As wealthy as Billy is, he will still be 57 and at 57, one must be more careful about their health than someone who is 27 or 37. What I'm trying to say is that he might not be able to do the same "daddy-kid" things he might have done with kids from his previous marriage, all because of his age. That isn't all that good, I don't think.

Lets not concentrate on just Billy Joel. Kate Lee had a say in the matter. She's college educated, and probably posesses at least the minimal math skills needed to perform an analysis of how old her husband will be when their children hit certain milestones. I'm sure that she thought long and hard about this. She weighed her options, and decided that even though this would be very different, and that there would be narrow minded people who would pass judgement, this would work for her, and her future children. She probably realized that Billy Joel will be able to provide their children wisdom, and a musical home that almost no younger man ever could. This doesn't sound so bad to me.
A 32 year age gap is too much for most people. Its too much for me. I've never been involved with a women more than several years younger than me. If this it what works for them, and they have a healthy relationship, then I'm happy for them.
