Former supermodel Christie Brinkley is splitting from her husband, architect Peter Cook, after 10 years of marriage. It will be Brinkley’s fourth divorce.

E! Online reports that Brinkley’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the news on Wenesday.

“Her immediate concern is for her children, and she’s hoping during this difficult time that people will be kind enough to respect her privacy,” read a statement from Mintz.

Brinkley, 52, and Cook, 47, had one child together, eight-year-old girl Sailor Lee. Cook also adopted Brinkley’s 11-year-old son Jack when the two wed in September 1996. Jack’s biological father is Brinkley’s third husband, Richard Taubman.

Taubman and Brinkley married in 1994, but the model filed for divorce the next year. Before that, she was married to singer Billy Joel from 1985 to 1994. Her first marriage, to French artist Francois Allaux, lasted from 1973 until 1981.

Brinkley is currently the spokesmodel for CoverGirl’s Advanced Radiance line of cosmetic products for mature women.
