Christie Brinkley's take on marriage
Christie Brinkley and Kristin Davis discussed marriage and love, among other topics, on the Are You A Charlotte? podcast. During their conversation, the 71-year-old Sports Illustrated model, who has been married four times, compared marriage to a contract one could “renew” now and then. According to Brinkley, people should have the liberty to decide every five years if they want to remain married to their spouse.
"You could get married, like, ‘We’ll see if you want to renew it in five years,’” Christie Brinkley was quoted as saying by Fox.
“Every five years, go, ‘Do you want to renew?’ That way, if you’re getting bored or whatever, you can get out of it without all the lawyers and all that stuff," she added on the Are You A Charlotte? podcast.
