Celebrity chef Katie Lee and musician Billy Joel are getting divorced after five years of marriage.

“After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate” a statement made by the couple read. “This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other.”

The marriage is Joel’s third marriage, with the piano man having previously been married to Christie Brinkley.

The much younger Katie Lee is believed to be in a relationship with fashion designer Yigal Azrouel, although it’s not clear whether the relationship is the cause of the divorce, or happened after the couple had already separated.
