BILLY JOEL's daughter ALEXA RAY JOEL has spoken out in defence of her stepmother KATIE LEE, insisting Lee did not marry her father for his money.

Joel married TV cookery correspondent KATIE LEE in 2004 - even though Lee is only four years older than 20-year-old Alexa, who is set to launch her own pop career.

 

But Alexa, the daughter of Joel and his first wife, model CHRISTIE BRINKLEY, believes their love is genuine.

 

She says, "I certainly know what it's like to be labelled and given a hard time because you're connected with someone - my dad. I'm sure that was hard for her, too. Once I got to know her, all my worries kind of went away.

 

"Katie has her own career going and she's very talented in her own right. If she was some air-headed ditzy girl, that would be an issue."
