The iconic supermodel reveals shocking details about her turbulent past with ex-husband Peter Cook in her upcoming tell-all book. Supermodel Christie Brinkley is pulling back the curtain on her painful divorce from ex-husband Peter Cook in her highly anticipated memoir, My Life in Pictures. In exclusive excerpts obtained by People, Brinkley describes their marriage as a “tormented experience” filled with betrayal and heartbreak.
A Marriage Marred by Scandal

“It was a dark period,” Brinkley admits in the book. “I felt humiliated, but I had to stay strong for my family.”
Where Are They Now?
