Supermodel Christie Brinkley has filed for divorce, three months after reports that her husband, Peter Cook, had an affair with a nubile 18-year-old.

Brinkley, 52, announced in July that she and Cook, 47, had separated. They were married in 1996, and have an 8-year-old daughter, Sailor. Cook adopted Brinkley's son, Jack, now 11, from her marriage to developer Richard Taubman.

The couple's separation provided mucho juice for the gossip sheets when Diana Bianchi, now 19, claimed Cook had seduced her just after hiring her to work at his architectural firm. A seemingly contrite Cook even issued a public apology to Brinkley in a Cindy Adams gossip column.

Cook is Brinkley's fourth husband. The connubially challenged infomercial princess was also married to artist Jean-Francois Allaux and singer Billy Joel.
