracking devices, in the event something like this happens. 'We started watching them and they went immediately and got on I-35 and we tracked them all the way,' Davis said. An arrest warrant and affidavit detail the suspects getting away in a blue Kia Forte with stolen tags out of Norman. Dallas Police identified one of the men as Loy Hicks, an African American man from Texas. 'We saw that they parked in a hotel parking lot and then the bags, two of the trackers went different directions' said Davis. She's hoping they find all three suspects and hopefully get her merchandise back. However, she said the incident won't be a setback. The Re-Find Designer is working to install riot glass in their windows and doors. They have really good security systems, cameras, and fortified doors to ensure thieves don't return. News 4 reached out to Dallas PD about the investigation and they said the Oklahoma City Police Department is the lead agency in the case. We called OKCPD later this evening for an update and am waiting to hear back. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
