Billy Joel, 65, and girlfriend, 33, expecting baby

BILLY Joel is set to become a dad again at 65 — and his girlfriend is just four years older than his daughter, Alexa Ray.

BILLY Joel has confirmed he is becoming a dad again aged 65.

The singer and his 33-year-old girlfriend Alexis Roderick, who have been dating for five years, are expecting their first child in August.

“Billy Joel and his girlfriend, Alexis Roderick, are expecting their first child this summer ... The couple, together since 2009, opted to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut,” Joel said in a statement said.

Joel issued the statement after Radar Online first reported that Roderick is pregnant with his child, and is expecting a girl.

The website said the child would be named Madison, but a source said this was not the correct name.

Alexis, 33, is a former Morgan Stanley financial adviser, and while sources recently said they have no immediate plans to marry, she has been seen wearing a diamond ring.

Joel already has daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 29, with Christie Brinkley.
